DVD Review: Wall•E (3-Disc Special Edition Blu-ray)

November 18th, 2008 by Geeks of Doom: RSS Feed of Doom

The states of bewilderment and wonderment that was colonized in characters and stories involving toys, fish, cars and rats isn’t as powerfully conceived with robots. That is not to say strongemWall•E/em/strong falls flat on its face either. There is truth to be told in a post-apocalyptic animated film that echoes a kids version of emAn Inconvenient Truth/em.

It’s with this odd and unemotional relationship between two robots that director strongAndrew Stanton/strong, of Pixar’s emFinding Nemo/em, not only hopes to cash in, but bases the entire adventure around it. The outcome is a two-sided film that tips heavily in favor when our robots are stationed on Earth rather than up in space [...]
