Sullivan on Wall-E

The little robot brought in over $62 million last weekend, and I was part of the big box office haul. It's received near-universal praise, including this comment from The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan:

It's odd that a movie that predicts ecological doom can in fact make one more certain that the human race will survive our current predicament. Any civilization that can produce something as technically and artistically sublime as Wall-E cannot be doomed.

Go see it for yourself.

  1. I thought Wall-E was the greatest silent romance I have seen. Since it is the only one I have seen, that doesn't mean much. Basically, I sat in my seat for an hour too long before hearing any words besides the drawn out/ fluttering pitched names "walllllll-eeeee" and "eeeevvveeee-a". I will give it a 3 out 10, tops. I recommend seeing it's neighbor movie, Wanted. The best film I have seen since Planet of the Apes.
