    Best film of 2008 and one of the best films of the decade. WALL-E is unbelievable. A near perfect film. I am in awe.

    It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...there were actually some funny parts.

    Ah, PIXAR. Long have I enjoyed their magnificently crafted works of art. They had me enthralled from the start with Toy Story, presented one of the most original animated stories with Monsters, Inc. and up until a couple of years ago, I was convinced The Incredibles would be thei...( read more)r finest hour. Granted, I've found a few of their films to be just alright (hello, Finding Nemo) and I still have a few to see (really, REALLY keen to see Up) but even the films that aren't as spellbinding are at best good films, so it's fair to say they are a movie industry juggernaut. Now, unless one of the films I have yet to see changes this, I believe WALL-E is their crowning achievement.

    I'm fairly certain most if not all of you know the basics of the story but very quickly: WALL-E (voice produced by Ben Burtt) is a trash collecting robot. The last one, in fact. He's on Earth and is about to get into a series of misadventures.

    One of the most impressive things early on in the film is that despite being set in the future (another "Oh crap, we're screwed" kinda future), the film is almost like an homage to the silent film era. While there is dialogue, it is mostly heard through recordings. WALL-E expresses himself through movement mostly and his antics are very much similar to what silent movie stars would have done in their films. It's nice to see even with things moving forward and people obsessed with not looking back, someone is still paying tribute to days gone by.

    WALL-E himself is a lovable character. I mean, he's just so damn cute! He likes the simple things in existence, the objects we throw away are the items that fill him up with joy (and as we all know, he just loves Hello Dolly! so much). Hell, to call him merely cute is an understatement! To me, he's already joined such great fictional robot/android/cyborg characters such as Hymie, Zeke, Bishop, Marvin the Paranoid Android and R2-D2 and could even possibly beat Bender, Soundwave, Kryten and Crow T. Robot as my all time favourite. And his interactions with EVE are wonderful. So much attention to detail.

    WALL-E also marks PIXAR's first use of a live action human appearance, that of Fred Willard as the CEO of Buy'N'Large. Fred was an excellent choice to play someone with a seemingly friendly demeanor, who acts like every customer/consumer is a personal friend. And there is a nice little effect of showing that spending 700 years or so off Earth, the human race has become more... "cartoon-like" in their physical appearance.

    As usual, PIXAR does something that studios like Blue Sky and Dreamworks sometimes have trouble doing: combining an intricate story with better animation that can never be rivaled. Usually, the two aforementioned studios get caught up in the effects but the story is rather uninspired (the prime failing of Robots), the story is great but the animation doesn't leave you in awe (Antz, but I want to stress that since I usually care more for story than I do visuals, it's not a bad thing) and then you get some which don't work on any given level (Chicken Little, I hate you. I hate you so much). PIXAR never lets any one area fall by the wayside and like I said, even their "worst" movies are average by regular standards. They've never done anything God-awful and I don't think they possibly can.

    So I've finally seen it - so I could break my bad movies week - and was floored. This stunning animation brings the image to the forefront as the storyteller.

    Most intriguing to me is the idea that robots and droids are all designed to emote - obviously the movie needs to do th...( read more)is for it to work as a story - but to imagine a world where robotics designers even take care to make bots show emotive states like humans is one I'd rather live in than a mech-heavy never ending uncanny valley of a world. This is a refreshingly optimistic film while still including sobering subtle commentary. The most amazing thing about this film is how universally comprehensible in message it is - and to do that with animated robots is just mind-bogglingly brilliant.

    Inspired, charming and full of personality, this is one of Pixar's best. Wall-E is their most visual character ever, the most wonderfully designed and nuanced; his slightest movements are like visual poetry in their power and efficiency of expression. The digital environments are...( read more) gorgeous, the score is rich, and the sound design is perfect. The story is sci-fi but cautionary, futuristic with contemporary resonance, but what will make the film endure is its beauty and intimacy. Like its star, the film is much more than the technology used to create it.

    One of the greatest pixar movies to date, i think it will be a while before another animated movie is as good as this, UP couldnt even touch this movie in my opinion and the only thing even coming close is Finding Nemo

    I would classify this movie as a romantic comedy. It was a beautiful and funny love story. I could never imagine the expressions of a robot would be so perfectly shown.
