REVIEW:
UP is simply a wonderful, simple adventure story about love and friendship. Pretty much every story element in Up is motivated through some form of love—romantic, unrequited, undeserved, rapacious, hero worship, egotistical, parental—yet the movie still culminates in exciting chase scenes and aerial battles.
UP starts off as young Carl Fredrickson watches a film about famous explorer Charles Muntz. Muntz was accused of fraud and vowed to never return back from Venezuela until he brings back the “snipe” in the flesh. Young Carl then meets another fan of Muntz, Ellie. She then tells Fredrickson about her dream to live on top of Paradise Falls in South America.
They never lived the life of adventure they expected, but they lived a life of happiness that would satisfy anyone. After events best watched without pre-description, Carl decides that if there’s nothing else he can give Ellie, he is going to give her a home at Paradise Falls—and he puts his plans to use by using balloons to fly their house down to Venezuela.
The 10th feature film Pixar has developed, this movie made me laugh and cry. If you happen to cry at movies, prepare to bring some tissues. This film may not be the most best feature Disney-Pixar has created compared to Ratatouille and Toy Story, but it is still a great and wonderful film to enjoy. I happened to watch both formats on the film and let me tell you that the 3D experience made this film feel like I was actually on the adventure. This movie represents everything that has been great and wonderful about Pixar over the last 15 years. This film was directed by Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc.) and Bob Peterson (directorial debut but he is a long-time Pixar contributor as animator and writer).
“Whether if you’re eight years old or 78, the inspiring and hilarious adventure is sure to touch hearts and have audiences cracking, well, up.” Quote D23.
