A couple of weeks ago, I took my two youngest brothers and my youngest sister to see Wall-E. I’m a huge Pixar and so I expected the best! Dreamworks might make funny 3D animations but, in my humble opinion, they’re not generally instant classics like Pixar’s work. We were at a premiere in a packed and age-diverse theater filled with excited people. The lights went out, the movies started, and about 90 minutes later the credits rolled. During those 90 minutes I was treated to a wonderful story and an epic feat!
Pixar took a robot that looked like a cross between binoculars, a tank, and a trashcan and digitally breathed life into him! And they managed to do it all with close to no dialog as well! I won’t go into plot details but they even managed to squeeze in a heart-felt love story for good measure. To me, Wall-E was a masterpiece and a movie I will be purchasing without a doubt!And it was more than just about a robot, it was a meaningful social commentary simplified to a level that even a child could understand an appreciate! It was a peek into our present and our future!
It almost offended me to hear people put the movie down.”I expected better” and “Good but not great” filled my ears! It’s true that everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but I could barely believe what I was hearing! Wall-E was like poetry to me. It shocked me that others couldn’t see that! Oh well, I guess the masses will always prefer raunchy jokes and silly sidekicks…
