I have to wait till August 14th for it to open here! Unbelievable!

People are already saying this is Pixar's best yet and some are proclaiming they can't possible top this. I'm sure some of you have watched it... but come on, no thread on Wall-E but there's one for Wanted already? Weigh in with your reviews people.

I thought it was definitely very cute, and worth the $10. I've been waiting for this movie since the irst teaser came out sooooo long ago. It's better than a lot of other family movies because it doesn't necessarily focus on being aimed at kids. I mean, that's obviously the key demographic, but there are minor political themes involved as well (think Wal-Mart will be taking over the world anyone?).

I was surprised that a smaller amount of the film was on Earth than I thought it was. The teasers and trailers everybody has seen online alreadyt is essentially most of the first 20-30 minutes. However, after that the rest of the film is Wall-E trying to rescue EVE on the space colony, and more resulting plot from the corporate takeover 700 years ago.

I don't know if this film would top Toy Story, however this is by far better than any other Pixar film created, and considering the quality of those, that is pretty good.

PS - I saw it at the 10PM showing, so i didn't have to deal with kids, it's slightly better that way. :D I saw Spongebob and Winnie the Pooh as well as tons of other films during matinee shows, and it's just annoying.

My wife thought the preview was cute, but from what I understand, it appears to be some sort of global warming / environmentalist movie.

And seriously...couldn't they be more original and not copy short circuit

I guess I'm too jaded to accept most movies at face value anymore with the stuff Hollywood has been coming out with.

C'mon Troll, you really don't think they simply copied Johnny Five do you?

Copied? Not in a plagiarism type sense. I just think the creation of the robot was very bland and that it could have been a bit more "modern" to the tune of something like I Robot for instance, that's all.

I would actually say that the apparent environmental theme is indirect. That actual idea they are targeting is the rise of global corporate companies. Just look at how greedy the BnL company became, becoming one monopoly, even managing to hijack the United States (and the world's) government. They also managed to brainwash the population (not that we aren't so already) into becoming consumerist drones. Just look at all the fatties. As mentioned in the movie, tubbiness can occur when in space, but if subject to proper gravity (which I assumed they were looking at the physics inside the ship) this was another thing that the humans were subject to. Thus, the only environmental attack, is just that companies will destroy everything... But more than just the environment, everything we created as well.

Saw this on friday, really liked it (even though the dialog consisted 50% of "wall-e", 30% "eve", 20% real people talking :p) However didnt realize that till after the movie <.<

Apparently there is essentially no dialog for the first 60 minutes making the film rather Chaplinesque.

I do agree that I was wondering the same thing. There's nothing really directly said about it though. If they had have said something, it would have ruined it for me, and that would have been a real shame.

Fortunately, they didn't and I'd put it up as one of my all time favorite movies. It was such a great movie -- I can't wait to go back and see it again. :)

Wow what a cute and original movie that was. I had some doubt that the movie would be too childish but it has so much humor in it and a good story. I can confidently say it was a 10/10. Also the Mac guys will like the Apple start up sound WALL-E dose when he is done charging up. Like me if you do not think you would like it I would say 9 out of 10 will and the movie looked so cool. Take the kids they will love it and everyone else.

It got a bit too preachy for me in the end...

Backdrop Story = 5/10

Wall-E and Eve = 10/10

Animation = Fantastic

There's nothing really directly said about it though. If they had have said something, it would have ruined it for me, and that would have been a real shame.

I disagree. All the humans were obese and acted like children while screaming "Go back to Earth to start farming like our ancestors!"

I saw the midnight showing of the movie. Best movie evar! Most of my friends liked Mo the most (Mo! mmmmMo!) but I liked EVE the most, her voice was sooo cute. (Wall-e!?)

The bunny mini-cartoon at the begining was pretty epic too.

    • Zen Browser 1.21b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.

    • Louis Rossmann suing Samsung over "990 Pro SSD warranty scam"

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      I am currently using a 4tb stick in combination with a 4tb 9100 Pro. It's only been six months since I bought them but the 990 has already dropped 1% health. Fingers crossed it doesn't go any lower.

      But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • Louis Rossmann suing Samsung over "990 Pro SSD warranty scam"

      He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
