A film that has little plot until the last act, yet Carrey rises above it to bring it to an acceptable level.
Finally, a solid film in which the Amazon’s story can be told to current audiences.
Simplicity and complexity harmonize together in cinematic zen in the instant-classic WALL-E, a film that uses technical prowess to tell a straight-forward yet far-reaching story.
