a quick movie review
July 5, 2008
Necessary preface: No, this is not a glimpse into my city. :)
See Wall-E. See it!
Three measly pieces of information–that it was a Disney-Pixar film, that it was about a robot, and that it was highly, highly reviewed led Pete and me to choose to see Wall-E last night. We don’t have a TV, so we hadn’t seen the trailer. We also heard that Get Smart was only okay (despite the novelty of it being filmed in Montreal and having Steve Carrell in it), and all the other films playing looked dismal. So we walked in fairly clueless.
It’s a delightful film. It’s artistic, hilarious, thoughtful, and even carries a hopeful and conscience-filled message, which is shocking because there’s not a ton of dialogue.
The Pixar digital short prelude made me laugh so hard that I cried. Certain moments of the film did the same.
It’s worth a look. Seriously.
