The latest accomplishment of Disney's Pixar studios, Wall-E was again on my list of must-watch; me being the typical Disney fan.Initially I was rather distracted by the notion of the movie which centered on the story of the recycling robot machine and it made me think of the interesting points which can make a 2-hour movie out of this.**Yeah, I am not exactly a big fan of sci-fi and robot-ralated stuffs**
However, I still decide to watch it despite the ringing doubt in my mind and I can tell you, I was once again impressed by the whole movie.(Disney never disappoint me once!)I am not going to write a whole long review of the movie; it is boring to some and length to the rest. So I will put up a short review of the movie and what I thought of the movie (be prepared for a positive note though!;)It has a really simple storyline; and it started off with a view of the earth which was set in a yellow brownish atmosphere.
There was no living being in sight; except for a running cockcroach and the magnetic sound of this working robot which collects trash and compresses them into a compact form to be used for recycling.Wall-E was the only one left in existence and he constantly needs to recharge himself using the strong solar energy.(Really realistic with a futuristic twist)
He soon realized he was not alone when another robot arrived in a huge spaceship and was intent on destruction by shooting laser at everywhere it goes.
Known as Eve, Wall-E soon made friends with this robot who seemed to be searching for something in particular with directive from her superior and was suspicious at almost everything.When Wall-E found a plant which he believed can cheer Eve, he was shocked to see the blinking excitement in robot Eve and she became motionless. Wall-E was depressed when he could not revive Eve. By the way, Wall-E had developed strong feelings for Eve and longed for a simple hold of her robotic hand.
(This part did baffle me when robots can have feelings for each other...haha...but I accepted it since this is a Disney animation anyway)
Anyway the story continues when Wall-E, in a desperate attempt to rescue Eve found himself transported to outer space in the spaceship and found that the planet there was inhabited by human beings.Correction: lazy and overweight human beings who indulged themselves in organized and pre-programmed activities everyday and also staring at a flat screen each day for communication.Futuristic idea!In fact, the human beings there were there due to the unlivable condition of planet Earth which was piled with trash.Eve's task was to search for a living being to ascertain whether the Earth is still livable. The plant was the sign and this created havoc among the robotic beings/outer beings with human when the humans revolt and wanted to return to earth which was disapproved by the robots.It was an interesting quest and how human beings started fighting for their own rights.Of course, being a Disney movie, it ended on a happy note!I loved the idea of this movie as it really was educational in the sense that the producers were trying to send across the message of the importance of recycling and the unity of people in protecting the planet earth in times of rapid development progress.I really liked it and I think children and adults alike should give this movie a go to educate themselves on the invasion of technology and development and the effects in the future.Again, a BIG applause to Disney and Pixar and thumbs up!!Rating: 4.5 out of 5
