Better Late Than Never: Wall-E

Pixar is amazing. In the words of one of my good friends, the people at Pixar are geniuses. We meet our friend Wall-E in the beginning of the film (he is one of the last of his kind and is cleaning the Earth, all humans live on a space cruise ship) doing what he does best, make garbage cubes. He has a roach buddy to keep him company (SPOILER, the roach can't die...it gets kinda ridiculous and funny) and his old school romance movies and songs. Earth is definitely a garbage dump (thanks to Buy N Large, or Wal-mart...) and incapable of supporting life (or so we think). Wall-E can't speak (well, can't speak well) and has tons of little gimmicks and hilarious traits. Without giving away too much, Wall-E meets Eve and falls head over heels. Eve is on a mission ('directive!'), but gives Wall-E some attention (a little too much at times). Eve obtains her objective and goes into sleep mode to wait for her ship. Wall-E takes sleep Eve on dates and performs acts of chivalry.

Eventually Wall-E stows away on the ship that is taking Eve back to the main cruise ship with all the humans. These humans are not your normal human beings. They are fat, dumb, and boneless (almost anyway). Anyway, hilarity and 'robot romance' ensues and you begin to feel for the robots as living creatures. I couldn't believe how good this movie turned out to be. It was great. And Wall-E is the MAN! If you have kids, let them watch it. If you are an adult that is single, watch it. If you have no interest in kid's films, watch it. Everyone should watch this movie. EVERYONE should watch this movie. EVERYONE should watch THIS movie!

LMBO! Yes I love love love this movie. The first time I watched it I saw it 3 times in a row. The plot was definitely amazing and makes you think. Without being overly extra the storyline said just enough to get it's point accross. :)
