Second Time Review: WALL*E

For me one of the marks of a truly good movie is when you can watch it over and over again without getting bored. Pixar films never disappoint in this category and WALL*E lived up to this standard as well. I saw WALL*E twice in the theater within a week, and both times I loved it. A lot of people complain that the plot, tone, feel, and just about everything changes between the first and second half of the film. But for me, this was appealing. I loved both parts of the movie and the very unique and touching story that occurs throughout its entirety.

One Paragraph Review: WALL*E

WALL*E is a clever, cute, funny and totally excellent movie from a studio that that consistently produces excellent films. WALL*E does so many things right that reviewing it really feels like a futile waste of effort. It will appeal to virtually everybody except only the most cantankerous, "too cool for this and that" curmudgeons (who find reasons not to like everything). Put down the weight of your life for two hours and prepare to be surprisingly moved by two animated robots with virtually no spoken lines.

One Paragraph Review: WALL*E

If you ever sift through the archives of Starlight Reviews you might think the write-ups on Pixar movies all look the same. I swear it's not our fault. These guys produce great stuff and Wall*E is no exception. Wall*E tells the (very original) story of the last robot on a desolate and ecologically-maligned planet Earth. Wall*E meets another robot and falls in love. A bunch of other stuff happens, but I'm not going to go into it because you just go see the movie. The jokes were supreme and animation well-crafted and interesting. I was pleasantly surprised at how sci-fi the movie was. Pixar keeps its golden streak alive by hitting another one out of the park. Really, the thing was just brilliant. A masterpiece of a story.
