I have a soft spot for Disney-Pixar animations. As usual, I am 2 years behind the rest of the world and have only gotten round to seeing WALL-E today. I guess when the movie came out, I was less than enthusiastic to watch a movie about the consequences of humanity's greed and voracious appetite for development. Don't get me wrong, I care about our planet and its future but I wouldn't classify myself as a bona fide environmental activist.
Basic Plot
Sometime in the future (Year 2805), earth's sole inhabitant, a trash compacting robot named WALL-E continues to fulfill his directive of cleaning up after humanity's garbage. The earth has turned into a wasteland of rubbish and humans left 700 years ago to live a decadent lifestyle in space. When a probe robot named EVE is sent to find evidence of sustainable life on earth, pandamonium erupts. WALL-E, smitten with the beautiful EVE, follows her back to the space station where a hilarious story of love, friendship and mutiny unfolds.
~Love at first sight?~
What I liked most about the movie
It amazes me how Disney-Pixar are able to convey emotions simply through the characters movements and robotic sounds. My heart went out to the sweet and innocent WALL-E. The storyline was also quite unique, with the environmental message always present but not in a patronizing way.
What I disliked about the movie
There is little to dislike, it is after all a light animated movie. However, fans of action based movies would probably find the storyline a bit slow.
A quote I liked from the movie
"I don't want to survive! I want to live!" (It's how everybody should feel)
All in all a very good movie with superb animations and beautiful storytelling (eventhough only 5% of the dialog is in actual English). Good wholesome family viewing. If you haven't seen it, you should.
Rating: 3.9/5
Now I feel like recycling something...
