Wall-E

Wall-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth Class) may very well be Pixar's finest creation (in my humble opinion) . The film is primarily set on Earth, where the only lifeforms left are an adorable little rusty robot and his best buddy a cockroach who eats Twinkies. It is never quite explained how the evolution of Wall-E occurred, but somewhere in Wall-E's solitary existence he develops a personality, emotions and a sense of purpose. Overall he is guided by his mission to collect, compact and stack all of the trash left by humans and the big super mega store B&L (Buy and Large), but he enjoys his day, takes pleasure in finding new little treasures (i.e. a lighter), and the company of his cockroach friend.

Due to all of the waste, pollution, and toxins created by the residents of Earth, all humans were evacuated on to a space ship, the Axiom. On the Axiom no one ever has to do anything - everything is done for them by robots. At first the idea seems to be paradise, but as the story progresses, paradise it is not.

One day while Wall-E is out doing the job he is programmed for, compacting the trash, he has a visitor from out of the sky. Eve (Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) is a sleek droid like robot, sent out from the Axiom, whose mission is to scan Earth searching for signs of plant life. When Wall-E and Eve have their chance meeting, life for Wall-E as he knows it is changed forever.

Full of action, drama, romance, suspense and comedy, Wall-E is a brilliant film that not only entertains the viewer but also reminds us that we have to take care of the only home we know, Earth. Unlike other Pixar movies, this one may not appeal to the smallest of audience members. I guarantee the adults in the theatre definitely enjoyed the film more so than the kids.

Wall-E is absolutely a full screen, Dolby digital surround sound kind of movie. It is worth a full price movie ticket!
