WALL-E, one of the best films of the year

The two superheroes decided that they should skip a foodie post today and put up a special post just for "someone" very special instead. Haha. We don't usually cover movies, unless they are really really good. Of all the movies we've watched this year, I can't remember most of them actually (which actually means to say that they are forgettable) but THIS is different...



Haha. We've been yearning and dying to watch WALL-E since we first saw its trailer many light years ago, and it finally opened yesterday! Arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
Superhero W bought the tickets online so that we won't have to queue up and booked a really superb seating right at the back of the cineplex. OH!

And after so much anticipation, we're so happy that WALL-E did not fail to deliver! Instead, it actually overwhelmed us so much that we actually feel like watching it again... and again after this. Haha. Another great Pixar effort, possibly the best to date, and just as memorable as Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille and now... WALL-E!



The movie follows the story of a robot named WALL-E who is designed to clean up a polluted Earth. For 700 years, he was the only one there, and over time, he developed a keen interest in the many trash he found while cleaning. Everything changed when another robot arrived on Earth, and he eventually falls in love with EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator), and this marks the beginning of their misadventures...

OMG. You won't believe how adorable this cute robot is! An acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth Class, WALL-E embodies very human-like behaviour in a robot. Thanks to Ben Burtt, the guy behind the robotic sounds of R2-D2, WALL-E is made to sound almost like R2 and the only three main words that you are actually going to hear him "speak" is WALL-E (his own name), EVA (he meant to pronounce EVE, the name of his love interest) and Earth (yes, as in our planet).



We're not going to put up any spoilers or reveal much of the plot here, because we don't want to spoil the fun for you. Even if you've not been a fan of animated films, I believe this one is truly special and stands in a class of its own. We laughed throughout most of the whole movie, and at times it even got me almost teary! I can't believe I was actually going to cry watching a couple of robots! Haha. :p

For most of the movie, don't expect conversations because the people behind WALL-E actually spent some good time developing WALL-E's character through the use of body language. A simple simple story with very huge characters, all we can say is, you won't regret watching it! Well, at least we didn't. *grins*

Here's a video clip of WALL-E's trailer just in case you've not heard about this movie.
