Disney and Pixar join forces for this computer-animated tale about a wide-eyed robot who travels to the deepest reaches of outer space in search of a newfound friend. The year is 2700, and planet Eart... read more read more...h has long been uninhabitable. For hundreds of years, WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the boredom of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth, and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humankind. When highly advanced search robot EVE makes friends with WALL-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there's hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone in space, WALL-E can't stand the thought of losing the only friend he's ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for. Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton returns to the helm for this family-friendly sci-fi adventure featuring the voices of Fred Willard, Jeff Garlin, and Ben Burtt. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Quite touching and entertaining, Wall-E is not the masterpiece some claim it to be, but it is another remarkable film from Pixar all the same.

    "Wall-E" is not just your average loveable Pixar film, but it also has the brains and a realistic tone to go along with it. As a world is stripped of everything, a banned wasteland remains with a little robot to re-inhabit the earth. It shows what life could really be like in a t... read morehousand years from now, with a society that is corrupt on technology, becoming fat and run by computers, having no relation to the outside world. When opportunity presents itself, the story then becomes a mission to repopulate the earth. There are so many symbols for adults to notice and appreciate what their childhood was like, and so many symbols that this generation to snap out of and notice as well. "Wall-E" is not just an amazing pixar film, but story-wise, it's one of the best films of 2008!

    Forget great Pixar film, this is just a great science-fiction film period. The title character and Eve make for a cute duo. Kids will enjoy the charmingly funny antics while adults will be taken in by the film's surprisingly dark and biting social commentary (obesity, commercia... read morelism, environmentalism). Every scene from the desolate Earth to the vastness of space bursts with some of the most beautiful animation committed to film. The robot characters are well-designed and manage to be endearing with very little dialogue. 'Wall-E' is a heartwarming love story combined with a great sci-fi tale and it remains a testament to why Pixar is one of the best things to ever happen to cinema.

    Beautiful is the first word that springs to mind here, the work on show here is truely stunning. Every single effect is perfect down to the last nut, the last bolt and the last glowing led. Everything looks fantastic, there is nothing thats looks bad, NOTHING. All he robot charac... read moreters are excellent and well designed, Wall E is of course the best design. He's almost like a Rubik's cube cross Transformer the way he folds and packs himself away to sleep or when he's scared. The actual mechanics and precision tech design used is amazing, every inch fits perfectly into place.

    The imagination and concepts on show are brilliant, all the robots are designed for their own purpose BUT they actually look like they could be made for real life purposes haha Pixar could really create these little guys for reality, or so it looks. The humans are well done, being fat and almost boneless due to being born and raised in space, the way they are looked after and helpless is a nice touch which is probably what would happen haha. The sound effects are really nice too, not far of what you would expect but good none the less.

    A simple love story with a massive heart that just nips at the toes of 'ET' and 'Short Circuit' but we all knew that would be the case with this. Very sweet, adorable and emotional in places, Wall E is the best film I have seen since Rambo.
    Pixar win again, the film its lovely but its the visuals that really stick, as usual. Warning, tissues needed :)

    A sci-fi Disney/PIXAR animation with one of the most important messages a film can have.
  • January 22, 2012
    Call me heartless but this film is an absolute bore. It looks as great as any pixar movie, it starts brilliantly but its storyline can make people feel bad about themselves and films aren't made to do that. Also, without people or "robots" speaking, I just cant take the films mes... read moresage seriously. It wasn't bad but I don think it was that good either.

    Wall-e is enjoyable, funny, and another reminder that Pixar is the master when it comes to animation and storytelling. The story is set thousands of years in the future and is about a robot named Wall-e who is perhaps one of the last inhabitant things on earth. He longs for a c... read moreompanion, and one day another robot is sent to earth for the "directive." We learn this new robot is named Eve, and the two become friends. When he shows her a plant he found, she takes it and goes into a long sleep.. When a rocket ship comes and gets her, Wall-e sneaks in board not ready to give up the robot he loves, and he is sent on a journey like no other. The plot not only tells a incredible story, I was able to understand what was going on even with much of the film having no dialogue and I was never bored and it gave me non-human characters I fell in love with almost instantly. The score of the film is one of Pixars best and it gave the movie the perfect feel to it. The animation is one of the greatest in the history of film, I mean they gave me an apocolyptic world, space, hundreds of robots, and a incredibly large space ship, making it one if the best looking animated films ever. Wall-e is not the typical animated film, its much more than that, its the tale of friendship, life, and bravery, and I loved it.

WALL-E is a classic, but it will never appeal to people who are happy with art only when it has as little bite as possible. Full Review

No movie can be a downer that fills you with pure exhilaration. You leave WALL-E with a feeling of the rarest kind: that you've just enjoyed a close encounter with an enduring classic.

The picture feels weirdly, and disappointingly, disjointed, something that starts out as poetry and ends as product. Full Review

WALL-E is a surprisingly moving parable of what we waste, and what we should cherish -- and wrapped in a romance so absurdly moving it could wring a tear or two even from Gort and Robby the Robot. Or ... Full Review

Oh, I see the ship's log is showing that today is the 700th anniversary of our five year cruise. Well, I'm sure our forefathers would be proud to know that 700 years later we'd be doing the exact same thing they were doing. So, be sure next mealtime to ask for your free sep-tua-centennial cupcake in a cup. Wow, look at that.
