Original Movie Reviews, Movie Trailers & So Much More!

Personally, whenever I see Pixar in the credits, I know it’s gonna be a good movie. They’ve created some amazing animation so far and their work is always beautiful and entertaining. You can imagine I had high expectations again.

We like to discuss about saving Planet Earth and curbing pollution. Well in this story, we’ve already lost the battle. Planet Earth is just a huge pile of junk, while the few humans who survived are floating on a space ship, waiting to find some place to destroy inhabit. 700 years in the future, the only living forms are solar-power robots and some crickets. WALL-E spends his time scooping up trash, shoveling it into his belly, compressing it into a square and making skyscrapers of these “cubes”.

When his working day is done, the robot comes home, where he stores the latest treasures he found that day. Then he puts himself in the “sleeping” position and gets into “power saving mode”.

All this routine is ruined, when some white round robot comes in the area to look for probes. Once the treasure is found (a perfect green plant, that would help re-populating Earth one day), the white thing goes back to the mother ship (Axiom), where people have indulged in a sedentary lifestyle, thus transforming in fat out of shape creatures. And they are the future, oh yeah.

Far from me to spoil it for you, so I’ll stop my story here. Will just mention the great 3D work Pixar have gotten us accustomed with, excellent story-line and cute to die for characters. The movie is absolutely adorable, such as the robot who finds himself in love. If you haven’t seen it, you can surely schedule 1 hour and a half. The movie is more than suitable for kids as for adults, so you can share the movie night with your little ones too.
