Movie review: Up

Rating: 5/5
Rated: PG
Length: 96 minutes

When I first heard about Up I was skeptical. It didn't look like it would be much of anything. I was entirely wrong. Up puts Wall.E to shame. Wall.E was cute but it's story was too simplistic even for a kids movie. Up is a lot more charming and had the entire audience laughing. I was starting to worry that Pixar was losing it's magic but now I see that it is not.

Yes!!

Up! was great, creative, and it made me smile. 3D was even better (No matter how many times you try to touch the things in 3D, it's impossible.) The storyline was great and, your right, it was pretty funny to top it off. If you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely worth the money.

Up was simply fantastic. Nothing will take the place of Wall-E in my heart, though. Pixar has been on a tremendous upswing since Ratatouille and I am looking forward to their future films.

Partly Cloudy at the beginning warmed my heart to. I love Pixar. They really care for their films and care to tell a good story and I appreciate that.

I went to see it with my sister the day after it came out. It was a surprisingly good movie, Doug was awesome.

I forgot to meantion Partly Cloudy. That was really cute. It was probably one of the best shorts they've ever made.

Yes totally awesome, my fav so far of theirs. I loved the progression in age at the beginning and all the heart ache.

My favorite Pixar film by far. I knew it would be good, but I didn't think it would turn out the way it did. The first 20 minutes made the biggest impact on me.

I like that the story was original, but I didn't find it fantastic at all.
I think I've been spoiled by anime classics.

Actually, the characters Carl and Ellie were based on real people. I found it very fanciful. It's a wonderful image to think of. A house floating along on the air being carried by balloons.
