When I was a kid movies made me dream of what my life would be like when I grew up. After coming back from a great movie, I could sit in my room for hours and fantasize about the worlds I would see and the places I would visit outside my bedroom window, and now imagining how powerful these movies are, I actually I mean I almost watched all movies listed above as it is interesting and fun to watch. It has its own version of pointing people how cruel people are. As much as I want to give my review on all of these movies, I pick Wall e and 9.
Wall-E
I can't remember a film that was so adorable and accessible yet so expertly crafted and multifaceted. You've seen the commercials and you know the cuteness of the little trash-cubing robot Wall-E. Even though he's a machine, he's got more humanity than most characters you'll see in any medium in any year. He's infinitely curious about the world around him and how he finds magic in the most mundane of objects never feels cloying but refreshingly vicarious. Through Wall-E's eyes, our planet is not trash but treasure. The only thing missing is someone to share it with. WALL-E's such a joyous film you can't help but be totally caught up in the world of a lonely robot looking for love. Pixar's put together yet another movie to be enjoyed by all ages and one sure to go down in history as one of the best animated movies ever created. I know those are strong words, but I believe they are completely justified.
9
The film is visually stunning. The original short was all stop-motion animation while this has been updated to the highest level. But I just loved the atmosphere the film depicts as you are introduced to the world ravaged by war and these little creatures fight to survive. I also have to admire the project for how original and creative it is. It reminded me some of District 9’s unique way of taking so many parts of things we have seen before and blending them into something so original. Gorgeously animated, beautifully executed and incredibly imaginative, Shane Acker's 9 manages to nonetheless feel a little bit like something you've seen before. There is so much to love, or at the very least admire, about 9. From the terrific voice casting to the exciting action sequences. The animation is gorgeous and popping with detail. There's even a bit of existential dread to the proceedings, which is kinda heavy for an animated film. Make no mistake, this isn't for the kiddies.
9 is certainly no WALL-E, but its intentions are different. Like many action-oriented films, whether live-action or animated, the two movies doesn’t take the time to develop the characters and their relationships are telegraphed through recognizable clichés. Both excels in establishing a narrative-advancing breakneck pace that integrates exposition without bringing the action to a screeching halt, and represents a largely enjoyable 1 1/4 hours. Comparing this two movies to summer’s biggest; most bloated movie about malevolent robots, 9 and Wall e is about twice as enjoyable with half the length
