WALL·E

2000’s Pixar was peak Pixar, and Wall-E might be peak 2000’s Pixar. Either that or The Incredibles. Or Ratatouille. Or Up. Or Finding Nemo. Or Monsters Inc. It’s one of those. Wall-E works as a great Sci Fi film in its own right, unlike something like Lightyear, which is more of a pale imitation of better movies. This movie actually has interesting things to say about technology and its effects on the human experience. It’s Ray Bradbury’s wet dream. There’s also critiques of capitalism thrown in there for good measure, which makes it Paul Verhoeven’s wet dream too. How Wall-E takes all of these bleak and heavy concepts and makes a charming, beautiful adventure out of it is what makes it truly special.
