Great science fiction, excellent comedy, and probably the best animated family movie you’ll see this year. As is usual with most Pixar movies, WALL-E will grab you at the beginning and hold you until the end and, in the meantime, it will guide you through an incredibly sophisticated universe where each component has its place. Children will be thrilled, adults will be astonished by the incredible scenery (abandoned New York from I Am Legend gets nowhere near this) and those in between, maybe both.

I have to admit that the beginning was literally torture for me... so boring! But then we were transported aboard a ship with overweight... well, fat people. And that's where the movie kind of started for me. I most enjoyed sitting with the captain and his amazement. "What's a ball? What's a dance?" plus his first steps and the music.... this was just divine! :-) The ending is clear, Wall-E and the tough Eve end up together... "Children, you will grow plants of all kinds... pizza plants!" XoD this ending wasn't bad :-)

No. 5 is alive! And he still is, while his rust-bucket descendant, Wall-E, loses his life in the first half of this movie. This brutal murder was committed by the guys at Pixar because they were unable to come up with a sturdy storyline. Or that’s how I imagined things were after reading the reviews before watching. And fundamentally they are right. However, I didn’t mind at all, because those peepers with their constantly focusing lenses soon had me completely in their power. Too bad that the gala performance by the nicest animated character for the past several seasons is spoiled by the cursed human race. Paradoxically, Pixar gave the machines a soul, but not to people (I know that this was partially the intention, but still...). Inorganic beings in this movie are overflowing with feeling and spontaneity, while all organic forms are infuriating and deserve total eradication. Along with green activists. However, everywhere where the robots come out on top, a full set of stars isn’t enough, and, conversely, I would barely award three stars for the places where people make an appearance. Lucky that we see much more of robots in this movie.

Ideally great. Maybe it's not a thrill from start to finish, and definitely not a reliable emotional roller coaster like the immortal Finding Nemo. This time it's something completely different. While children, just like before, will say that it was really cool and they will want to take the main duo home in any version, this time the parents are not just smiling spectators, but comment on their experience with remarks like "This is how everything will end up anyway" and in their thoughts, they go all the way to R.U.R. And I quietly laugh to myself and say that it really was ideally great.

Perceiving WALL-E as just a pleasant fairy tale about robots in love is a bit misguided. Pixar has its stuff down to a science. The initial retro atmosphere, the work with film references, Newman's music, the fantastic visuals, and the admittedly primitive, yet incredibly energetic story, which doesn't sell its ecological message and criticism of consumerism as cheaply as it might seem, are proof of clever creative minds that are simply good at what they do, no matter what some of the stodgy scrooges around them think. Pixar films have a heart as big as the world economic crisis and I’m happy to be entertained and moved by them again and again.
