Up Reviews
*Up* didn’t hit me as a kid, but rewatching it now? Man, that first sequence absolutely wrecked me—in the best, most cinematic way. Pure storytelling brilliance. Pete Docter is a genius, and you feel it in every frame. The movie's stacked with layers: grief, joy, adventure, talking dogs—what more could you want? It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and somehow never loses its charm. The visuals? Gorgeous. The colors pop, the skies feel endless, and the camera work is surprisingly artful for an animated film. Sure, it never quite climbs higher than that unforgettable intro, but the ending still had me in full teary-eyed mode. It’s just so *pure*, you know? A rare kind of film that makes you laugh, ache, and smile all at once. I can’t recommend it enough—even if, like me, it didn’t click the first time. Sometimes, movies find you when you’re finally ready for them.
All Time Classic. If you told me the plot of this I would look at you and think your a little nuts. Especially when getting to Kevin & the army of Talking Dog Henchman. But it's quirky and memorable set of characters and amazing execution is what makes this so good. The editing and pacing is masterful and thr animation is first rate. Everything else is really good. The villian is good and original but a little out of left field somewhat. But the subjects it explores and the message of never being too old for an adventure is timeless. Everyone should give this a try once.
Top tier movie, best pixar film to be created. Russel is lierly the rizzler and Mr. Fredricksom is an abslute sigma. The alfa dog is low key baller ngl. Kevin is my favorite bird ever, big birds up there though. Mr. Fredrickson's story arch in this movie is absolute peak and the ending is amazing. Plus the creaters had the balls to actualy kill the villian, W. 9.25/10
This is my favorite Pixar movie, and if you say you didn't cry you're lying to yourself, because I'm telling you nobody had a single dry eye in the whole theater. Everybody who helped in making this movie I thank you.
I loved this movie. The twist villain was amazing. Loved it!
Up soars with breathtaking animation and a deeply moving story, anchored by one of Pixar’s most heart-wrenching opening sequences. Carl and Ellie’s silent love story sets the stage for a poignant exploration of grief, adventure, and human connection, proving that life’s greatest journeys don’t always go as planned. Balancing its emotional depth with humor and high-flying thrills, Up delivers an uplifting message about embracing the unexpected. With unforgettable characters and rich thematic storytelling, it’s a visually stunning and profoundly touching masterpiece that cements its place as one of Pixar’s finest.
This is a movie that made me cry, just a great movie.
This adventure is a perfect mix of laughs and tears, with an amazing story and stunning visuals.
My favorite Pixar film, and proof that a movie can be aimed for kids and adults alike, and deliver all the feels.
this is one of the best animated movies ever
One of my favorite PIXAR films. Heartwarming and very sad at the same time. Well executed.
When the adventure sets off, it may not be as delightful as it's first 30 minutes, but it's still a beautifully complimented, light-hearted venture that people of all ages can resonate with.
Peaks at the first 15 minutes then I tumbled down to a generic kids movie. Meh.
This movie was horrible. Death of the main character’s wife, violence, animal cruelty (injury to a dog and a bird), murder of the villian, child neglect, and abusive behavior, great formula for a kids movie.
Purposely, I chose this to be my last movie of 2024. This has always been one of my favorite movies of all time. The art, oh, the music, the story, the heart, the love, and the care behind this film is so real. It is stylistic, it is obviously so inspired and inspiring, and it is an overall feel-good movie. With the famous montage in the beginning that never fails to make you cry, the one-liners that are hilarious, the emotional rollercoaster that is the film, and all the things from beginning to end, just makes this an astounding film and probably the best Pixar movie to date. I am glad to close 2024 with this movie.
A movie that defines the limits of how one can push themselves until they realize a dream.
The animation is breathtaking, hilarious and quirky too.
Still after so many years this movie still one of the best animated films of all time 😭
