The Wall-E Movie was awesome

Finallly, a graphics heavy movie that actually focuses on the stinkin’ story line. (Thank you, Pixar!)

Since moving to Spokane, I’ve seen more movies than I have seen in two or three years living in Spokane. I’m starting to figure out why I never watched too many movies before: Most of them were stupid. A lot of the newest movies I’ve seen confirmed that point for me: stupid.

But not Wall-E.

That movie was awesome. The graphics were awesome, the characters were awesome, and most importantly, the story was awesome. In typical Pixar fashion, the story is not compromised by the desire to have “flashy graphics” (ahem, here’s lookin’ at you Star Wars Ep I and II).

I love this movie to death. I never thought I could love a little trash compactor so much! The humanization of the robots in the story is spot-on perfect, so much so that you forget that you’re watching a completely CG character. Which, in my opinion, is the only viable option if you want me to actually like the movie.

Bring your kids, because it’s fun for the whole familia, without the unnecessary perversity and crudeness that plagues even kids movies these days.
