My wife, son and I went to see WALL-E today. It was an early screening, 11:45, and there were only several people in the theater. They fed us all kinds of stupid ads and trailers and what-not for the first 35 minutes. And then the magic started.
If you haven’t seen the movie, go and see it now. It is the best movie I have seen lately, and one of the best I’ve seen ever (if not the very best). There are several trailers available.
I must be getting old and sentimental—I nearly wept many times through the film. It felt so good. WALL-E is a fantastic and amazing movie.
There are many heart-warming scenes in WALL-E. One of the best, in my opinion, was when Eve was reviewing her (its?) security camera footage and saw how WALL-E took care of her while she was on stand-by. Another one was when she thought WALL-E had exploded together with his rescue ship.
There were some good gags, too—like the sound WALL-E emitted when fully charged with his (its?) solar panels, which is the Mac start-up chime. The repair department for robots, which was like an insane asylum with all kinds of crazy (broken) machinery isolated in cells.
There is a happy end, too. No nasty surprises. I’m a bit tired of my life presenting me with all kinds of nasty surprises, and to not get any in such a good movie felt good.
We sat through the credits and were the last to leave the theater. The credits are a piece of work, too—I advise you not to leave early and watch them to the end.
People of Pixar, I salute you. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
