UP

I'm kind of surprised no one has commented about this movie. I loved it. It's easily one of the best Pixar movies ever made. I'm not going into details but the movie had far more depth to the story then I was expecting.

Go see this movie. Yes Scott, even you should see this.

    If it's not Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, I'm not paying $15 to watch it in a room full of screaming babies. Put it in the queue with everything else.

    This is now in my top 3 of favorite Pixar movies. I saw it last Friday. I went in, not really knowing the basic storyline, and came out amazed. templar21 is right, the movie has a lot more depth. I can't believe how much I cried during that movie, but that's because some of it hit me on a personal level. However, this is one particular scene that had me laughing out loud so hard because of the awesome fan service to Star Wars.

    I definitely recommend for people to to see it. I might even see it in 3D, if I chose to watch it again.

    Also Scott, you can try going to an early bird showing, especially on a weekday. Barely any children.

    On another note, I recommend Jason's review about it. ^_^

    Scott, you may find this meaningless to your impenetrable wall of meh, but there is something to be said about going to see a movie at a theater, Especially if it's a nice theater. Go and see a night time showing, there ought to be less kids there.
  • AndrewAndrew
    The movie is in 3D as well, I believe. Might be enough reason to go see it that way.

    I don't know if it is my absolute favorite Pixar production (That honor goes to Ratatouille), but it is definitely up there. There were many times I got all misty eyed, and many times when I laughed out loud. That in and of itself is a great recommendation for the movie. Also, I really liked his revelation at the end.

    Also, the dog Doug was wonderful. "The cone of shame" face = LOL

    Yes, Doug was awesome. His voice, his design, *SQUIRREL!*, and his expressions were all very enjoyable.

    My boyfriend and I do the Wilderness Explorer call from time to time as well.

    There are no nice theatres near my house. Late night shows in the city are expensive, and mean I will get home very late, if at all. Early morning shows in the city mean getting up stupid early. When a movie ticket is almost the price of a DVD, and things like Netflix streaming exist, the movie theatre rarely becomes a good idea.

    I almost did something to that effect, but I felt bad. Instead, I set it up to make someone else look like an asshole. :P

    Even if you were to go on a date, a movie theater is not a good choice. If the movie is good, you're not paying attention the other person, which is the point of a date. If the movie is bad, and you're only paying attention to the other person, you didn't need to waste money buying a ticket. You could have had a better experience going to the park or whatever.

    Let's play innuendo softball.

    The best place to go on a date is the zoo.

    It is entirely possible to split your attention. Also, you can make preliminary moves at the theater, and then follow up afterward.

    The best place for a date: your mom.

    *dons sports commentator headset* That's right, Rym. This is turning out to be a startling match versus two masters of biting innuendo. Who will fire the next shot? It's anyone's guess.

    I liked every single character in the movie. It's not very often when that happens.
  • Li_AkahiLi_Akahi
    I absolutely loved this film. I would rank it as Pixar's #2 behind Wall-e and before Ratatouille. I really want to see it again, but in 3-D. It seems that the 3-D would add a lot to the locales portrayed.

    If you've got a girl who's into the H-scene, then yeah, I guess. You gotta watch out for that, though. I dated this hardcore YAOI fan for a while. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but she tried bringing me into it in weird ways sometimes ...

    Anyways, saw UP twice, once in 3D once in not. Definitely a good date movie, but with someone who is either trigger-happy with commitment or someone you've been with for a while. I thought it was a great movie on its own merit, though. I definitely squirted a couple at times. Can get really dense with messages at times, almost preachy, but I think it avoids it pretty well.

    How was the movie at all preachy?
    Anyhow...my friend dragged me to see the 3d movie a few days ago. I was skeptical about the 3d, but it was ok because it wasn't the shitty red and blue glasses.

    Doug was awesome, and I nearly cried when he said "I hid under your porch because I love you". It was pretty heartwarming, to be honest.

    Was it worth the $10? Eh....but it was worth my time at least.

    I thought the bird was the funniest thing in the movie. The way that its eyes got all big every time it squawked was just hilarious to me. I want my own Kevin...

    There's this funny Japanese webcomic about a programmer dating a YAOI fangirl. Tonari no 801-chan. I wonder if there are translations...

    I saw it in 3-D at my local theater, and it was great. Luckily they gave us new fancy 80s music video style glasses, not old gross ones. Anyway, I was blown away by how realistic it was. I think watching it in 3-D added an extra depth to it that made even more realistic. It wasn't cheesy at all- nothing flying at you from the screen and no water guns squirting your face. (Like stupid 3-D theme park movies...)

    The only downside is that as soon as the ads go 3-D, everyone goes "OOOhohohho WOW!!" like its the awesomest thing in the world. Stupid kids.

    I saw Coraline in 3D. While I liked the movie quite a lot, the 3D experience added so very little that I wonder if it is worth the added expense. I haven't seen UP yet and I am debating whether a 3D showing is worth it over all. If it is equivalent to the Coraline 3D experience, it was neat at the beginning, but I quickly forgot about the 3D effect.
