We recently bought blu-ray player and along with it, two blu-ray discs. One, was Iron Man and the other, WALL-E. Both of which look fantastic in blu-ray (yes, DH the player was a good buy).
Now I know I’ve proclaimed my love for all that is Pixar before, but I absolutely LOVE, I mean LOVE WALL-E! It’s NOT a kid’s movie by any means and I know of a lot of people who judged it critically based on that criteria. But if you watch it as you would watch any other film, I think you’d realize how incredibly insightful, beautiful and heartfelt the movie really is. The first, I’d say, 45 minutes of the movie doesn’t have much dialog which was another downside for some but the interactions and robot movements were sublime in how they expressed feeling and thought.
The graphics are, of course, flawless and magnificent. The soundtrack also plays a major role in this one. The “divine dancing” track has become a favorite at work when I need to block out sound and listen to something soothing but inspiring (yes, I downloaded the entire soundtrack).
The the humor is interwoven well as well as eco-friendly message the creators obviously wanted to convey. The message does make you think and provides further depth for the plot (can artificial intelligence save humans?) — it all came together perfectly.
Plus, the fact that they can make a robot endearing and make us question whether non-living objects can have a SOUL, something that permeates the being and outlasts its parts, is amazing.
Needless to say, if you haven’t seen the movie, see it (preferably sans enfants).
P.S. What happened to Robert Downey, Jr? Man, he’s HOT! Whew! Mommy enjoyed all that was Iron Man as well!
