quick plug for 'up'

i just wanted to give a quick plug for 'up.' the new pixar movie. in my movie post i campaigned a little for 'star trek' because it's a great show and worth seeing. 'up' deserves it's own plug as well. nellie had been wanting to see this movie for awhile so we saw it soon after it came out and it completely delivered. everyone should see this movie. its pixar at its finest. they always put out an excellent product. even their 'boring' movies like 'cars' are still excellent compared to so many other movies that come out each year.

'up' isnt life changing. its not a 'blockbuster.' its not action and adventure like star trek. it doesnt have a plot that will 'blow you away.' but its so enjoyable that no one should pass on seeing it and they should make an effort to see it. it will make you happy that there are people in hollywood that dedicate themselves to making excellent movies like 'up.' the really impressive part and why the movie is outstanding is the subtle brilliance that underlies entire movie. the fantastic characters. the great comedy and the way they capture so many wonderful things about life. the fact that in 5 minutes at the beginning of the movie they can tell a character's life story and completely attach you to the character and make you care about him - something other movies cant accomplish in 120 minutes. plus its in 3d. but 'good' 3d. its not in your face 3d where they are just doing obnoxious things the whole time. nothing comes flying out of the screen at you. they just add depth to the movie. again, subtle brilliance.

look, i dont want to over elevate people's expectations with this movie, although even if i did, i still dont think people would be disappointed. but it deserves a plug and its only a matter of weeks before this movie is pushed aside by other big summer movies, none of which will be better. they might have things or elements that you like better, but overall quality can only be matched, not surpassed, at least not until toy story 3 next summer.
