Up

Actually a fantastic film.

9/10 ball-oons (Tee-hee I'm clever)

I disagree. It's one of my least favorite Pixar films.

I agree, I really lost interest in the plot the moment the house landed and the talking dogs arrived. On the other hand, I love all of the Toy Story's and especially The Incredibles.

I think I just liked it because of the first 15 minutes and how they establish everything so well while also invoking real emotion which I rarely see in movies.

Also, I saw Super 8. It was... fine.  This audience was dumb as sh*t. One lady behind me thought that she had to express her reaction to the whole theatre in grunts and gasps while another thought it would be okay to point out everything that was happening to the person next to her unnecessarily loud. (I also had to pee near the end)

Overall it was the worst theatre experience I've probably ever had. (They nearly died laughing at the zookeeper trailer)

Anyway, The Movie: I thought the movie was fine. The child actors were good, Though its definately not for children. The action was over the top. The *minor spoiler* Train scene was so over the top that I actually started laughing about 30 seconds in.

But overall its fine. Decent acting, perhaps a bit long. I'd watch it if it was on netflix instant, no need to see it in theatres.

5.5 Balls out of 10

I won't disagree with you at all, the whole 15 mins where they establish the love affair and marriage between him and her was very touching and emotional. One can't help but watch it and imagine their own lives in small segments like that. A very good presentation and use of animation to tell the entire lives of two people in a few minutes. But after that, the whole movie sort of lost me.

The app "RunPee" from runpee.com is the best app I've downloaded for watching movies at that theater. It tells you the best times to go pee without missing any important plot points. Even has a timer you can start just the studio logo of any movie begins and your phone will vibrate when it reaches a point where you can run off to the toilets. I've used it regularly at every theater venture my wife and I have taken the last year, made a good experience better. Sorry, to shill so hard for a stupid Android/iPhone app, but this one really works.

BTW, it also tells you if anything is after the end credits for every movie, so you don't waste your time at that end.

Up really depressed me. I have this irrational fear of old people (no, really, I do) and that movie was just a little bit too much for me. Old folks' homes literally terrify me, and have the ability to put me in a really melancholy mood for weeks. Up was like going to an old folks' home, listening to an old guy tell you his life story with tears in his eyes while yelling at a little kid, then following that up by watching a crappy adventure cartoon where the main character's hero he had always looked up to turns out to be a disappointingly mean murderous asshole and tries to kill him.

It is the "touching" story of dreams being shattered wrapped in a shiny fun looking children's cartoon.

If I were Zigfried, this would be the part where I'd talk about suing Pixar to pay for my psychological counseling.

Y'all who didn't like Nemo, fuck the lot of ya. :p

My wife watched Up and the emotional backstory of the old guy was very difficult for her.  And I still haven't watched it.  Maybe some day.

But I quoted this because I have the exact same story with The Incredibles. At first, I wasn't a fan; I was the only person in my 6th grade class who didn't care for it.

6th grade!!!

I teared up a little just reading this.  Tells me I'm still not ready after all this time.

I actually didn't like Toy Story 2 or The Incredibles either, though I still love the first Toy Story. I felt Toy Story 3 was ridiculously cliche and sappy. Nemo didn't do much for me either, I kind of enjoyed Monster Inc. though.

Never seen Wall-E, Cars, or any of the others. Wall-E has been the only one that has interested me.
