<reetva> Woah.
<reetva> I was undecided before, but I think you've convinced me,
<Sal_Wall-E> Im going to right a review on the forums. Not about the movie in general, but why I think Pixar is one of the best movie companies in my personal opinion. Itll be a general talk about the degeneration of movies, but I think itll be fine
<Sal_Wall-E> But im sleep deprived right now, I slept like 4 hours last night, I did physical training for a few hours today
<Sal_Wall-E> and its 2 am the next
<Sal_Wall-E> but man
<Sal_Wall-E> Guy, you are all nice people, you may be cynical, and treat everything new with skepticism, but if you go see this movie with good expectations and a good heart
<Sal_Wall-E> You will enjoy it
<Sal_Wall-E> You really will
I just came back from the opening midnight showing of Wall-E and well... Ill tell you what I thought of it later on, but first I want to talk about movies now.
Honestly, one of the biggest killers I saw of modern day movies in my personal opinion was the last LOTR movie. Not because it was bad or anything, but because it was good. The whole series was a great adventure which so many people around the world enjoyed. Now I know, there are going to be alot of people here who didnt like the movie, thats not what we were talking about here but what I mean is, the series gave all the movie goers a great journey which gave everybody good feelings and most important of all it gave a satisfying conclusion...
...All 11 of them, but thats also not what we are chatting about here.
Now look at movies coming out now. Many are sequels, remakes of old movies, or adaptations from books and videogames. Nowadays, you dont get the "feeling" in most movies. People aren't taken in by anything. Sure you may get a few unique ideas here and there, and im not saying there haven't been good movies out recently because there has been. But you rarely get something in which you actually feel for the characters, or you get sucked into the movie and ignore your surroundings.
This may all be my one lone opinion, but movies have been going downhill for a while now and I haven't seen many things trying to turn things around.
But I just came back from Wall-E.. and, well..
Pixar has always been a shining beacon of hope in the dredge that has been Hollywood scripts and CG, You get unique things and I have rarely ever seen much criticism of any movie they have made. They have ALL been at least decent. (Opinion, I know, but hold on please) and the lowest movie I can think of rank wise may be Cars, but every single one of their movies has been for the most part, truly original and unique.
As stated above, my standards of new movies has somewhat diminished. It all started when I went to see the "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" movie. I had just finished the books, and when I realized there was a movie out about it, I pretty much exploded with joy.
Then I saw the movie.
That movie was the single most crushing blow I have ever experienced with a movie. It wasnt BAD per se, it was just so different, so not what I was expecting after reading the books that my concept of going into a movie theater cheery and optimistic was all but shattered. I have never really gone into a recent movie with anything more than somewhat low expectations because of the fear that I might be so disappointed again.
So thank you pixar, thank you Wall-E for giving me such a great feeling of going into a movie with such high expectations that I was left feeling full, and optimistic of the future of movies with the experience you left me with.
So now, without further ado, my review.
Actually no, theres one more quick thing I need to mention.
Remember how all Pixar movies usually had a quick animation inf ront of it? Something completely unrelated to the movie you went to see? Well pixar did it again. And it was so well done and slapstick funny that it sent me into the movie with a great sense of joy. Which, I hope was the intended idea.
Ok, I wont really say anything about the story at all, because I was one of the first to see it and Im not that much a dick to ruin it for you guys, so this will be somewhat limited.
I loved the movie. As I said in the IRC post it was one of the best movies I have ever seen, probably in part due to the other movies I have seen lately that have left me feeling empty afterwords (Thanks Jumper) and well...
.
...
I cant continue this right now. Im literally about the pass out and the last 10 minutes have been a blur. Ill try and write a legit review tomorrow in this thread that way tonight I dont post any accidental spoilers due to me not being able to think straight. So until then, I guess talk about what I wrote in the first part of this thread because I have a feeling im not the only one thinking this way here.
Also, if you have a chance before I post a review to see this movie, please do so. as I said, if you go into it with a clear conscience, WITHOUT (fixed) cynical anticipation, or without skepticism, and you go in with happiness, you will not be disappointed. This movie will make you feel good inside.
