Nice animation, nice story, and nice characters (esp. Wall-E) Naman, bakit walang pumapansin dito?
Instead of telling you what this film's story is, I rather post here what critics say about Pixar's 9th film:
Quote:
Reception
WALL-E received near-universal acclaim from film critics. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 97% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based upon a sample of 200 reviews, with an average rating of 8.6/10. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score of 93, based on 39 reviews.
Todd McCarthy of Variety called the film "Pixar's ninth consecutive wonder", saying it was imaginative yet straightforward. Citing WALL-E's "adroit" borrowing from other works, McCarthy said it pushed the boundaries of animation in managing to balance esoteric ideas with more immediately accessible ones, and that the main difference between the film and other science fiction projects rooted in an apocalypse was its optimism. McCarthy also had praise for Thomas Newman's musical score and the visuals, for which he cited cinematographer Roger Deakins' input as a visual consultant as a possible factor.
Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter declared that WALL-E surpassed the achievements of Pixar's previous eight features, saying that the film had the "heart, soul, spirit and romance" of the best silent films. He said that the filmmakers managed to tell a terrific story through visual and aural ideas which enabled the robotic characters to convey "a rainbow of emotions". He said the visuals were arguably Pixar's best and praised the creation of a ruined Earth city and a human spaceship as "fantastically imaginative". Honeycutt said the film's definitive stroke of brilliance was in using a mix of archive film footage and computer graphics to trigger WALL-E's romantic leanings. He praised Burtt's sound design, saying "If there is such a thing as an aural sleight of hand, this is it". Honeycutt concluded by saying that despite the film's acknowledged nods to other works (2001: A Space Odyssey, and moments where robots "run riot" bringing to mind Monsters, Inc.), WALL-E could be Pixar's most original work to date.
Roger Ebert writing in the Chicago Sun-Times said WALL-E succeeded in three areas: as "an enthralling animated film, a visual wonderment, and a decent science-fiction story". Ebert said the scarcity of dialogue would allow it to "cross language barriers" in a manner appropriate to the global theme, and he had praise for the visual effects, saying the color palette was "bright and cheerful... and a little bit realistic". He cited early Disney animations that successfully translated human expressions onto non-human characters as an influence on the title character. He said the film managed to generate a "curious" regard for the WALL-E, comparing his design ("rusty and hard-working and plucky") favorably to more obvious attempts at creating "lovable" lead characters. Ebert called the storytelling "enchanting" and said the film could be enjoyed by adults and children alike. He said WALL-E was concerned with ideas rather than spectacle, saying it may require "a little thought" on the part of the audience, and that this could be particularly stimulating to younger viewers.

i just watch this movie kaninang umaga.. nakakalungkot kung ganyan ang mangyayari sa earth.. at lalo na kung lahat ng tao eh ganun kataba dahil sa hindi na sila gumagawa ng normal na gawain dahil nakasakay na lang sila sa isang robot chair yata un na pwede na nila gawin lahat ng gusto nila with just 1 click..
This movie is satire. Thinly disguised satire. In fact, the conspiracy theorist in me has a hunch WALL-E aims at WalMart what Supersize Me aimed at McDonald's. That vast expanse of mega shopping mall? What else could it refer to but the never-ending aisles of WalMart? And why WalMart, you say? Because it is the stronghold of American consumerism, churning out entities breathing styrofoam and plastic bags just as McDonald's is helping foster a society of superobese men and women with the fastfood's mouth-watering menu for self-destruction. It is not entirely impossible that a time would come when we have so thoroughly rendered ourselves useless that we all have to rely on intelligent machines to help us with activities as basic as brushing our teeth.
Anyway, it's been ages since I heard a lecture on environmentalism. And I certainly wasn't expecting it to come from a robot in an animated film.
