Just got back from taking the kids to see the movie. Incredibly boring. Don't think that this is a fun, entertaining kid movie. It is not. It is an animated commentary on the effects of consumerism, automation, and the effects of of such a life taken to the extreme.

If you go you will subject yourself to over an hour of the following dialogue:

Robot: "Wall-e."
Other robot: "Wall-e?"
Robot: "Wall-e."
Other robot: "Wall-e."
Other robot: "Eva."
Robot: "Eeeva?"
Other robot: "Eva."

Oh, then there's the long chase scene where this scintillating dialogue happens:

Other robot: "Wall-e?"
Other robot: "Wall-e?"
Other robot: "Wall-e?"
Other robot: "Wall-e!"
Other robot: "Wall-e?"
Other robot: "Wall-e!"
Other robot: "Wall-e?"
Other robot: "Wall-e?"
Other robot: "Wall-e!"
Other robot: "Wall-e!"
Other robot: "Wall-e."
Other robot: "Wall-e?"

I won't go on, 'cause I don't want to give the whole movie away.

The message is fine. Don't fall for over-consumerism, over-automation, over-consumption, and the effect that it can have on the world that we live in. But don't think for a minute that this is a fun family movie that will entertain you (or more importantly a five year old). I think that the audience sat in silence due to the fact that the movie was not fun or funny (as most Pixar movies are), and were probably bored out of their freaking skulls. I know for one that I was silent due to the fact that the movie bored me to sleep several times.
