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

    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.

    The moment I saw this small guy he totally stole my attention. I really enjoyed this Movie so much

    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.

    just one of the animation greats, a secret society open to Woody, buzz lightyear and the gang and our favourite little robot, WALL-E,even this had me in stitches, something that... happens very often with funny films.

    A very enjoyable movie, funny and interesting. The only problem is it may lull you to sleep during some parts but nevertheless a humorous and visual adventure.

    Incredibly CUTE! Love it (: (: (:

    I am very impressed with this. Pixar hasn't had the great success in the past couple of years that that i know it could have had. Pixar has so much potential and I really think that this was a great way to revive its dying image. The hype for this was not wasted. I really enjoyed... read more this and I highly recommend this film to anyone. What it offers should please any audience.

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

The power of WALL-E as a character, the poetic figure of the robot drawn to human splendor, remains powerful throughout -- and Pixar's loveliest creation. 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
