The movie is simply brilliant. And from the sounds of my fellow movie goers, most of whom were under the age of 10, they’d agree. I was around that age when Star Wars came out and I was instantly fascinated by R2D2, but even then I knew he and fellow robot C3P0 were there for comic relief. WALL*E is the star of this show and excels in his/its leading man, er, leading robot, role.

Go see it. If you’re a writer you’ll learn a thing or fifty, and if you’re a human being, you’ll learn even more. This is one great movie. Clearly, I’d never make it as a critic. I went, I saw and I enjoyed.
