The heart of the story itself is beyond words (maybe because the first 30-40 minutes of the film use maybe a dozen words in all).

But here are some of the thoughts buzzing in my head...

1. Cross Charlie Chaplin, 2001 A Space Odyssey, and the all around magic of your favorite Pixar film. Then start multiplying. That's just a taste.

2. Best Love Story.... Ever.

3. Wave at Wall*E!

4. Pixar's latest entry shows why, in the world of movies, (not just animated movies... *all* movies), the best of the rest of the movie houses are still just the rest.

5. Cockroaches can be CUTE? Cockroaches CAN be cute.

6. And the Oscar for Best Picture goes to....

So just go see it, already.
Take your sweetheart, if you've got one, and keep your hand nearest her free. You just might find yourself wanting to reach over and hold her hand.

Last time I saw this movie in the theater, it was 13 years ago with over a dozen dorm-mates, all piled into my Puke green '79 Chrysler Newport... and it was every bit as great as I remember it on the big screen.. and even better with the 3-D. I was a little worried, as I sometimes have trouble with 3-D movies. (I'm also one of those people who could rarely see the image in those posters everyone used to have in the 90's, where 3D images were supposed to "pop" out if you just looked at it right)... But I had no troubles at all with this, and it looked amazing. And the story and animation themselves were of course as good as ever. Worth even the extra 1.50 they tacked on to the regular movie price.... (though I'm taking a star off for the extra cost - movies are expensive enough!)
