Blu-Ray Disc - Wall-E
January 14th 2009 00:01
Now I avoided the whole battle between HD DVD and Blu-Ray, as I figured it would be best, for me, if I just waited and saw who one before I made the movie to adapt myself. Now this is a rarity for me, as I am normally an early adopter, but, for once, I held off on things.
Recently, though, I made the plunge and bought an 80 GB PlayStation 3, a choice that I whole heartedly enjoyed and that I am enjoying. In addition to being a nice game console, it is also an awesome DVD player replacement. While I have quite a few Blu-Ray discs on order, I purchased Wall-E as my first movie and it was the right choice, I think.
Not only are we talking about a well designed CGI movie that is awesome to look at, but the story is quite cute and enjoyable, too. Be it the overt message of protecting the planet and potential for social disconnect via over usage of various electronic devices and our leaning on them too much or the covert message of trends in human interaction and our laziness to do the hard fight of fixing our own messes.
Our story follows the adventure of the last functional Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class, the titular hero Wall-E, whose stoic cleansing of Earth is interrupted by the erroneous titled EVE, Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator, whose mission is to find signs of Earth recovering form environmental damage, thus allowing the human race, in self-imposed exile, to return to their home planet.
WALL-E's life changes with the arrival of EVE, as his previous solitary existence, save for a cockroach companion, is shattered by the love that the eccentric robot seems to have been craving and now suffering from. What follows is one robot abandoning his directive while following the other through a series if important, yet hilarious obstacles that leads to an artificial life form teaching humanity about what it means to be human, again.
Stunning CGI, excellent plotting, and enthralling characters, WALL-E is definitely a good buy and on Blu-Ray Disc it is utterly amazing.
