Overall, I thought it was great, but not excellent. I predicted a couple of the plot twists (which are quite good), but I LOVED the themes explored. Very mature. Pixar did a fantastic job by creating an intellectual, emotional film that can be enjoyed by all ages. I was on the edge of my seat a few times.

Leaving the theatre I thought, "Well, that was $15 well spent" but I wasn't still reeling from the film.

I saw this today and really did love it. I will say though that if you're considering spending more money to see it in 3D, don't. It's a format completely wasted on this film. There was no reason whatsoever to have it in 3D since there were no "tricks", no nothing to make you go "ooooooh". We just summed it up to Disney finding a way to make more money off the film. Oh, well. :)

I thought the 3D was really good. It creates a great sense of depth to the images. A drawback to the current 3D technology though is that the projected image doesn't appear as bright on the screen as normal. This is because the polarized lenses in the special glasses cut the brightness of the screen way down.

without spoiling... so did anyone else cry during the first ten minutes? damn you pixar!!!!

I didn't love CARS... certainly not my favorite... probably my least out of all.. but still a great movie

studios need to take the lead of Pixar.. these people create movies with HEART.. not just about flash... they take time to flesh out real stories instead of just puting up fancy animation to "wow" the audience

another winner... and yes... better then Wall-E!!!

Dolly! I just spit my salad out all over my laptop!

I saw it this weekend in a group that ranged from 65 to 7. Everyone LOVED it. We discussed later- the adults talked about it being a film about dreams, loss, what's really important in life and loneliness. The kids loved the talking dogs.

So a 6 year old is old enough for it do you think?

Heck, if Levi liked the film, that's good enough for me! I might even brea my ban on films and see this one because of Levi's endoresement!

"And I thought WALL-E was overrated...I'm beginning to think I'm missing something here!"

You're not alone, justagirl2. After having read all the hype here and elsewhere, I went in expecting something... I don't know, spectacular... and it didn't deliver. In fact, every time a movie here gets raves (i.e. HAIRSPRAY), I end up being let down. So I've learned my lesson and won't have high expectations when I eventually see UP. But singtopher's post gives me hope.

Yeah, I guess Levi would know! LOL!

I think a six-year-old could follow it.

I think I started enjoying movies- all movies- a lot more when I stopped worrying what anyone else thought. No one cares what I think of a movie but me- so why worry if it's flawed or over rated or disappointing? It is what it is. Sit there and enjoy what you can.

Hey, they have movie theaters in Alaska!

Besides, I've exchanged a few e-mails with Levi. H may not be a candidate for Princeton, but he's not exactly a dolt either.

SM2, glad to hear I'm not alone. UP really is great, though...I don't think this praise is undeserved.

Stockard, Henry should be fine. It's not hard to follow, and the little kids in the theater with me loved it...the talking dogs especially. I think the basic themes of loss, dreams, etc. are something that transcends generations.

I not only cried during the first ten minutes, but I cried at the end, too. I have an even harder time with happy endings!

I saw it on Friday with my boyfriend and his sister. We pretty much loved it.

The twenty minute sequence made me want to cry. Also, every time "cross my heart" was mentioned, I felt the need to tear up as well.

It's a great film for kids and adults, I think, because it has the perfect mix of adventure, heart, and wit. Sometimes it was predictable, but overall I thought it was one of the better films Pixar has done over the years.

I've been saying it for a while now, but it bears repeating: Michael Giacchino is one of the most underrated film composers working today. I'm listening to the soundtrack now and his work on Up is just stunning. It's right up there with his Oscar-nominated (should've won) score for Ratatouille and his delightfully jazzy score for The Incredibles.

"UP has the same art and commerce tension as Wall-E and plays with it just as well. Its art is artful, its commerce, delightful. It's quite beautiful and deeply moving."

Couldn't be said more succinctly - and I agree 100%.
