Pros: Well-rounded, clever movie. Adventurous; involves elements of real life as well as fantasy.
Cons: Opening scenes may be tough for someone who has recently lost a loved one.
Summary: This movie surprised me. It may appear to be a "kiddy" movie but it has some mature themes that adults can relate to. (I'm not referring to mature in a bad way here; just that adults may understand some things better from experience than ...

Great story
Happy ending
Cons: Not for kids who aren't ready for loud, dramatic, violent action.
Summary: Up was the first movie we took our son to in a theatre. He was about four years old at the time, which is when most kids understand the concept of "quiet voice" in appropriate locations. Our son was THRILLED with all of the balloons and with Kevin, the ...

Pros: Great story, good examination of themes, Pixar never loses it's sense of humor
Cons: The first 12 minutes are intense in terms of sad
Summary: When I first heard that Up was critically praised at Cannes as being an emotionally powerful film, I kind of had my reservations. Speaking as a guy, I'll admit that I can be a bit of a softie with movies that could make me cry. Watching ...

Pros: First 10 minutes are brilliant, great production as usual
Cons: Generic second half
Summary: Up (2009) As industry leaders in animation, it’s almost redundant to declare the technological achievement in any Pixar movie now. It’s a given that we’ve come to expect, even if their quality prevents us from taking them ...

Pros: Everything about the movie itself is perfect...
Cons: ... okay, so the 3D and intro short weren't that great.
Summary: The tenth full-length PIXAR movie, Up, has quite some reputation to live up to - PIXAR are (despite some great animated movies from Dreamworks and Sony Picture Animations) unquestionably the masters of the genre. Here in the UK we had to ...
