Review of WALL·E

WALL·E (2008)
5/10
This movie was solidly mediocre. Full of plot holes, holes in common sense, holes in logic. Holes

Warning: Spoilers
The management at Pixar must think the public is just barely smart enough to be able to drool on down to the movie theatre without dying in an accident putting their underwear on, and plunk down their hard earned cash. "HA ha ha the public is so dumb! Who cares if the movie makes no sense? Just fill it full of pwitty pictures and cutey pie robots. It's like printing money!"

I am INCENSED that this basically crappy movie is in the top 50 movies of ALL TIME? ALL TIME?????? This movie does nothing new, AT ALL. It replays so many clichés and movie idioms that only retarded 5 year olds wouldn't be able to see them as they get hit over the head by them. ugh.

And the contradictions! Plot holes! Things that just plain don't make sense!

I can only ask questions, and believe me, this is just scratching the surface:

  • Why would EVE have such a powerful weapon AT ALL? The Earth is supposed to be uninhabited!!!


  • Why is WALL-E smart and self-aware in the first place at all? Never explained.


  • Why would a stupid static zap fix WALL-E? Its the dumb ol' "magic kiss" ending that has plagued stories for literally millenia


  • There is NO ONE on that big ship that notices ANYTHING?? I mean, c'mon. There's this 50 acre swimming pool. I know, the movie is trying to make a point, but c'mon already.


  • How are kids created?


  • What about the other ships that left Earth? Where are they?


  • Why couldn't they just settle on another planet?


  • Why is Otto so dead set on not going back to Earth? Not really explained, and if Otto doesn't really have a reason, then all the drama is sucked out of the whole last third of the movie.


  • How are they POSSIBLY going to fix the Earth? I mean, they can't frikin get out of their floaty chairs, LET ALONE FARM, BUILD, AND GENERALLY DO ANYTHING. It's not like the Earth in the movie is even inhabitable yet -- one teensy plant does not an inhabitable Earth make.


  • Why is the litmus test for EVE any green plant? I mean, that alone doesn't really make any sense


Ugh, I could go on. I have better questions, even. But I am getting tired. Unfortunately my 5yo likes the movie, so I end up watching it over and over. And every time I do I dislike it more.

Pleeease, Pixar, Incredibles 2!!
