I just came back from watching Wall*E at the theater and I feel like a little kid trying to tell his friends that what he just saw was awesome and that they should believe him because if they don't then they will be gay... Wait, maybe my comparison doesn't hold up that well.
Anyway...
Back to the movie. I'm not gonna get into a plot description because I'm sure you guys already know what the movie is about. I'm just going to say that this film is Pixar's best outing yet, a great hard Sci-Fi film to boot, and an amazing family film with an important message for the all the little kids out there(and some adults too).
As I watched the film, all the while keeping a big smirk on my face, I let myself go from the reality of the world, ignoring the overly loud family behind me making oohs and aahhs at the screen, and just living with the little doe-eyed robot and the sleek little, almost suppositorial(wow, a suppository reference in a kid's film review) looking, EVE and just forgetting that I was watching a computer animated film. It is beautiful.
Any of you seen it theaters? Waiting for the DVD? Agree with me or disagree?
Your comments are appreciated.
Yeah, I’ve been trying to convince my friends for years of the merits of Disney/Pixar movies. But you know what? I’m done. Fuck it. After seeing the on-screen brilliance that was WALL•E, I’ve just decided that it’s their loss. The genius of the film is that it makes you feel like a kid, but it also has some very deep, subtle social commentary on the state of our civilization, including our wasteful consumerism. 11/10...but for cereal.
I was about to say, that was definitely NOT subtle. Especially considering that SPOILER!the entire planet of overweight people gasped when the Captain stood to Also Sprach Zarathusra.SPOILER!
I loved it. I've been in love with Pixar/Disney films since I was a kid. I have seen almost all of them when they come out in theatres. Definately on my Blu-Ray list. :D

about me
WARNING:The following description makes liberal use of the little ( ) symbols, so deal with it.
Sup dudes, I have an Xbox 360 (request me, I need friends... sadness...). I love old school games(Pac-Man, Galaga, Super Mario World, Streets of Rage, you get the idea.) I also harbor a love for the more modern(Resident Evil 4(die zombie bitches!!!!), HALO(YES I AM A NERD), Beyond Good and Evil(a true masterpiece), Mass Effect, Bioshock, Call of Duty 2 & 4.
I have an Xbox 360, although I suck at achievements.
I have a Gamecube, which pretty much left me in the dark of modern gaming a couple of years back, a Playstation with a large collection of RPG's, which I have come to despise, a Nintendo 64 which I never really played, damn Playstation taking up most of my playtime, and a still(somehow) fully functioning Super Nintendo & boy do I love that thing...
I attend high school in LA, shout out to my peeps!(not really)
I love indie music, makes me feel sort of crass and snotty though...Although I've recently acquired a taste for classic punk music and underground hip-hop(weird I know).
Oh, and I like stamp collecting and taking long strolls down the beach...

SO FUCKING GOOD
This is the film that will push my family into buying a Blu_Ray player.
Ironically enough, EVE was designed by Jonathan Ive, the head Apple designer.
I thought it worked on every level. It made me feel like a kid again.
I'm curious about checking out the game even though I don't have high hopes. It seems like it would be fun to tool around as Wall*E and Eve.

I want to see this movie soooo bad. WAAAAAALLLLEEEE
I want to see it too.>.< Especially since Wall E's design was taken from the robot in <i>Short Circuit</i>.
You show 'em Samit.
@Samit
I liked WALL•E too but the social commentary was far from subtle.

"What's a plant?"
It was an amazing movie, incredible that a little CGI robot was so expressive.
Best outing from Pixar yet, its gonna take a lot for them to top that.
Done and done. It was a fantastic film.
Seeing it tomorrow with friends and girl friend. I heard the first half of the movie is like a Chaplin movie, all silent but funny humor.
Fair enough. But the political commentary (in the form of Fred Willard as the dying planet’s president) was subtle (“stay the course,” etc.).
