DVD Reviews of Wall-E ( Single-Disc Edition)
DVD Review: Wall-e is an exceptional movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Wall-e is for anyone. If you haven't seen it, buy it and you'll be glad you did. It is a very relevant movie for today, but it is also timeless.DVD Review: 2001 Revisted.
Summary: 3 Stars
Wall-E is a cute flick but I think kids would have a difficult time following the storyline but maybe this film is for an older crowd. Wall-E is charming but I kind of lost interest halfway through, maybe I am not intelluctual enough or something. This animated film is a mixed bag for me.DVD Review: Absolutely Stunning B-D Visuals & Audio
Summary: 5 Stars
Boy, the visuals were as stunning as I had read they were; absolutely spectacular. I hate to use this clich?, but this is a "must" for Blu-Ray fans. You have to see - and hear - this film in HD because it is a great treat for your senses. The surround sounds are everywhere while the colors and artwork are something to behold! And, yes - it's still very pretty on a regular DVD, too.
The story is "cute," but nowhere near the visuals and audio. It's okay, subtlety humorous, dramatic and romantic parts. It gets a tiny bit preachy with the usual environmental digs and a comment about how fat we humans can get by lying around too much, but otherwise just plays it for comedy and cool-looking characters. Everyone and everything in this film is pretty amazing-looking.
It's kind of a strange story, with much of it taking place on a big space ship. My favorite parts were in the beginning on Earth with the little robot WALL-E and his cockroach friend.
There is so much to see in this film, it makes multiple viewings all the more attractive but, I'll assume, you're always going to catch some things you didn't see the first few times.
DVD Review: Robot Love with a Serious Adult Message
Summary: 5 Stars
Wall-E is a love story of a dirty diractive robot named Wall-E and a sleeker, fancier robot named Eve. Wall-E's only function is to pick up trash on a future earth that has been damaged and contaminated so badly that humans have evacuated to an outerspace utopia to wait for the Earth to be decontaminated, Wall-E has a pet cockroach for crying out loud. By his nature, Wall-E is a curious thing and is attracted instantly to Eve because of her sleek and mysterious ways. Together, they mount a quest to show the captain of the space habitat that life can now be sustained on Earth and face a number of challenges including an army of robot police enlisted by a robot population that has no desire to return home and years of built up human apathy.
Beneath the children's feel good message though, are serious adult undertones. On the ship where the Earth's residents are being housed, they have become obese pigs because everything is handed directly to them, they hardly ever have to get up to exercise or any other physical activity and have virtual entertainment activities pumped to them through simulated screens. This could be easily read as a commentary or at the very least a parallel to modern American society.
DVD Review: A deeply thoughtful and meaningful story. A real landmark. Remindes me of the book Brave New World by Huxley.
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented WALL*E because it looked like a fun bit of comedy and with well done animation--and it's all that as well--but ended up absolutely amazed at how meaningful and significant the story is.
No spoilers here, but at first I thought it was about a robot that, because he is a complex system and had been left running indefinitely, had developed human-like intelligence and personality, but as the movie progressed I found this increadibly deep story to be more on the level of social satire or philosophy.
Though I'm tempted to say more about the 'life' of the robots versus the humans at this point, as promised, I will not spoil it since I enjoyed the unfolding of the details while watching it for the first time.
I'm not saying this because I'm an overeducated geek who looks for deep meaning where there is none; in fact I rented this film just for good old fashion dumb entertainment; but I wouldn't be writing one of my few-and-far-between movie reviews if I didn't think the film was brilliant.
There's just enough actual dialogue to keep it from becoming some kind of esoteric film, and yet kids and girlfriends alike will love it because the story is romantic and cute.
BOTTOM LINE: Both graphically and in terms of story line, WALL*E is elegant without having gone off the deep end so that you no longer feel like you're watching an animated comedy feature but being schooled instead. This is neither a graphic masterpiece or something that will be up for a Nobel Prize, but if you want to expose both yourself and your children to something both entertaining and thought provoking, this is an excellent choice.
Again, I was absolutely shocked at how great and deeply meaningful this film turned out to be, and I'll be purchasing it for my collection so I can watch it over and over again.

Pixar genius reigns in this funny romantic comedy, which stars a robot who says absolutely nothing for a full 25 minutes yet somehow completely transfixes and endears himself to the audience within the first few minutes of the film. As the last robot left on earth, Wall-E (voiced by Ben Burtt) is one small robot--with a big, big heart--who holds the future of earth and mankind squarely in the palm of his metal hand. He's outlasted all the "Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class" robots that were assigned some 700 years ago to clean up the environmental mess that man made of earth while man vacationed aboard the luxury spaceship Axiom. Wall-E has dutifully gone about his job compacting trash, the extreme solitude broken only by his pet cockroach, but he's developed some oddly human habits and ideas. When the Axiom sends its regularly scheduled robotic EVE probe (Elissa Knight) to earth, Wall-E is instantly smitten and proceeds to try to impress EVE with his collection of human memorabilia. EVE's directive compels her to bring Wall-E's newly collected plant sprout to the captain of the Axiom and Wall-E follows in hot pursuit. Suddenly, the human world is turned upside down and the Captain (Jeff Garlin) joins forces with Wall-E and a cast of other misfit robots to lead the now lethargic people back home to earth. Wall-E is a great family film with the most impressive aspect being the depth of emotion conveyed by a simple robot--a machine typically considered devoid of emotion, but made so absolutely touching by the magic of Pixar animation. Also well-worth admiring are the sweeping views from space, the creative yet disturbing vision of what strange luxuries a future space vacation might offer, and the innovative use of trash in a future cityscape. Underneath the slapstick comedy and touching love story is a poignant message about the folly of human greed and its potential effects on earth and the entire human race. Wall-E is preceded in theaters by the comical short Presto in which a magician's rabbit, unfed one too many times takes his revenge against the egotistical magician.
