Sort of feels like an extended short film, with the beautiful, meditative first act being followed up with an unexpectedly plot heavy next two that, while entertaining (see the reject bots), lose a bit of the film’s initial quiet poignancy. Still, the eco-future themes and imagery are striking, and the character and relationship development for WALL·E and EVE is present throughout, is remarkable given their lack of faces and dialogue, and rightly gets center stage back at the climactic re-boot.
