Comments:
Finally i decided to see the movie. And i did not regret it ^_^. I think the movie was great, i like the story line and also their great effect. Great! But one think i regreted, i disagree with the cast, i think Rachel Weiss was the best Evelyn O'Connell, and it was a big loss not to see her on the film. The son, Alex, played by Luko Ford, was also too old. He almost the same old with his "father" Brendan Frasher, and for me definitely weird! And the film should be longer since parts when Jet i transformed to evil monster seemed a bit too much. When you erase that part, the film won't change, much more like a post it, stick on the film with no effect. They should develop that frame, since the monster just appeared and disappeared and did nothing.

- In the Himalayas, a shot of a running soldier's foot clearly shows sand, not snow.
- General Yang's soldiers are outfitted with AK-47s, but the movie is set in 1947. AK-47s weren't pressed into service until 1949.

Genre : Animation, family
Rating : Quite entertaining
Pic : wikipedia.com
Synopsis:
In the 22nd century, a megacorporation called BnL (buy n large) rules every aspects on earth, including government. They sponsored 5 years exodus from polluted earth and offers a full automatic robot crews and left units of disposal robots, Wall - E, to clean the earth. After hundreds of years, there is only one small disposal robot left. Everyday, Wall - E and his cocroach pet will gather cans and squared them than stack them in to giant skycrapers, then he will go back to his "home" and play old musics and video, where people sing and dance. One day, Wall - E finds a plant in an old ragged boot. Soon after a huge space craft landedand deploys a beautiful white robot called Eve. Wall - E falls in love at the first sight and quietly following Eve. Once he has the opportunity to get closer to Eve, Wall-E shows her his sactuary, his musics and dancing video and gives her the plant as a present. Eve suddenly freezes after taking the plant inside of her. Wall E tries to wake he up, but it's all useless. The space craft once again landed, retrived Eve. Wall - E races and cling on the outer hull.
The space craft is entering a giant space craft where all survival people of earth stays for 700 years. Eve tries to present the plant to McCrea, the captaint, to place in the ship's holo-detector—a device which will activate an automatic hyperjump to Earth once it scans the plant—only to find it is missing. Eve presumably broken and sent to broken robots divison. Mc Crea sees Wall - E and the robot shake his hand, introduce himself before run after Eve. Mc Crea touches dirt for the first time. He tries to find out what it is and become enthusiastic to find more about the earth. Mc Crea orders auto to finds the plant and go back to earth, but auto refuses his order and shows him the original plan, earth has been very polluted so no body can live on it. Mc Crea insists, since the message was sent 700 years ago and he thinks things will be different nowadays. Auto refuses Mc Crea suggestions and takes over the plane.
Meanwhile, Wall - E following Eve to repairement department, and they cause trouble and release all broken robots. Warning of broken robots escapes is spread out, other robots are trying to catch them. Eve and Wall - E are fugitive now, and they still have yo find the missing plant and accomplished Eve mission.
Comments:
This is a very simple cartoon movie. Quite touching and not to many violent actions so i think it's safe for children. I like the pictures and the old songs. Moreover, you can learn a lot from this film. Wall - E shows unconditional love, big socializer, and a very good friend.
Seeing the movie, i realize, maybe it was right. In the future, all things will be a lot easier, robots will do most of our dailt chores and what people can do is just sitting and do nothing. They shows exactly what people like in the future, anti social (i'm afraid i'll be one of them T_T) and over weight since they don't have to do nothing. Mc Crea even has to try hard to walk since he never move his body. A very good lesson i think ^_^

Comments:
One thing i notice at once, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is a male version of Uma Thurman ^_^ hi hi, they're alike aren't they?
Ok, back to the movie, the movie was reminded me of The Painted Veil, maybe because the setting was also in China and there was also disease epidemic. I bet the audience of the movie think that this is a war movie, and it's about escaping from a great battle. I thought so, and not completely wrong, but this is not a war movie, the point is just to save the children to safer place, the war was just an addition. This movie also touching and brave, and at the end of the movie, you'll se the survivor children which said that George Hogg was their savior and because of them, they live.
