I guess I should have checked other sources instead of trusting the opinions of people on the SDMB-- which I’ve done before, and never been disappointed. Many other RL people I know loved it, so I thought it was a fairly sure bet.
Thanks, Aldi. At least I feel less alone now. Nice “seeing” you again, btw.
I knew I wasn’t the only one! Actually, the specific “breaking point” for me in that scene was when she said, “Please…”.
Funny thing is, I really don’t get emotional as a rule, but that just absolutely broke my heart!
It actually started a little earlier. I got kinda misty when MO started to clean Wall-E up after EVE rescued them from the airlock.
Seriously, this could be Pixar’s best movie so far. And the “Presto” short was absolutely hilarious!
That freak sandstorm must have hit my theater too, I couldn’t see the screen because my eyes were leaking so badly.
I had to do the “stealthily pretend to drop car keys on the theater floor so I could bend over and wipe my eyes” maneuver so my wife wouldn’t see me 
This movie recently opened in EU.
I so appreciate that Pixar are around to make movies like this. It’s reminiscent of the streak of good movies Disney had in the early 90’s, only Pixar has been doing it for over ten years now.
WALL-E is a gorgeous movie to look at. And there are tons of neat little touches and character designs (I thought all the details about EVE’s design were simply perfect) and great sound effects to that. The first forty minutes or so are very atmospheric.
What did I not enjoy? Well, I thought WALL-E himself was sort of annoying. Those sad puppy eyes were a bit much for two hours. Also, the movie seemed to hit me harder in the beginning, when it was mostly silent. While in space, at Axiom, there was a bit too much name shouting. WALL-E! EVA! WALL-E! Oh well. I’m not the targeted audience here. Though, in the end, I couldn’t help but feel for the little robot pair anyway.
And, yeah… Overweight people really are the low-point of civilization, huh? :dubious: I think the entire Axiom rather just made me want to re-watch 2001.
Opened last month in Bangkok, too. We enjoyed it overall, but I would not rate it as good as, say, Finding Nemo. A very good show, though. Expect to see it up for an Oscar.
