I watched Pixar's Up over the weekend. Honestly, I haven't been keeping up with Pixar's movies like I used too. I have yet to see their last few movies. After seeing, the trailers for Up, I just had to find the time to see it. It looks like a fun movie.
Up started very slowly, almost too slow by my liking, this introductory part of the movie started cute and ended sad, wasn't the most original story, but it was the setup for the whole movie, much like Pixar's other movies like Finding Nemo for example.
When the house started floating, I thought, here we go, it was definitely the highlight of the movie and even after they landed, the new strange place was just a great set up for adventure and discovery. However, here is where everything just went downhill. I didn't enjoy the second half of the movie. Pixar could have gone in many different directions, but they choose the most boring one. One talking dog was funny, a group was getting old fast, a legion was just too much. Another old fossil show Up and it was like watching an animated grumpy old men.
Though the lesson thought of letting go attachment to things to discover what was accomplished and gain new friendships by Pixar's Up was really good, the story and the way it was told just wasn't up to Pixar's previous movies. The animations and CGs imagery was top notch as always. Even with the Academy Award nomination, I found that the scores for the film weren’t all that spectacular. I give Pixar’s Up: three out of five stars, definitely, a miss opportunity to be one of the great classic animations.
