It's difficult to make a movie for all ages, with a main character that says three words throughout the entire movie, and communicates to you in whistles and eye movements. It's difficult to make a movie that clearly has a large moral to the story, but still lets you leave with the feeling of knowing you've just seen one of the greatest films of all time. And it's difficult to make a movie that will move you to tears, simply because of how perfect the art is you have just witnessed.
WALL-E has accomplished all of this.
Said to be the last movie discussed at the now famous 1994 Pixar Lunch (along with Toy Story, A Bugs Life, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, and last, WALL-E) it has truly shown that good things come to those who wait.
This film is truly an epic, as the hero curious hero WALL-E and his clearly-based-off-of-an-ipod (pixar and steve jobs are butt buddies, what can you really do about it?) love interest Eve travel through space, all the while giving us a painfully true look at humankind in 700 years. The voice acting is hardly there, with what seemed to be under 100 words spoken the entire movie, and any words spoken by robots were made entirely through mechanical sounds, and it was done brilliantly.
The chemistry between the two main robots in the movie is some of the best I have ever seen between two anything, ever. I truly felt that they were in love, and they were animated robots on a movie.
The only thing that could possibly be said bad about this entire movie, was that it only clocked in at 103 minutes. I wanted a 3 hour movie, Pixar. 3 hours.
So far, Pixar has blown my mind with their movies that make all others (especially animated ones) look like chump films. Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bugs Life, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, and now WALL-E. Up next we have UP and Toy Story 3. I can't wait.
Please, for the love of God, see this movie. 5/5, 10/10, A+, Two thumbs up, and a tear shed for beauty.
