Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Never just a kid's movie Comment: Wall*E was never just a kid's movie. It's got your requisite cute, starring characters and supporting cast, but it's more than that. Much more. This is one of PIXAR's best and brightest stories and visual accomplishments. The story starts with what seems like a simple little robot working to clean up the mess left on Earth. Grabbing garbage, pulling it inside, compacting it into a small cube then stacking it neatly. As the day moves on, you can see this has been going on for a long time. Piles higher than skyscrapers line the streets, each with neatly stacked cubes of trash. Wall*E is really the only thing you see moving around doing anything; his companion is a happy little roach, cheerfully watching and following Wall*E around. Every so often Wall*E finds something and puts it to the side. When he goes home to his storage trailer, he does things that any of us would do: taking off his 'shoes', turning on the lights and turning on his 'TV', a video iPod with magnifying screen. Soon, you can see why he's left alone: all the others units have stopped working. You can get a real sense that Wall*E is the only thing left. And all he wants is someone to be with, just like in the movie he watches and listens to while working, someone to hold hands with. A really cute and endearing theme that stays through the movie. Soon, the arrival of EVE, a slick, hovering robot with a mission arrives. Wall*E soon is fascinated by EVE and they eventually begin to find each other as friends. When Wall*E gives EVE a present he'd found earlier, it triggers her main directive and original reason to be on Earth. When EVE is forced to leave, Wall*E has to follow her. EVE goes home to the star liner that left Earth long ago. There you see where everyone from Earth went; to a simple life filled with automated everything. This is where the supporting characters find their way into Wall*E and EVE's path, a bunch of misfits and malfunctioning robots, all trying to help EVE and Wall*E fulfill her directive. Here, you also get the first real look at what life without any kind work has done to the human population. EVE's directive pushes the story along to find the main antagonist who's kept the humans on the star liner and plans to keep them there no matter what. From here, the race is on to show both EVE and Wall*E's humanity. EVE wants to do what her directive tells her to, but doesn't want to hurt Wall*E. Wall*E just wants to be with EVE and help her any way he can. The whole time I watched this movie, I'm rooting for Wall*E to just keep working his way along, getting a simple pleasure of out watching him do what he does: collect things, spending time with his pet and even dance. Then when EVE shows up, it's like watching the awkward boy try and meet the popular girl. You want them to be together because he deserves it, it's all he wants anymore and helping her makes him happy. I'll also admit I choked up a few times when some events happened. The characters had hooked me pretty hard. I didn't want bad things to happen to Wall*E; I didn't like it when they did. The way the story is made, you feel for Wall*E. They did well in getting the characters just right so that you can and should connect with them earlier and often. Once you start to really look at Wall*E and the rest of the robotic crew, I stopped thinking of them as animated cartoons and as real as any regular movie. The animators were so detailed many times I couldn't think of what I was watching as anything but real. For example, there's many shots of Wall*E's three fingered hands. Taking a close look you can see the weathered, scraped, dinged and scratched fingers of someone who's put in a lot of hard work. Then you look at EVE's smooth, almost silky white fingers and you could almost reach out and touch them both. All in all, I'd recommend this movie for anyone for anytime they want an excellent story with great characters. Of the added extras, the best one was the PIXAR short: Presto. Simple and short and full of comedy. It's the story of a magician with two real magic hats. The first is the top hat, the second is a magician's conical hat. The magician has one assistant, Alec, a hungry bunny. All he wants is his carrot. Without the carrot, he uses the hat combo to keep the magician from simply pulling a rabbit from his hat. The entire time, Alec uses everything around to humiliate (in true comic form) the magician while on stage to the roars of laughter from the crowd. Customer Rating: Summary: This is NOT the greatest animated movie... it's boring Comment: Wall-e is a very weak movie. The plot is extremely thin, the characters (human or otherwise) are forgettable and, worst of all, it's boring. I can't see why people are calling it the best animated movie of all time. It doesn't work for adults because its plot is so childish and feeble, and it doesn't work for kids because it's just plain average. The proof is in the repeated viewing. My kids will (and indeed have) watch Toy Story, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, etc again and again and again. I can happily watch them again and again! They never get bored with those movies and they want a Buzz doll, a cuddly Nemo, the book of Monsters Inc... they just can't get enough. But they watched Wall-e once and maybe a half times more and that was it. No more interest. Back to Buzz and Woody and Sully and Crush. Let's just hope Pixar's next offering is better. Customer Rating: Summary: Bad DVDs / Not compatible with all DVD players Comment: The movie is good, but the DVD has problems. VLC on a PC can't play it on my Vista based PC. My Samsung HD931 can play the bonus features but not the movie. The same for my XP-based PC (WMP - I'm not sure what DVD decoder). It does work with the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD player application. Customer Rating: Summary: Timeless Comment: This is a truly exceptional film both for its technical accomplishments, as well as for a story that is truly prescient. This film has all of the makings of a classic and I am quite confident it will be remembered as such. Customer Rating: Summary: great movie Comment: This is a great movie. It is cute & is for all ages. I bought it for myself but will let my grandson watch it. I do want to watch it again. Wall-e is the last robot on earth & his job is to collect trash. And there is plenty. He eat's it then spits it out in a square. His only friend is a bug. But they stay togther always. Then he goes to a cruise liner that floats in the sky. they don't want him there so they go after him. More Reviews
