Wall-E
Our story takes place 700 years into the future. We see, what appears to be, New York covered in garbage and no humans to be found anywhere. We meet our main character, Wall-E (Ben Burtt), a robot that was made to clean up the garbage. He's part of other Wall-E robots, but this one appears to be the last one working. Wall-E appears to use the garbage to make buildings or other things with it. After work, he goes home with his pet cockroach. The next day, Wall-E goes and does his job as normal. Towards the end, he opens a refrigerator that contains a plant. Wall-E decides to take this home, as he does with other pieces of garbage that he finds interesting. When he goes home, he notices a red dot that's moving on the ground and decides to chase it. Once he thinks he has it, he looks up to see a rocket is landing. When it lands, it releases another, more sleek, robot that Wall-E decides to follow. After stalking it for a while, Wall-E eventually gets to introduce himself to it. We find out that its name is Eve (Elissa Knight). She won't reveal what she's here for, but Wall-E is fascinated by her. So he takes her back to his place and shows her some things in his collection. Eventually, he shows her the plant, which she takes and shuts down. Wall-E decides to stop doing his job and focus on powering her back up. He tries for days, but fails. Eventually, the rocket comes back and retrieves Eve. Wall-E hitches a ride so that he can be with her. Eventually, they make it to the Axiom, a giant passenger space ship. Here, Wall-E does everything he can to get to Eve. She's taken to the ship's captain (Jeff Garlin) and the autopilot, Auto (MaclnTalk). They check Eve, but discover that the plant is gone. So now it's up to Wall-E and Eve to find the plant so that everyone can go home.
The characters here are all amazing. From Wall-E to the minor characters like John (John Ratzenberger) and Mary (Kathy Najimy), they're all fascinating. Wall-E and Eve don't speak much and only say a few words, but repeat those words throughout the movie. Wall-E, in particular, has so much child-like innocence about him that makes him so adorable. The scenery is so magical and beautiful. Even the garbage Earth is amazing to look at. The buildings are made of garbage and every detail of that garbage is put in. There's one scene in particular that stands out. Later on in the film, Wall-E and Eve have this dance sequence in space. During this dance sequence, the scenery comes to life and adds so much atmosphere to this scene and makes it one of the most memorable scenes from the entire movie. As for the social commentary behind the film, they're put together nicely. The movie tries to show that we need to recycle to keep Earth able to sustain life and that technology is making us lazy and fat, due to the convenience it gives us. Neither are too in your face. They're perfectly placed so that kids can learn from it. And for those of you that play older video games, you may notice that Wall-E's job is a lot like an old video game character on the Sega Genesis known as Vectorman.
There's not much bad here. The only problem I could think of would be a lack of explanation for what happened to the other Wall-Es. You just see them dead on the streets. Did all of their batteries die and our Wall-E is the only smart one? Or did the air become too poisonous for even robots? Who knows.
So should you see this movie? Absolutely. Wall-E is one of the most adorable films starring one of the most adorable robots I've ever seen. This is one film that has to be seen either on the big screen or on a big wide screen television. Bigger screens really bring the film's scenery to life and helps the mood of the movie.
