Quick Movie Review: WALL●E

We went and saw WALL●E the other day, and I must say it was a really good movie. It was quite a pice of art. They somehow managed to give the little robot more character and personality with no speech, than most real life characters in movies have. There were some connections to real life as well. They hinted at destruction of Earth by man, that at this point is imminent. Being Pixar, they of course got some Apple product placement in there. There was an iPod that WALL●E had, and when WALL●E was done charging his solar cells, he made the epic Mac “bong” noise, a nice touch for sure. This movie is yet another huge success to add to Pixar’s list. If you are a fan of Pixar movies, this is a must. Even if you are not, it is still a must. I think it will appeal to the geeky audience as well, who are interested in space travel, robotics, and AI.

    I liked the movie especially the 1st part on Earth. I loved the Mac “boi-ng” noise too.

    What I did not like:
    1. The Fat people. 700 years and we ALL evolve into a bunch of lard asses? I understand the bone mass thing, but come-on.
    2. Not enough space travel to other places, galaxies, etc. I was hoping for a littlle bit of “The_Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”
