Wall-E, a cleaning robot, spends everyday doing what he was made for.
But soon, he will discover what he was meant for...
WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth class), directed with a poet's eye, is some kind of miracle. It's Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot mixed with Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and Terry Gilliam's Brazil, topped with the cherry of George Lucas' Star Wars and Steven Spielberg's E.T. , and wrapped up in a G-rated whipped- cream package.
What could have been a mess of influences is instead unique and unforgettable. Tons of movies promise something for everyone WALL-E actually makes good on that promise. It's a landmark in modern moviemaking that lifts you up on waves of humor, heartbreak and ravishing romance.
