When asked what I thought of it, all I could say was that it was sad. Good sad/bad sad? Well, just really sad sad. MaryAnn Johanson of The Flick Filosopher articulates this despair better:
“Not only is this not a comedy, it’s not a kids’ movie. They won’t be bored by it, but they’ll miss what’s so special about it. It’s so exquisite — from the near-silent-movie-ness of it during its first half to the brutal but candy-colored satire of its second half — that people will still be watching this movie hundreds of years from now. And if we’re not lucky, and not smart, and not wise, those people will watch Wall-E and they’ll know that we knew that the ruination of the Earth was possible, and that we did nothing to stop it.”

Yes I know. I should end this quoting streak and put up something more original. I’m on it.
