Finally it has arrived they are calling it yet another gem from the Pixar Camp. But with all this rush to review the movie by the critics I just thought i will take my time with this one. The story is set 700 years after the humans have left the world for some greener place they want to destroy. They just leave these robots to clean the whole place up before they leave. No life seems to be growing in this world. So the story embarks on a journey of a Robot called Wall-E who seems to be totally oblivious of what he is capable of. Everyday he goes about doing his chores and exploring new things. Every sequence in this first half an hour is truly remarkable. It is totally silent and the camera just follows Wall-E around and this is really cinematic genius. But this sweet half an hour gets disrupted with the arrival of a Robot called EVVVVVAAAA. She seems to be on a mission to find life and destroy any robots that come in her way.

The story begins to change from the extraordinary to the cliched love story. This turn is nothing new from the Pixar camp. Whenever they promise us with something great they have to turn to Love. It will surely go against their morals to bring in something more than just a love story. But these two kindred robots are very interesting to watch. Their emotions are brought with such beautiful animations that it really makes us wonder where Pixar is going with Animation. They keep stepping the bar with visuals every time they come out with a movie. There is no denying the story comes with some interesting twists. They also give us a bleak view of how Global Warming will affect our planet? The film also breaks into greatness with some moments where Eva frantically searches for parts to fix Wall-E. The emotion shown in this almost reaches a human feeling of protection. The film does give us a lot of heart warming moments like this but it doesnt really melt us like their previous ventures. Maybe the reason for this is because of the lack of humans in this movie. This might sound a little puritan on my part but the reason i bring this observation is because of the fact that Pixar didnt really push themselves far enough with this story. The reason why this was a tough review to write it is really because of Pixar they really set a high bar for us critics. Finally just don’t miss the exceptional short film that comes with this one.
