AMAZING. There were parts which i could swear to you were shot in meatspace or with animatronics as opposed to CGI. and no, i'm not referring to the OBVIOUSLY live action parts.

But I'm a bit of a liberal hippy idiot so it probably would have taken someone yelling "POLLUTION BAD!" for me to think it was too much.

We caught it Saturday night at a surprisingly under-filled 7pm showing. Quite liked it, definite purchase when it's released. One thing that I found amusing is that the DVD crew was credited. I tend towards Garth's comment, I think the environmental message was a bit heavier than Jamie's perception. I'm not saying that's bad, in some ways it becomes more frighteningly realistic. Definitely recommended. Definitely an excellent movie. We caught it Saturday night at a surprisingly under-filled 7pm showing. Quite liked it, definite purchase when it’s released.

The "fairly heavy environmental message" was far heavier than I felt it should have been. There were several points in the movie where I felt slapped with the message of environmentalism. I don't disagree with the message. But I do felt it was heavy handed at times. Granted, I don't know how you would tell this particular story any other way, so I can't complain. But to me, it felt a lot like Fern Gully in space. A wonderful, beautiful, touching Fern Gully in Space.

I will add on that this is now my favorite movie. It blew away even my expectations and I would gladly pay any sum to see this movie again. I didn’t think I would already have seen/played something that managed to do it, but I give this [...] […] Well, I was going to write an awesome review for this movie, but Jami managed to do a pretty darn good job already, so I will let that be the bulk of it.

This managed to make it to the top of my favorite movies list, and I realized that only halfway through the movie. Awesome.

But it's no small wonder that these robots were able to convey such emotion, seeing as how Ben (I made a walking trashcan named r2-d2 in a tiny indie movie named Star Wars have tons of personality) Burtt handled sound design for Wall-E. Probably the best Pixar movie to date, JUST edging out Incredibles... barely. I concur wholeheartedly…

(You knew I was going to post that.) Seriously, what an amazing, joy of a film to experience. The DVD/Blu Ray cannot come soon enough. Agreed, agreed, agreed!
