I would never miss a Pixar movie which I always find very interesting and sometimes heart breaking, except Ratatouille which I missed. Last year we had WALL-E, one of the best movies of last year. Pixar always comes up with a really great story and smart characters which makes the movie worthful to watch. This year we are going to South America with an old man and a five-year-old wilderness ranger in Up.
The story told us about young Carl Fredericksen, a boy with vast imagination who idolized an explorer named Charles Muntz. Muntz was convicted of fraud of bringing back a skeleton of a giant bird from Paradise Falls. But Fredericksen was still a die-hard fan of him. Then he met a girl who was also a fan of Muntz too. They eventually got married but they could not have a baby. So, they had a dream to live in Paradise Falls. But that never happened. On the present day, Fredericksen's house was surrounded by a mall construction. He would not sell his land to be a part of the mall. So, he embarked on a journey with his house by balloons, many balloons. Unpredictably, a talkative broken-home boy named Russell came along with him. In Paradise Falls they went through jungle, chased by talking dogs, met a giant colorful bird, and encountered the long lost explorer Charles Muntz.
Once again, Pixar made it mark. Up is so sweet and delightful. It is also funny and enchanting. The real magic here is the flying house. Fredericksen is a very strong 76-year-old man and Russell unexpectedly was a boy with many troubles. That made this movie so interesting. It was about dream and goals. Russell was so eager to have his last wilderness badge, he would do anything to get it. Fredericksen was an adventurous man, he wanted to fulfill his promise to his wife. Some things are out of logic here but what the hell? It made a perfect movie. Defintely Oscar material, one of the best movies of the year, no doubt this is the best animated feature this year. One more thing, watching this in 3D is really a waste of money. The usual presentation will do just fine. Looking forward to next year's Toy Story 3! Up: rated A
