Compelled to write my first review

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2009)

Thank You IMDb reviewers!!! I probably would not have made the effort to see this film in the theaters had it not been for the high praise of some of the toughest critics of anything on earth. Kudos!! For those of you that pooh-pooh all the high praise, give your opinion of the film and move on, no need to bash the reviews of us that obviously enjoyed it! It's just an opinion, and here's mine.. This was a rare piece of cinema that just doesn't seem to happen often enough in the modern era. I haven't seen Wall-E and really only see a handful of films at the theater per year. Saves me money and time that are all too valuable to waste on what passes for film-making these days. This work gave me reason to believe in the movies again. Fascinating visually, taking CGI to a new level without ever overwhelming the story. A film that takes one man's meeting of his soulmate, through their lifelong journey together, to her passing. Some 40+ years all in 10 minutes, just amazing! As powerful as anything I've ever seen on the screen, and that was just the beginning. So much fun and such a beautiful and poetically told lesson of life, Go and Live your Dreams! Thanks Pixar, now how much is that ticket to Venezuela?.... PS Angel Falls in Venezuela seems to be the visual reference for Paradise Falls in the movie ;) PSS And if I had to pick one negative, the title, it doesn't convey the brilliance of this film, not sure if I could think of anything better, but I do think it hurt the popularity of this film.
