WALL·E Reviews

Es de las mejores películas del estudio, este siempre se ha caracterizado por tratar temas más complejos de lo que parece a primera vista, pero aquí ciertamente se destacaron por el hecho de abordar el tema de manera directa y lo hace de tal modo que nadie olvida lo impactante que fue ver la raza humana en el futuro.
PD: aunque el protagonista es más una mascota que otra cosa, ciertamente el guión maneja muy bien el hecho de que no hable.

WALL·E is one of the best animated films ever created. Although it has been released back in 2008, I have just recently watched it and I must say that it is still relevant and engaging to its audience.

WALL·E is a love story between two robots (WALL·E and EVE) set in a distant future of Earth. WALL·E, the protagonist in the story lives his everyday life sorting and collecting junk and taking care of them. His normal routine is disrupted when he meets another robot but more advanced in tech, EVE, and falls into the love-at-first-sight state. Their meeting ensues the revealing of the richer story.

There is not much dialogue in the film (well, for the main characters that is) but the audience can still be captivated with its animation tastefully done and supporting characters that add more flavor to the film. The satirical elements of the film will definitely make its audience think about the consequences of advanced technology. Overall, the film is splendid and watching it again would still be a pleasant experience.

Pixar have touched us with years of movies which are enjoyed by many, 'WALL-E' is one of my favorites

'WALL-E' is a detailed, animated classic! Wanna know why? The story is certainly very interesting; in the 29th century, humans have left a whole load of waste all over Earth which is cleaned up by a robot WALL-E, he falls in love with another robot called EVE, who also has a programmed task, and follows her into outer space on an adventure that edits the destiny of both his kind and humanity. Both robots exhibit an appearance of free will and emotions similar to humans, which develop further during the movie

Like all Pixar movies, the animation is just gorgeous, 'Toy Story', 'A Bug's Life', 'Monsters Inc', 'Finding Nemo', 'Cars' and 'Ratatouille' all had different characters and animation was given to all of them

The voice acting is also very good and the movie is educational when it comes to Physics (pretty much like 'Gravity' and 'Apollo 13')

For those who may not yet 'know' mu ?views? (especially about THIS film)- I consider it to be the MOST EXCEPTIONAL animated tale EVER told. A prophetic "Romeo & Juliet" meets [the world's] "Gone with the Wind" - presented by the inexplicably talented team at Pixar with ingenious imagination. It truly "HAS - something for everyONE" AND, a message we all need to heed. - jts

Many will attempt to describe WALL-E with a one-liner. It's R2-D2 in love. 2001: A Space Odyssey starring The Little Tramp. An Inconvenient Truth meets Idiocracy on its way to Toy Story. But none of these do justice to a film that's both breathtakingly majestic and heartbreakingly intimate-and, for a good long while, absolutely bereft of dialogue save the squeals, beeps, and chirps of a sweet, lonely robot who, aside from his cockroach pet, is the closest thing to the last living being on earth.

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Breaking barriers, flying beyond live action or animation genres. Pixar picks these risky subjects to make into a film. In the end, all that risk pays off as a fresh film. Who would watch a movie with two robots that don't even exist in the real world? We would, Pixar has made such an amazing film and that's why we would watch it and we should! Creating something out of nothing and making it work and click with audiences around the world. Uniting us in the process as we share our love and appreciation for this beautiful work of art. Deserves every bit of money spent at the theatre and would be great to own the DVD or Blu-ray. The ending will make you cry like a little girl even if you have the ability to control your tears, you will still be choking. There are great supporting characters too. Andrew Stanton and team have put together a timeless masterpiece that will be celebrated through the ages. If any of you haven't seen this film yet, watch it right away.

An excellent accomplishment, Wall-E is undeniably Pixar's strongest release to date, as well as the most adult and probably the most tear-jerking, although Monsters, Inc. is deserving of holding the top spot. Come on, who didn't choke up on the ending. Anyway, Wall-E is enjoyable by both adults and children. Children will be fascinated by the visuals - which were top-notch, by the way - and by the robot's, Wall-E, mannerisms and all the funny bits. Adults, however, get to see beyond more than just laughs, more than just a robot whose vocabulary is limited to just 5-6 words. We, the adults, get to see the destruction of our world, and the people, in a frank, straight-forward, and shocking it may sound, truthful way. The people in the film have become obese, bloated and lazy. They have long since given up walking and are 100% dependent on machines. They spend their waking moments eating, drinking, and staring at the screen in front of them, just like we all do, just like you're doing right now. They are so engrossed in it that they have lost all contact with the outside world and have become totally oblivious to both themselves and the vicinity; We have a pool? Even though Andrew Stanton and pretty much all the crew behind this film had only intended it to be a children's movie, it instead gave us a heavy presentation of our fast (or rapidly?) decaying world and how we have become dependent on machines and technology. Take a walk outside, go to a fair or someplace, and observe how many people are actually looking at the world around them. That's right, few to none, as all of their noses are stuck on their phones. And I'm saying this from experience. The life onboard the Axiom correctly matches our own here on how people have become stupid, totally reliant on technology and the media. Oh yes, don't forget the media. Everything, literally everything, has been replaced by screens, both onboard the Axiom and the real world. Wanna talk to the other guy? The screen is here. Wanna play golf? The screen is here. Wanna just sit and stare idly at something? Well, the screen is here! E-reading has taken over the traditional way of reading books, and that right there proves my point. I wish the underlying - and serious - themes of Wall-E wakes people up from their slumber and that somebody does something about it. Little kids may laugh at the film, but adults know better.

Anyway, as a cartoon, Wall-E is a masterpiece. Its main protagonist is by and far their most iconic creation to date. I think he should be a bigger household name than Buzz or Woody, Pixar's original heroes. Mute, or semi-mute, or in this case a robot, characters have a unique way of tugging at your heart-strings; They speak aloud with their expressions and/or whatever they can mumble through their limited vocabulary. We have countless movies about the last man left alone on earth and we all have cried one way or another, especially when we see his daily, lonely routine in a montage or when his only friend dies, namely I Am Legend, with Will Smith and his dog. Wall-E is about the last robot left alone on what has become of earth and finds love in EVE, a sleek robot sent to earth to bring back a life form, that is if there is any. The naming of that robot, EVE, is not a co-incidence. EVE and Wall-E reminded me of Adam & Eve, and the Axiom the Noah's Ark, although it really doesn't make any sense, but I don't know. When the human beings land on earth once again, bringing about the story of the first people on earth, descended from Paradise (Axiom to them was heaven). Oh, what the hey!

The sci-fi influences on Wall-E is unmissable. Trained eyes cannot fail to spot references to Terminator, Alien, Aliens, RoboCop, Star Trek, Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey, the most easiest to spot from them all. Auto, the rogue auto-pilot A.I. is designed on HAL 9000, not difficult to spot. They also play the theme from the film - quite shamelessly - when the captain starts to walk for the first time. Hell, they even have Sigourney Weaver in a voice role, so what does that tell you?

In conclusion, Wall-E is a beautiful cartoon with an amazing attention to detail. It shouldn't be approached for just entertainment, but with also a psychological understanding to it in mind. Try to take everything in a metamorphical sense and you will understand. If only we can be serious about this, we can save the world, and ourselves, from becoming what just saw.

9.0/10

Pixar is deservedly the poster-child of the rendered animation world and this is undoubtedly the best for its time. The sound, textures, lighting, character, prop and scene design are outstanding in Pixar's oeuvre.

As for the writing, there's quite a bit of tongue-in-cheek stereotyping of the human component but the majority of the film correctly focuses on the relationship between EVE and WALL·E and gives the sense that although both the product of humans they have much more to offer the satellite-clouded toxified remains of Earth than the people.

The child-like innocence of WALL·E immediately garners the audience's sympathy and support as does his demonstration of his raison d'etre to EVE concluding with the endearing "Ta-da!" The love story is incredibly moving, particularly so when EVE goes into stasis after acquiring a biological specimen. WALL·E's tenacity and determination to take her to his favourite spots in the hope of eliciting a response from her was crushingly reminiscent of when a loved one is in a coma. This quite choked me up. And this is barely 1/3 of the way through. The film is so enthralling that it seems to pack more into less time. The dance sequence between the two love-struck robots was very well executed and scored (the music throughout the film is superb) and the disturbed cloud of ice crystals gives a great hook for the very funny Pixar short BURN·E.

This film is filled to the brim with heart, perhaps just a little more than it needed but it's forgivable. To squeeze so much emotional range out of the main characters given their design showed a thoughtful process that flows into every niche of the film. The detail and quality of every aspect of this film is breathtaking. For families, for children and adult children this film is a keeper.

It's been years since I've seen Wall-E. I remember enjoying it, just like the rest of the Pixar bunch, so I got it via Netflix to see again. A wise choice. Wall-E is even better than I remember it.

Wall-E is an ingenious film that occurs thousands of years in the future. Humans no longer live on the Earth due to pollution, they instead live in a giant spaceship, called the Axim. The Wall-E robots are left at Earth to clean up the mess. All of the Wall-E's, however, have been wiped out over time. Only one remains. But when EVE, a robot from the Axim, comes to Earth to find life, Wall-E's life is flipped upside down.

The first half-hour of the film is performed with minimal dialogue, but still mananges to express all kinds of emotion: Laughter, loneliness, perhaps even sadness. I cried multiple times throughout the film.

The animation is gorgeous, even for today. And the musical score, composed by Thomas Newman, is excellent.

There really isn't any sort of flaw to this film. It's entertaining, it's funny, it has a lot of heart, there's amazing animation, and an impressive musical score.

Of course, I haven't even touched base on the best aspect of the film: the characters. Wall-E has, perhaps, some of the most memorable (and hilarious) characters in all Pixar history. From the quirky Wall-E, to the grumpy M-O, to the rotund captain of the Axim, there's an endless abundance of charming cast members.

Wall-E is not the crowing achievement of Pixar....but it's pretty close.
