Last week I went to see Wall-E in my local cinema, I wanted to see it because I had heard such great reviews about it and I wanted to see for myself what all the fuss was about. I was quite impressed with the visual aspect of Wall-E, the colours were stunning, the lighting was excellent and Wall-E himself is an incredibly cute and well designed character. It's really very amazing the way that Wall-E, being a robot can express so much emotion through his movement and his eyes.
The first forty minutes of the movie are great, in which Wall-E is on earth all alone left there to clean up the planet as all of the humans have gone on a massive spaceship to escape the horror of what the earth has become. Unfortunately for Wall-E all of the other Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth- Class models have died and he is left completely alone, until he finds a cricket that he befriends. Wall-E has been carrying out his tedious work of condensing the rubbish and putting the blocks of condensed rubbish into organised piles for hundreds of years but he doesn't give up and if he finds anything of intrest he brings it back to his shed and adds it to his collection. Then Wall-E's world changes when a ship comes down to earth, carrying EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Examiner) who goes around earth searching for plant life. EVE meets with Wall-E and with this the story unfolds, giving Wall-E the task of saving the world.
The main action of the movie is pretty standard for a childrens movie and is what you'd expect from a movie like this so the plot is only average but Wall-E's likeability is outstanding. If you have kids I would highly recommend going to see Wall-E and don't be surprised if you're kids start asking for Wall-E merchandise! So in conclusion I would give this movie 3.75/5 so it's definetly worth a look, the visuals are the best part and the story is average (but not disappointing). Pixar have done an excellent job.
