<div class="IPBDescription">It's incredible.</div>Just go see it. I don't know how Pixar will be able to top this one. It took my breath away scene after scene. In some moments I started to tear up at the sheer lyrical beauty of it. I kid you not. Just go see it.

    Can we get a LITTLE more detail than "omfg fangasm"?

    I saw a presentation about it at NY Comic Con and decided I had to go see it then. It looks ridiculously awesome.

    Good movie, not as good as "The Incredibles"

    As you might guess there's minimal dialog and the artists were forced to be very creative with robotic body language and some vocalization.

    Isn't that how all of Pixar's stuff is? They lace it with grown-up fun so it's good for entire families.

    I have seen it, and it is wonderful. It's got Space Odyssey references too. The part when the ship lists to the side was hilarious.

    Pixar has managed to hold their place as the only studio to never make a film I don't enjoy greatly.

    It takes place 1000 years after armageddon, and it stars an adorable robot. It's also <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wall_e/" target="_blank">incredible</a>. Go see it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Well, the trailer's certainly cute.

    Just to add my little 2¢ about what makes it so good . . .

    I think the most incredible thing about it is how perfectly it nails the tone. It's a post apocalyptic movie in which the earth is uninhabitable and the remaining humans are sluglike consumerist caricatures living out their days in space, but the movie treats the subject with such tenderness that it's never vindictive or off-putting. The humans aren't evil or stupid, they're just innocent, naive. Wall-E is a bit of a packrat, collecting all of the human artifacts that he thinks are neat, and the simple joy he takes in an egg-beater or a rubik's cube softens the scene perfectly. In spite of the fact that the entire planet is overrun by our junk, a lot of the junk is really cool. It's these touches that make it an honest look at humanity instead of a diatribe.

    I should add though, that these exquisite bits are just a backdrop for the love story, which is even better.

    I thought it looked hella lame in the previews, but then I saw the reviews so I saw it. I laughed. I cried. I laughed some more. A++ would watch again. who would have thought they could do so much with so little.

    I made my mind up to go see it the instant I saw the bit in the trailer where he gets knocked over by using a fire extinguisher. I don't quite know what it is about that little bit but it looks amazing to me. Have they followed the usual Pixar thing of making a separate and independent trailer/preview for the film, or is it a collection of clips from the film?

    And I agree with Boojum. I've loved every Pixar film so far (although Finding Nemo is my least favourite). Shame it doesn't get released in the UK until 18th July <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    Huh? You must be drunk. This film is much much better than The Incredibles.
    Near the ending, at one scene, the entire theatre was holding their breath and collectively sighing in relief at the fate of the robot, a freaking robot, I knew Pixar did it again.

    Hopefully those who see this will get the message and make more of a conscious effort to think and act green, and also not maintain a sedentary lifestyle, lest they wind up like those "lost in space".

    Great movie!

    <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>Of course the interesting side to this whole situation was that they obviously had a sustainable method of living right there on the ship. (one must wonder where they obtained the mass to replace all that stuff they threw out into space though). Though generation of the sedentary life style was the lack of need to do anything to sustain their own lives. Wasn't the number one killer retirement?</span>

    That sums it up for me as well. Beautifully crafted movie!

    Just saw it. Great stuff. Still doesn't beat <i>Ratatouille</i> in my view but then again, what can? Wall-E is the coolest robot since R2-D2 (same guy did the voice, by the way) and the film really nailed the message/atmosphere. And the short film before the movie was absolutely spectacular too.

    I just heard it's a good movie if you wanted to get your P----- wet. lol

    And I laughed because it is true, though I've never seen it.


    Spoiler Alert:
    The main robot dies later after the credits from electro gonherea, the noisy killer. (lol futurama)

    haha sorry, had to add in something stupid. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
