It's funny, illuminating, deft, accomplished, mesmerizing, warm, and in the end, as inspiring as its title."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron A- "Up underlines not only Pixar's artistic dominance, but demonstrates a rarely observed portion of emotional sincerity that rushes through the system of this picture with a near angelic grace."   DVDTalk.com   Brian Orndorf A+ "You can tell that this film was a labor of love, and that the cast and crew were sufficiently inspired by the material to craft a children's movie that is destined to be a classic."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 5/5 "A fantastic experience the way only Pixar could make it, a touching, intelligent story punctuated with gentle whimsy and bold excitement."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 3.5/4 "opens on a note of human subtlety that goes beyond what we expect of a cartoon and grows into what may very well be the most touching human drama of the year."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes B "A solid Disney adventure feature animation using Pixar."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Pixar has done better in the past, but, until their next masterwork arrives, Up will do nicely as the winsome fable it is."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 3.5/4 "Per usual, the nuances of human relationships are conveyed via Pixar's predictably acute attention to detail, coded in a mysterious evocation of mood."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 4/5 "Lo notable de Pixar es que tampoco parece pretender alcanzar nuevas metas, ni siquiera superarse a sí mismos, con cada nuevo proyecto. Simplemente lo hacen lo mejor que pueden."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio A- "It's breezy, clever, hilarious, and entertaining -- all par for the course at Pixar -- and has the depth and intelligence that separate Pixar from every other animation factory."   Film.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "Saying Up ranks somewhere right in the middle is like dissing the bottom half of the top 10 titles that any genre has to offer. And if that is where Up appears on the list of 2009's best films, then so be it."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "A wonderful film, bursting with creativity and remarkable, in the way Pixar efforts usually are, for being a 'family film' that doesn't pander and treats its story like serious business."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3.5/4 "Pixar does it yet again with a competitor for the best film of 2009..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. "A film that opens daringly ends with a shout-out to Star Wars"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce A "An animated movie that's far more human than most live-action ones, and easily maintains the exalted standards we've come to expect from Pixar. It's guaranteed to raise your spirits."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "Another triumph for Pixar - a 3-D animated feature about a memorable cross-generation friendship that is also a probe on the true meaning of adventure"   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B+ "Up begins as a shrewd film that suggests a need to protect the good parts of the past while discounting the bad. But it ends with a moral discomfiting in its plain-and-simpleness: out with the old, in with the new."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3/4 "A film like Up makes it clear that Pixar has moved beyond the point where it feels the need to pander to children."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "a wonderful, whimsical flight of fancy, a wild 3-D excursion into storybook delirium that is nonetheless firmly grounded in trecognizable human emotions"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4.5/5 "Up may be the first Pixar film about actual people, and for all of its computer-generated visions and 3D inventions it's always about human emotion and human experience."   Redbox   James Rocchi 6/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 3.5/4 "Pixar's magic still has sparks to spare."   Cinema Writer   Jay Antani 10/10 "How powerful are the folks at the Pixar Animation Studios? Their latest offering, Up, can possibly make you cry within the first 15 minutes."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/5 "click to read the full review"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 5/5 "Up, Up and Away%u2026."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 5/5 "My six companions and I uniformly fell in love with this movie, and I can't wait to see it again, even at $15 for 3-D."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4.0 "Hampered by a poor, almost cryptic advertising campaign, Up returns Pixar to their storytelling roots as experienced in previous films like The Incredibles and Ratatouille."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 5/5 "A sweet, tender film that is easily one of the best films of 2009, and with its 3D experience, it is the first film of the summer that is a must-see in the theaters."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr A+ "With its tenth film, Pixar has seemingly raised its own stakes, delivering a tale of such richness, such poignancy and such incredible imagination that one can only marvel at their dedication to the art of storytelling."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 8/10 "Pixar has gone past the point where they made animated films that happened to be good stories. Now they are making good stories that happen to be animated."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "[C]heerful and fantastical yet never unrealistically optimistic... [T]he cleverness and originality of Up is nearly boundless..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/5 "After a strong takeoff, Up lands on dead grounds."   Film Threat   Matthew Sorrento 4/4 "Pixar's unwavering standard of excellence is simply unfair, as it spoils us audiences who then expect other films, animated or live action, to measure up."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 4/4 "It's no surprise that Up was chosen to open the Cannes Film Festival. This is a work of art."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan A- "A tenderness and spirit that is like helium for the heart."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow "Exudes a wit and wisdom that elevates it to the animated adventure apex."   The Screengrab   Nick Schager 4/5 "Mais um exemplo de como a Pixar consegue construir, digitalmente, aquilo que a maior parte dos realizadores contemporâneos falha em criar com atores reais: histórias e personagens repletos de humanidade e doçura."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 5/5 "Alternately funny, touching, exciting and visually dazzling, often all at once, this is the kind of film that you genuinely need to see twice in order to fully absorb everything it has to offer."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "There are frequent pangs of sadness throughout the film that beautifully balance both the adrenaline-charged action and broad comedy. This keeps both our hearts and minds involved with the story."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline "Far more lopsided than WALL-E, Up fails to reach the stratosphere."   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick A "The most shocking thing about Up--a trick Pixar plays with eerie regularity--is how easy it all seems."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux B+ "This is one of Pixar's better films, comparable to 'The Incredibles.'"   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A+ "I can't say that Up is the best movie made by the CGI masters at Pixar. I can say, though, that there is none better."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "The most tender, touching and deftly told love story of the year is in the opening few minutes of Up..."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 3.5/5 "good, not great, Pixar"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell A "What other animated film has contemplated the anxious stubbornness of the elderly to cling to whatever independence they can for as long as they can, to remain connected to familiar places and things?"   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 10/10 "Whether you view it in 3-D or 2-D, you and your family are in for a terrific, fun-filled ride. Without doubt, 'Up' is the best movie so far this year."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 50) of 53 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   12   > Next
