Last Thursday we went to see the latest Pixar movie, Wall-E. Ignoring the money we spent, it was a perfect evening.

With Wall-E, Pixar once again proved that they’re leading the animation industry. All the other film studios make animation movies like “a head character goes on a quest with his so-called friends; they have a few laughs, they have a few fights, and at the end everything turns out fine (mawkishly sentimental life lesson included)”. Well, that’s not the case with Wall-E.

The first hour of the movie tries to describe how Wall-E lives, how he feels, and what he does. I think there were like 10 spoken sentences and that was it! The silence included humour, sentiment and compassion (what I believe is a very difficult thing to do for a garbage-cleaning robot).

In the second hour we see how Wall-E tries to get over the (mostly bad) feelings he has. He meets Eve who he falls in love with and he begins his (not so corny) quest. The rest of his objective I’ll leave for you to see.

If you were waiting for a movie that is full of fun, passion, adventure, beauty, … in short, all the ingredients for a good movie, then you should see Wall-E… like… immediately!

One word: awesome.

Christopher Nolan and his cast succeed in bringing the old Batman alive. E.g. the villains don’t necessarily die at the end of the movie. But at the same time they succeed in drifting away from the old Batman series concept. E.g. the villains really are villains, so they are taken serious by the audience. Also, the story line isn’t predictable at all, which makes this movie a must-see!
