Wall-E gets an A ... certainly a family flick!.

Rating: 5
Just finished watching the Blu-Ray version of Wall-E and I have to say ... "WOW!"

Cartoons and animated movies like Disney's Cars and Wall-E REALLY shine in Blu-Ray and I really think that if you saw Wall-E or Cars in high def and didn't think or say "WOW" when you saw the picture and how clear and crisp it was then the whole high def experience is lost on you.

As far as the film goes ... I LOVED IT! This, in my opinion, will become a true Disney classic! I think this movie is appealing to all members of your family whether your 8, 18, 48, or 88. It is cute, heartwarming, and despite the lack of speech on the part of the two main characters the movie is very funny!

This is the epitome of a "family film" and there is absolutely NO reason why anyone should not see or not be allowed to see this film.

So, if you're looking for a family film or even if your just looking for a good funny movie Wall-E is a distinct possibility for the evening!

ALSO, if you're looking to have your HI-DEF put into use ... pick up the Blu-Ray version, dim the lights, and have a "WOW" or two ready!

Audio dropout in very first second of movie....

Rating: 1
Depending on how your system is set up, the audio is cut off in the very first second of the Blu-Ray version of the movie....How do you screw up the first second of a movie and release it?...And somehow know how to put your pants on in the morning? It's so irritating it's not even funny.....

Awesome Pciture - kind of a weak movie though.

Rating: 5
This is my first Blu-Ray movie and I have to say the picture quality was outstanding my 52 inch Toshiba LCD. A visual masterpiece if there ever was one.

However, the movie itself is lame. Not my cup of tea. My fiance loved it though. Definetly a kids movie but if you're new to Blu-Ray and want to see the best picture available do yourself a favor and buy this.

This movie is a technical showcase - the move itself has little substance if any to be had.

Great Movie - Possibly a Bad disc.

Rating: 4
My kids love the movie and it is great. The only problem is that it seems to freeze for a few seconds on one of the scenes in space. I think the disc might be bad as it is a brand new Sony BDP-S550 player. Have seen other reports of this. Maybe the movie has too much DRM.

Wonderful use of Blu-Ray.

Rating: 5
This was the first Blu-Ray disc I purchased, and it set a high bar for others to follow. The image quality is phenomenal, and it absolutely pays off in letting you notice the incredible details that Pixar put into this film. The additional content is also terrific. The Director's commentary includes thumbnails of the early artwork in the film's development. While the Director's commentary gives you the broad backstory and ideas behind the film, there's also a second commentary track, done Mystery Theater 3000 style, that points out all sorts of details and easter eggs in the movie that I'd missed. Wall-E is a fantastic film, and this Blu Ray edition helped me appreciate the movie even more.
