Wall-E

So I finally made it out to see Wall-E, Pixar's newest gem of a movie. This movie follows the adventures of a robot named Wall-E whose sole purpose is to clean up the trash on Earth that's left after its inhabitants decide to relocate to outer space. Needless to say its a big job as the earth is pretty trashed. Years after humans have left Wall-E is the only one of the robots left on earth. He has developed a personality as well as a unique curiosity for human life. This has also left him rather lonely (although he does share the company of a rather friendly cockroach). Wall-E's life changes one day when a shape comes to Earth bringing with it a high-tech robot named Eve. Eve's purpose for going to earth is revealed through the plot so i do not wish to give it away, needless to say it is quite complicated as you find out later on in the movie. Wall-E falls hard for this new robot, and in turn Eve also grows fond of Wall-E. Problems arise when Eve must return to the spacestation in which earth's inhabitants now call home. Not knowing what to do, and not wishing to be alone again, Wall-E follows Eve to the spacestation. After years of complete and utter vegetation in space the human race is shown as quite pitiful. Fat, lazy, and with minimal human contact, humans are quite a disgrace. When Wall-E boards the space craft, chaos breaks lose and human kind once again starts to realize there is more to life than just absolute satisfaction.

Needless to say I highly recommend this movie. The animation was extremely well done and the plot was simply fantastic, with a great message behind it. One of my favorite scenes in the movie (as I had just come out of work) was when they showed the robot psychiatric ward of the ship...absolutely terrific, make sure to watch for it! The love story between Eve and Wall-E was heartbreakingly beautiful and Pixar did a great job of conveying human emotions in the robots. This is a definite must see!
