UP!!!

I've anticipated for this movie for such a long time that I've watched practically almost every single clip that is available in Youtube. My dear eventually says "Let's watch this movie on your birthday" and I immediately says YES! without any hesitation. I was like a small kid begging to go for a movie ever since I saw this trailer being released. I even had this movie wallpaper on my working laptop. Yup! It's no other than the movie...

Name: Up

Language: English
Date of release: 16th May 2009 (USA)
Director: Pete Docter
Starring: Edward Asner, Bob Peterson, Jordan Nagai

The story basically tells of a young Carl Fredrickson meets a young adventure spirited girl named Ellie where they both dream of going to a Lost Land in South America. 70 years later, Ellie has died and Carl remembers the promise he has made to her. Then, when he inadvertently hits a construction worker, he is forced to go to a retirement home. But before they can take him, he and his house fly away with a large string of balloons! However he has a stowaway aboard. An 8 year old boy named Russell, whose trying to get an assisting the elderly badge. Together, they embark in an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain and a rare bird named Kevin.

The movie plot is actually entertaining, however with clips and spoilers being posted all over the tube, you can't help but to ask yourself... "Why do you have to spoil the entire movie before you even watch it" as you are in the cinema watching this. There are a lot of love scenes early on and a bit dull over the middle with the usual big bang ending. Introduction towards its characters came in at the right time especially Kevin and Dug. A movie should be entertaining and filled with scenes and songs which were expected from a Pixar film just like its predecessor, this one cuts the cake where there are moments where the movie does come to a complete silence and you can even hear the person next to you breathe! It's still a good experience to watch the movie as you let your mind rest once in a while with a few animation sequence.

And I've included the best part of the movie along with this blog. Enjoy!

Rating: 7 out of 10 stars
