Blu-ray movie review of Pixar’s WALL E
November 22, 2008

Personally, I hate disaster movies such as The Day After Tomorrow. We get it. We ruined our planet. What will the penguins do? Give it a rest already. It's really tiring how Hollywood has taken this global warming and human excess to the extreme. It's trite and tiring at best. I avoid this type of movie like the plague. However, I loved Wall E. I can't help love the WALLE's determination and its display of what's best in humanity. Pixar is incapable of making a bad film it seems.
The story is about a robot assigned to clean up Earth long after humans have abandoned it due to pollution and over consumption. Combine this with global warming message and it seems like another cautionary tale. It is such tale but it is much more. It's about WALLE's struggle to find love. To find where he truely belong. One day a space ship arrives and drops of EVE. Eve's mission to search for a sign of life form on the planet. WALLE falls in love with EVE and follows her back to the main space ship. There, they struggle to convince the captain to return to Earth.
This movie cost around $180 million to make. And, there are virtually no dialogue. Imagine the cost if they had to hire bunch of actors to voice various characters. Even without dialogue, this movie works very well. WALLE and EVE convey every range of emotion. Sadness, happiness, fear, excitement, and any other emotion you can think of. They do it convincingly. I never thought movie could work with so little dialogue. Not in today's cinema. The director Andrew Stanton has done a great job. It must have been risky to pitch the idea of movie where there are so little dialogue.
As I've stated earlier, this movie does contain "save the earth" type of message. But, I think that just sets up a setting for the real story between WALLE and EVE. This is a love story. WALLE's determination to follow EVE and ultimately win her heart, or hard drive, not sure. Either way, this is a must watch movie of the year. The Blu-ray edition contain various extras including BD-LIVE content.
