Yes, this film's been out for a while. So why is it up here? Well because if you haven't seen Wall-E in high definition Blu-Ray goodness, you haven't seen it. And now's your chance, because guess what recently released at Netflix on Blu-Ray? You got it. So if you've been thinking about upgrading your account with the Blu-Ray option, now's the time. Not only is Wall-E a singularly incredible piece of filmmaking, it is one of the most important sociological discussions of our time. And it's a KIDS film. Sure, in all likelihood, your kids will laugh and point and smile and do all the other things kids do when watching any animated film. But this film teaches indispensible life lessons that are so unquestionably important for current and future civilizations, that to deny our children these lessons is nothing less than criminal.
And lest you think that this film is not for you, adults, please think again. I promise you this film will make you examine your relationship with the world. And if you already have, it will move you to tears. This is not just a great animated film, it's a great film, make no mistake. So, what about the Blu-Ray?
This film is THE example of why Blu-Ray destroys DVD in terms of quality and sheer movie enjoyment. Yes, all you naysayers, the picture really IS that much better. There are subtle nuances of animation that spring forth into vibrant life, the colors are as face-melting as the hardest metal show you've ever seen, and the depth is like nothing you've ever seen (on your television, at any rate...). People will tell you to see 300 to see the difference. Forget them. Not only is Wall-E a much better film, but the picture is at least as good as 'that other film,' if not markedly better. So ditch the spray-on abs, and pet the robot instead.
The downside? Upgrading your account for Blu-Ray will now cost you a varied amount depending on your plan (from $1/month to $11/month). Yup, Netflix is apparently squeezing us for all they can. So you'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth it. To put it in perspective, it'll cost you $4 to rent just 1 Blu-Ray movie from your local Hollywood Video. So if you plan on renting a ton of Blu-Ray, it's definitely the way to go. If you're so inclined, throw Wall-E in your queue. You won't be disappointed.
