Review: Wall-E

Rating: 4/4 stars

Wall-E is a delight. It’s about a little trash compactor robot that goes on a romantic journey. One of the best things about the film is the lack of dialogue. There will be long segments where all you hear our sounds. It’s just a great example of visual storytelling.

If you stay for the credits, you’ll be treated to a mini art history lesson epilogue followed by 8-bit renderings of the two main characters: Wall-E and Eve.

Go see it.

    I'm listening to a podcast w/ Andrew Stanton (writer and director of Wall-E). They studied all of Chaplin and Buster Keaton's shorts and features. It's amazing.

  • This is an amazing future classic movie. The lack of dialog was nearly unnoticeable -- I hear they studied Chaplin movies to carry across the gestures.

    Blu Ray purchase, Day One!
