RATING: G</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get the insane, over-the-top hyperbole out of the way early &#8211; I  <br />
love Wall-E. I adore the character and the film that tells his story.  <br />
Over the course of our lives there are a few times when you leave a  <br />
theater with the absolute, unshakable confidence that you will not  <br />
only see the movie you just watched again but repeatedly and until  <br />
the day you die. It&#8217;s the way we all felt upon leaving Star Wars, Toy  <br />
Story, Finding Nemo, etc. There are movies that simply become a part  <br />
of your life. Wall-E is a movie like that for me. I have absolutely  <br />
no doubt in my mind that I will revisit Wall-E, EVE, and The Axiom  <br />
for the (hopefully) decades I have left on this planet. The  <br />
storytelling is brilliant enough that I&#8217;ll probably get something  <br />
different out of it every time but the primary reaction that I have  <br />
to Wall-E will be the same when I&#8217;m 50, 75, or 100 &#8211; pure joy. Wall-E  <br />
is not only the best movie of the year by galaxy-sized leaps and  <br />
bounds, it&#8217;s one of my favorite movies in a long, long time.</p>
<p>[deleted]</p>
<p>&#8230; And there&#8217;s much more to it than that. A love story, an action  <br />
movie, a cautionary tale, a visual stunner &#8211; Wall-E is all of these  <br />
things and still just a damn good time.</p>
<p>Ambitious enough for ya? While other studios are shooting animated  <br />
fish in a barrel by keeping things simple, writer/director Andrew  <br />
Stanton has made the most ambitious film of the year. It&#8217;s a science  <br />
fiction film with a lead character who doesn&#8217;t speak at all. But Wall- <br />
E is just proof that the old line that &#8220;The larger the risk, the  <br />
larger the reward&#8221; couldn&#8217;t be more true. And I haven&#8217;t even touched  <br />
on the fact that Wall-E couldn&#8217;t be a more beautiful film to look at.  <br />
This is as large a leap forward in filmmaking as when we first saw  <br />
Woody and Buzz in Toy Story. Wall-E has an Oscar-worthy screenplay  <br />
but is so stunning visually that it would work even it was a  <br />
completely silent film. A Best Cinematography nomination isn&#8217;t out of  <br />
the question.</p>
<p>Honestly, neither is a Best Picture nomination. Wall-E is certainly  <br />
that good. But will audiences embrace it? Will they take a chance on  <br />
a non-speaking robot? God, I hope so. We need more ambition in  <br />
movies. 2008 has been so lacking in it. Who knew that it would take a  <br />
robot to show us just how much we&#8217;ve been missing and just how much  <br />
we deserve filmmakers that are willing to take a chance? Can&#8217;t you  <br />
take a chance too?</p>
