Wall-E the Movie
Wall E - this movie is Genial in the sense that not a single word is spoken for almost the first hour of the movie until Wally (Wall-E) ends up on a Spaceship colony where there are Humans residing. The conveyance of cuteness and compasionate loving "heart" of a Machine is the central theme invoked in the Movie.The movie was disapproved of in some circles in the States, due to the alleged criticism of American Way of life suggested in the movie.
Peronally i found this movie first enthralliung the second time around; this is due to the facte that i watched it the first time online as a streaming movie, but the quality wasn't really up to standard, which, in the case of an animated cgi computer graphic production such as "Wall-E", does not do any justice to the movie to say the least! The second time around though, i was left absolutely breathless by the crystal clear graphics supplemented by soft light and transparency effects lending both a clinical plasticity and a touch of life in the barren robot inhabited landscape is lent by the smoky, hazy atmospheric textures and mist layers which have been applied. These effects and fine touches have succeeded in preventing the film from becoming to clinical in it's filming.
All in all perhaps the most ground breaking cgi manouvre in history to date.
9 out of 10!

General Storyline of Wall - EWall-E is set far in the distant future, long after the humans had destroyed the planet to the point of being uninhabitable. All plant life on the planet has been eradicated into extinction or are buried under miles of garbage ? humans have fled in luxurious spaceships where their every whim is satisfied by robots. After hundreds of years living in space not having to move a muscle, we've devolved to the point of being fat couch potato globs that vaguely resemble the Pilsbury Doughboy.
Back on Earth, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) goes about his lonely job of compacting trash. It's what he was built for and programmed to do, and there's no reason for him to stop. He was inadvertently left turned on when everyone took off, so he goes about his work each and every day with only an indestructible cockroach named Hal for company. And after hundreds of years of this, WALL-E has developed a personality. He's an inquisitive little guy who collects weird items of trash that he then uses to furnish and decorate his home. He's also developed an affection for Hello, Dolly! and watches the old VHS tape over and over again.
Hello, Dolly! has taught WALL-E about holding hands and falling in love, and the lonesome robot has dreams of finding that someone special. After endless years of waiting, WALL-E's shot at love appears in the form of a glistening egg-shaped drone named EVE. EVE was sent to Earth to check for any signs of life, and our little WALL-E falls head over wheels for this state-of-the-art metallic cutie. He wants nothing more than to make a connection with this beauty, but EVE's not on the same wavelength. Fortunately, WALL-E's a persistent suitor and when EVE's sent back to report her findings to the people on board the Axiom spaceship, WALL-E goes along for the ride. Nothing will stop this starry-eyed robot from being with his EVE, not hundreds of thousands of miles of space travel, evil robots, or weird jelly-ish people who've lost all concept of what life on Earth was like before their ancestors all but destroyed our planet.Links

Reviews;
Village Voice | Robert Wilonsky
A film that's both breathtakingly majestic and heartbreakingly intimate.
The Hollywood Reporter | Kirk Honeycutt
The visual design of Wall-E is arguably Pixar's best. Stanton, who wrote the script with Jim Reardon from a story he concocted with Peter Docter, creates two fantastically imaginative, breathtakingly lit worlds.
Chicago Tribune | Michael Phillips
While I may argue with the little guy's taste in musicals, it's remarkable to see any film, in any genre, blend honest sentiment with genuine wit and a visual landscape unlike any other
New York Post | Lou Lumenick
A charming, hilarious robot love story aimed at the entire family.
USA Today | Claudia Puig
At once futuristic, funny and fantastical.
Washington Post | John Anderson
The idea that a company in the business of mainstream entertainment would make something as creative, substantial and cautionary as WALL-E has to raise your hopes for humanity.

Wall Street Journal | Joe Morgenstern
The first half hour of WALL-E is essentially wordless, and left me speechless. This magnificent animated feature from Pixar starts on such a high plane of aspiration, and achievement, that you wonder whether the wonder can be sustained. But yes, it can
TV Guide | Ken Fox
It can hardly be called a children's film, but a masterpiece of feature-film animation for all ages.
Miami Herald | Rene Rodriguez
This is a beautiful movie.
Boston Globe | Ty Burr
The best American film of the year to date.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) | Liam Lacey
Mixing Chaplinesque delicacy with the architectural grandeur of a Stanley Kubrick film, director Andrew Stanton recycles film history and makes something fresh and accessible from it without pandering to a young audience.
Time | Richard Corliss
It works; this is Pixar's most enthralling entertainment since "Nemo."
Rolling Stone | Peter Travers
You leave WALL-E with a feeling of the rarest kind: that you've just enjoyed a close encounter with an enduring classic.
Empire | Olly Richards
To call WALLoE Pixar's best film would potentially denigrate films that deserve no scorn. But this is their most ambitious undertaking since "Toy Story" and storytelling of such charm and visual wit that it can stand proudly alongside the studio's best. Absolute heaven.
Christian Science Monitor | Peter Rainer
The story line for WALL-E is probably too convoluted for small kids, and sometimes it suffers from techie overload, but it's more heartfelt than anything on the screens these days featuring humans.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer | Sean Axmaker
A charmer of a film and a delightful piece of storytelling.
NPR | Bob Mondello
The first hour of Wall-E is a crazily inventive, deliriously engaging and almost wordless silent comedy of the sort that Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton used to make.
The New Yorker | David Denby
Apparently, the movie has caused annoyance in some quarters because it criticizes the American way of life. This it does, and with suavity and supreme good humor. WALL-E is a classic, but it will never appeal to people who are happy with art only when it has as little bite as possible.
The New York Times | A.O. Scott
The first 40 minutes or so of Wall-E -- in which barely any dialogue is spoken, and almost no human figures appear on screen -- is a cinematic poem of such wit and beauty that its darker implications may take a while to sink in.
Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert
Succeeds at being three things at once: an enthralling animated film, a visual wonderment and a decent science-fiction story.
Portland Oregonian | Shawn Levy
It's a justifiably G-rated film, but parents may have some 'splainin' to do
San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle
In the moment, it's intermittently transcendent, heartrending and beautiful ... and busy, repetitious and boring.
