Wall-E is a lone surviving member of a class of robots left to clean the earth. After seven hundred years, Wall-E has developed what us humans would call a personality. Furthermore, from watching a couple singing, and holding hands from an old video tape of a musical he gathered from the prodigious amount trash left on planet on earth, WALL-E became curious about love. And one day a probe named Eve entered Wall-E's life, and he fell in love, but Eve was not looking for love. She was looking for something else, on a classified mission, but she ended up caring for Wall-E regardless.

I was not excited about seeing this film, but I am happy I gave it a chance, because I enjoyed it immensely. Wall-E is an adorable character, who is innocence incarnate. Wall-E loves his girl Eve and he will chase after her, and protect her, to the far destinations of space. As I watched this movie, I eagerly wanted Wall-E to reunite with Eve. Besides Wall-E, I also felt favorably toward the Captain as well, who was perhaps the hero of the film.

This is a heart warming story that will induce emotions in a Vulcan. There is no lag, and the pace of the film keeps one interested in the occurrences that were pertinent to the multiple plots. One plot of course, was Wall-E's quest to earn Eve's affection, and the other plot was for Eve to execute her directive, and the third plot was for the Captain to return to earth.

These plots were clearly outlined, and that provided for an easy perception of the story. This is a marvelous tale of love, deception, and triumph. Metacritic.com indicated the film generally received good reviews, and Rottentomatoes.com indicated the film received 133 fresh tomatoes to 5 rotten ones thus far. Great film. A classic. I will grade it an A-. Stay tuned Movieporium.blogspot.com.
