    Synopsys/Summary

    The basic premise of the story is as follows: by the early 22nd

    century, the nations of the earth are

    united under the benevolent fascism of the Buy n Large Corporation seemingly a parody of

    the Wal-Mart. A culture of mass consumption has led to environmental devastation and the earth

    is no longer inhabitable. Buy n Larges solution is to take human aboard a fully automated

    luxury starliner cruise ship. While this futuristic ark moves through space, a crew of Waste

    Allocation Load LifterEarth class (WALL-E) robots is left behind to clean up the planet.

    After 700 years in space, the descendent of the human race live a life of utter hedonism. Labor is

    no longer necessary as robots cater to their every desire. Obese humans float about reclining in

    futuristic deck chairs and have lost their ability to walk or stand upright. Humans never

    physically touch or even look at one anotherrather their chairs are equipped with a sort of

    communication device that functions as an internet browser and a cell phone. Despite the fact

    that no currency is shown in the film, the landscape of the cruise-ship is a stark depiction of late

    capitalism: humans float past endless billboards erected by the Buy n Large Corporation. With

    no goals, dreams, or desires, their lives are filled with endless consumption.

    Conflict emerges when an Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator (EVE) robot, aided by the only

    surviving WALL-E unit, returns from earth bearing a single living plant. Much like the dove that

    returns to Noah bearing an olive branch, this is the sign that the ship must return home to re-

    colonize the planet. However, the ships autopilot computer attempts to destroy this evidence. It

    has received secret orders not to return earth and to keep humanity in a perpetual state of

    hedonistic ignorance. With the help of WALL_E and EVE, humanity is able to regain control of

    its destiny and defeat the autopilot computer. The ships passengers returns to earth and create a

    new, agrarian society in which humans and robots live together in harmony.

    Reaction

    Its fascinatinghow Disneys Pixar made such movie like WALL-E. WALLE, the latest

    animated film by Disney/Pixar, is ostensibly and adventure story about the titular character: An

    anthropomorphic robot who cannot speak but manages to convey a compelling range ofemotions with his large, binocular-like eyes.

    The movie starts off showing how trashed, contaminated and polluted the earth was. The

    environment in the earth is not livable for humans and animals or any living things, well except

    maybe for wall-es best friend cockroach ^_^. Anyway, the movie also deals with different

    factors like how human have become lazy and dependent on technology. The same technology

    that gives us the lovable characters like WALL-E and EVE - a scout for faraway humanity who

    looks like a suppository as designed as apple, the movie transforms.

    The storys departure from earth onto the ship inhabited by the dregs of mankind is almost a

    shame, initially. The character work on the two robots is so strong that further embellishment

    seems unnecessary. Its at this point that the film has the very slightest of stumbles, with WALL-

    E briefly becoming lost in the mix as were guided around the sterile realm thats become home

    to the remaining humans, who are now so used to their every need catered for that theyve

    become giant, swollen toddlers with little stubby legs and unwillingness to chew, helpless

    outside their buggy-like chairs. The suggestion is that were not far off this and need to take

    responsibility for our existence. The human characters, oddly, dont have anywhere near the

    humanity of the robots, and its not until focus shifts back to the machines that the movie finds

    its feet again. It doesnt sag once through a wacky ending that the band of faulty robots saves the

    day, and keeps momentum all the way to the end credits.

    This movie was incredible and an eye opening to everyone about the future if us, humans didnt

    take care of Earth. It also encourage humans today to be less dependent on technology and start

    reusing items instead of throwing them away and continuing to contaminate the earth with

    rubbish.

    WALL-E is an enjoyable movie yet educational to everyone, kids, adults, and really old people.
