Stop whatever you are doing, go online and find the nearest theatre playing Walle and go see it. Walle is without a doubt one of the most brilliant films I've seen in a long time. More than mere eye candy, though beautiful as it may be, it has something meaninful to say about where we are and where we might be going. It harks back to the best scifi of the 60s.

I don't want to reveal story details because it's best experienced. Suffice it to say, this film impressed in many ways. For one it contained very little dialog. When the robots did speak most of the exchanges happened in single word back and forths. The story moved through the action on screen, played out against the tragically beautiful vistas the characters inhabited.

It's hard to fathom this story could have taken any other form. No amount of description could do some of the movie's most poignant scenes justice. The writer had to have incredible trust in the artists to make the scenes into what they became. I'm really glad that trust paid off.
