Wall-E Directed by Andrew Stanton 27 June 2008 (USA) |
Light hearted semi-sci-fi that is really about human characters. Pixar actually make us feel the emotions from animated robots that do not speak; I did not anticipate that. This movie is surprisingly touching and entertaining.
The playwright did not even try to make it scientifically credible. If technologies exist to sustain a large vessel that carries a large population for 700 years, how did it ruin earth? If the vessel has the technologies to restore earth after 700 years (clearly without much innovations during those years), how did those people who had more resources 700 years ago failed?
But it is not for the engineers in you to watch. I enjoyed it and did not think about it too much after.
