UP is fantastic, I highly recommend anyone to see it. It's funny, sad, has a lot of action towards the end, possibly the best of the year so far, yes I know it's animated. Look,  UP is way better than last year's good but overrated Wall-e.

Don't know the score i'm giving it yet, but it's just fantastic


Isle 10- A series I'm currently writing with my friend Adam and it will go into production soon. Think The Office meets 10 Items or Less.

I've only seen about 30 minutes of UP, so I'm going to give a very short review.

I liked what I saw. It was cute and funny, but the animation wasn't as good as MONSTERS VS. ALIENS.

I couldn't tell the difference between wearing glasses and not wearing glasses while watching UP. In MONSTERS VS ALIENS, you couldn't see anything without the glasses.

Just got back from a nice vacation, where I had the opportunity to see "Up" at one point.

And I think I can safely say that this might be the best film of the year for me.  I know we have yet to get into Oscar season, but this film had it all.  Hyperbole aside, I can at the very least say it's definitely the best film I've seen so far.

The film did a great job of weaving comedy, action and heartfelt drama together and had a perfect runtime of just over 90 minutes.

Not sure how I felt about the 3-D.  I read a review where it said that if you see it in 3-D the colors aren't as pure as they would be.   I'm seeing it again soon, so I'll probably catch it in 2-D this time.

But yeah, best movie so far.

Saw UP this afternoon...Film has a heart and soul that is timeless. Masterwork in building characters. Not a dry eye in the house, and that was just 10 minutes into the film...Very honest and real; Could have come of as hokey or contrived, but not in the hands of master storytellers...I will not forget this movie, maybe forever.

Saw it 3D. I think it added to it; although I think the 2D would be fine too.

I saw this one last night. Awww! How sweet! I am trying to think what the message is behind of this story. I think it is.. "Love must go on." Even you have dream!

What is life if you are living in your dream without the loved ones in long run?

Yeah, I like this one! Good storytelling with good contrary characters like old man and young boy. Chasing the dream!

I finally saw this with my boyfriend and two of our friends.

I thought it was way to maniuplative. The beginning was too sappy. The montage near the end was too sappy. I loved Carl and Russell and Dug. The villain was weak!

I wasn't impressed with the 3D animation at all. I expected a lot more from Pixar. Both Dreamworks and Lionsgate has it made on 3D. MONSTERS VS ALIENS was terrific. Better story and way better animation. Lionstage made MY BLOODY VALENTINE. While the movie sucked, I felt like I needed to take a shower because I felt like i was covered in blood and guts.

The only thing that made the animation good in UP was the depth of Paradise Falls. There were a ton of shadows and it looked huge, but I expected stuff to be right in front of me.

Boo. 3/5 Stars.

I wonder if being married brought a different dimension to it for me, because I thought the beginning was spot on.

For a kids movie I saw on percocets for post wisdom tooth removal, this was pretty good. Definitely one of Pixar's better flicks, although not the best by any means. I liked actually liked the quieter moments of the movie as they helped balance out the overall goofiness of the plot. This is also the first and almost certainly the last film that's one me over with a stupid-eyed talking dog. My favorite character, by far, probably because his lips didn't move with the words and he was able to keep his doggy traits. So yeah. Fun.
