Bravo Pixar! You basically appoint me with every movie. Wall-E is phenomenal. I would state that the first half of the movie before they go into space is significantly better (borderline cinematic wonder) than the second half. The plot surrounding the return of humans to Earth from the clutches of Automation is just not as truly and ineffably brilliant. However it does not detract from the film.
Without the clutter of excessive dialogue or need to drive a plot, Wall-E shines in subtle salute to humanity's past, present, and future. I like that Wall-E is a PC and EVE is a mac. I love the use of la vie en rose coupled with classic iconography and charlie chaplin schtick. One would not think robot silent film and physical comedy would pair so well, but they do.
Ratings:
Those that think different: See it
Those that think at all: See it
Those unsure of our destiny: See it
Hate the environment: Skip it
Hate Hello Dolly: Skip it
On a scale from Azimov to Herbert, I give Wall-E 4.1 out of 5 stars.
