I have high expectation on WALL·E. Somewhat close to the level of anticipation I had with “Lilo & Stitch”. And the movie delivers. What a magical experience. Don’t compromise. Watch WALL·E in a digital format.
I walked into the theater with little knowledge of what the story is about beyond what I saw in the trailer. What a lovely journey of discovery. And I won’t spoil it for you here. All I can say is that WALL·E is a timely movie talking about our environment and going green.
The jaw dropping budget of $180 million (equals to the budget of “The Dark Knight” and “The Golden Compass”) has the jaw dropping computer animation to match. The beautiful scene of the galaxy, dust and explosion that appears so real, there are so much details that I wish I could slow down the frame rate and admire. Beyond the eye candies is the characters’ ability to communicate feeling and emotion without words. The filmmakers are able to mimic the essence of human body language and make the animated robotic characters alive.
I love sci-fi stories so naturally I love to watch this movie. There are three nods from three of us in the Movie Review Squad. So what are you waiting for? And if you have time, check out the official site listed below. It is quite possibly one of the most elaborated film website I have seen. I can’t help but to marvel at the art of the animation.

reduce, reuse, and recycle, folks!
Sylv – Me too! I like your 3 R’s approach to waste management.
Woo I didnt think much of the movie until I read your entry. I actually thought of watching “Boy A”.
Si Ying – If you like animation and if you have time, you should check this out!
Cool Movie, really one of the best Pixar film. Did you all see the bonus short film by Pixar? The one with the rabbit and the magic hat, that a very funny one.. haha!
Ng – Yes! Thanks for the reminder. That short film – which I anticipated it to appear – is hilarious. Good ending too!
Heh I finally caught the movie so I came back (as usual) to re-read your review to see if I agree!
To be honest the movie poster didn’t excite me much and I was actually finding excuses not to watch it but thank goodness I decided to catch it anyways!
Agree that it was a great movie, even though I never really like sci-fi/robots kinda thing.
What struck me the most was the message they were trying to send – especially when I saw all the fat humans who could no longer use their limbs because they became so lazy.
Thumbs up!
I love the love story between Even and Wall-E! So touching I almost teared 😛
G – I know! Lovely story, isn’t it? Make you forget that these are robots … not real some more.
To me, the message of going green and reverse the pollution and destruction of our Earth is probably the strongest. Ya, those fat humans we now laugh at may one day be a reality. You know what was in my mind? Thousands of years ago if you were to tell people that most of us in the future would need a pair of glasses to see clearly, that idea would probably be outrages. Now it is a norm, isn’t it?
Yes wilf you are so right! I didn’t think about that.
When the captain didn’t know how to open the book “manually” like we do now, it struck me that technology over time can really make the simplest of things obsolete.
Scary!
G – That’s right. Maybe one day we all lost the ability to write and instead, we type!
