This is a kid film for certain. With goofy characters, lively animation, and dialogue and action aimed at that demographic this film further shows Pixar's ability to deliver brilliant kid films. The animation is a technological marvel; this will be studied by art students in the future even more so than Toy Story and Shrek. But I would recommend this movie for all ages because it will appeal to everyone who's ever been to a land fill, played a Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game, or used a sensor to flush a toilet. For it's also a film that will horrify you and make you laugh all at once. It depicts a very possible future for humanity and, because of this, is probably one of the most important films of the year, if not of the age. There were times when I just sat, mouth agape, in awe at the horrifying nature of things while all manner of goofy adventures occurred on screen. And yes, I can guarantee that this film is still a kid film, since the sensibilities used in it are still aimed, even with such a reaction as I had, at that demographic first and foremost. This will change how you view a recliner and remind everyone who sees it how much danger over consumption really poses to the planet, all the while in a package well made for kids of all ages. I predict this movie will be on the next list of AFI's Top 100 Films of All Time and is a very strong candidate for all awards that deal with film/animation/and the like. This is a film that is well worth the ticket price, even of the most expensive variety. In short, see this film regardless of how old you are and even, if you must choose, over other blockbusters like Iron Man and Batman: The Dark Knight. It's simply that good.
