A few days ago I went to the cinema to see a film that everyone speaks well of (“it’s the best animated film in history”, “they say that in the first half hour they don’t talk but that it’s amazing”) but that for me has been a quite simple film: Wall.e.
He de reconocer que los efectos visuales están logrados, y que el protagonista (Wall-E) evoca aquellos tiempos de la infancia en la que disfrutábamos viendo a cortocircuito, pero nada más que eso.
The plot of Wall-E is as follows: Wall-E, a robot that lives on Earth, is in charge of cleaning up the waste** left by humans before leaving the planet. The robot has the only company of a small cockroach and while recycling it collects valuable objects for it, which it stores in a room that acts as a home. One day, an alien ship brings Eva, a robot with a strong temperament with whom little Wall-E falls in love. Everything is going well until, upon finding the first sign of life, the ship returns for Eva and Wall-E must embark on a journey in search of her. From there, a series of events take place outside the planet in which robots are the protagonists.
From the hand of Disney and the Pixar studios Wall-E comes to cinemas throughout Spain, although it maintains what we could consider as the Pixar tone, with a quite polished animation, a deeper story or more participation of the protagonists is missing (it may be due to the very few dialogues or the lack of custom of films like this). Another thing I miss, and which is very rare in the Walt Disney factory movies, is a soundtrack with a main song that is remembered as “the Wall-E song”. You know, being Disney, a marketing campaign is expected with songs, records, DVDs, various products, gifts at happy meals, etc.
Por lo tanto, en lo que a mí respecta, catalogo la película como entretenida para ver con niños pero quizás si vais a verla con unas grandes expectativas salgáis solicitando la devolución del dinero de la entrada. Tal vez me equivoque…¿o no?
