Wall*E

Punisher Bass · June 27th, 2008, 11:26 PM

I just got back from seeing it in Digital Projection. It was a good movie, top notch animation as always from Pixar, good hearted story, but it was lacking something I can't put my finger on. I don't know what it is, but it's been sitting in the back of my mind since I got home. I'll try to expand on it later if I can.

Anyway, it was far better than Cars and I highly recomend seeing it. Also the short before the movie "Presto Changeo" was really really good. It reminded me of Jack Jack Attack.

Very good movie, go see it.

Will do!

AarheadC · June 28th, 2008, 11:24 AM

i was pleasantly surprised with the movie too. I recommend it to you all

matt2000 · June 28th, 2008, 11:56 AM

I watched the HD trailer of this on the Apple site. Like Punisher Bass said the animation looked great, but I always get the feeling that Pixar films are always for kids. When I saw cars the cinema was full of screaming kids, made me feel like the old bloke who goes and plays in kids sandpits (this might not happen).

Anyone who hasn't had the chance to watch it, trailer is here, and available in 1080p!

I saw it, And Im happy to say it was good.

Punisher Bass · June 28th, 2008, 09:14 PM

I've been thinking it over, and I still can't pin point exactly what is wrong. The first half is great and it all kind of falls apart during the second half. Once the humans come into the picture things go downhill.

The reason the first part works so well I think is because it's much like most Pixar shorts with little to no dialog, they let actions speak louder than words. It's endearing watching these innocent little robots just do their own thing. If the second half was more like the first, then I would have called this the best movie they've done yet.

Great movie, but that short before it was fucking hilarious! images/smilies/lmao.gif

Oh, and now I remember why I stopped seeing kids movies in theaters. I literally got to sit in front of "what's that?", "is that Wall*E?", etc. etc. etc. for the whole fucking movie. God I hate kids.

wooflepoof · June 29th, 2008, 09:40 AM

Incredible movie, very much up to Pixar standards

vanMould · June 29th, 2008, 11:04 AM

Just like everything Pixar does, I'll go see Wall-E as soon as I can. Unfortunately, I live in Europe, so that'll be September...

D-Fence · July 1st, 2008, 12:12 PM

Yeah I so want to see that too. It has already got awesome ratings here, but still not out. And I want to see it in the cinema...

really? i live in Switzerland and we get it at the end of July. We are usually some of the last to get movies in Europe. Most of the time the DVD is out in the UK just a month or so after it shows in the cinema here.

smib · July 2nd, 2008, 11:36 AM

I've been wondering what this movie would be like, but with the praise from all of you I'm going to have to go see it.

Scott · July 2nd, 2008, 02:00 PM

Saw it last night... I could have done without the not so subtle "save 'da earf" messages, but overall it was pretty decent.

wooflepoof · July 3rd, 2008, 09:29 PM

no, Happy Feet coulda done without all that. I think this was done in a more humorously ironic way. Sort of like the Daily Show
