The condensed love story at the start is beautiful. Some music and short, delicate scenes convey a lifetime of joy and sorrow. Jettisoning that subtlety in favour of such broad, obvious comedy is infuriating. The idea seems to be: if a house can fly, then anything goes. Fuck those dogs and that bird! Some genuine Pixar moments slip through, but this continued disneyfication is a worrying trend.

Not only do Pixar keep effortlessly coming up with fresh ideas and characters that never hit a false note, their masterfully animated films are also superior to most regular movies in terms of technical aspects of filmmaking (framing, editing, scoring etc). The montage at the beginning is, simply, sublime. My only nitpick is that I found it relatively unfunny. Genuinely touching and invoking a childish sense of adventure will do, I suppose.

A little disappointment. Without completely unnecessary villain and his talking dogs that would be a masterpiece and probably my favorite animation ever, but now it's just a great, colorful movie with a couple of incredibly touching scenes. It's moving, it's funny and I really would like to love it, but I can't. / South America! It's like America, but south. :)

Another great Pixar film that would have been a masterpiece had it not been for some of Russell's annoying characteristics and the moment when the film turns dogs into airplane pilots. Generally, the villain and his army of trained pooches felt a little forced. Otherwise, the driving force of the plot (Carl's love for his late wife) is incredibly engaging emotionally and Carl Fredricksen becomes one of Pixar's most memorable creations on his own right. That montage will get you every time.

About fifteen minutes into the film there is the most beautiful montage which represents Carl (The old man who decides to go on a adventure using balloons to life his house in the air) and his wife's entire relationship. That was the first time that I cried. This movie is beautiful and touching. Though animated it touches on human emotions in the way that many non animated films cannot do. It shows that you can combine stunning animation with making someone want to cry.

Very entertaining, and quite funny, too. It falls into too many cliches at the beginning of the third act, but then the action picks back up and is excellent to the end, and the montage early on is truly touching. Not Pixar's best, but certainly up there.

Pixar hits another home-run with their new light-hearted, heartfelt comedy. A story about making your dreams come true, Up has plenty to offer to both adults and children alike. The script is one of Pixar's best and stuck somewhere between laughs are themes that stay with the audience long after leaving the theater.

Although an abundance of clunky "jokes" and abrupt thematic shifts keep it from being an animation classic, Up nevertheless succeeds as a moving story of an old widower's determination to shed his life of one particular regret. A bit more somber and adult in places than any Pixar film to date.

In my opinion this is the best movie that Pixar has yet to put out. The animation is awesome, but the storyline is even better. The interaction between the Carl and Russell provides lots of laughs (especially when you then throw in a dog and some sort of crazy bird). My date went through an entire box of tissues, so if you cry come prepared. But besides all the laughs and tears (that Pixar films usually have) this really had a deep story to it. That's what I liked best about it. Love Dog!

First off I'll say the animation is excellent and the soundtrack is wonderful. The general story is touching and heart-warming. However the movie has two glaring flaws: first the protagonist has a side-kick that's basically a fat Short Round, except even more frustratingly useless, and packs a few really contrived moments. It's still worth seeing but if you get a nagging feeling that Pixar has done much better, don't worry, you're not the only one.

Would have made for a perfect, tear-jerking 15 to 20 minute short, but where's the fun (and money) in that? The story slightly lost me at the introduction of the talking dogs, an anthropomorphic tendency I was hoping Pixar's creative minds could have avoided this time. They also shoehorn in their famous "something is lost and must be found" plot, as well as a maniacal villain whose turn to evil is abrupt and unconvincing. But hell, I was still manipulated by the cuteness of it all to enjoy it!

After finding "Wall-E" (my first exposure to Pixar since the original "Toy Story") to be a little overrated, I wasn't sure how I would respond to "Up", but after the gorgeous montage of the old man's life with his wife, Ellie, I was hooked, and impressed that a "kids" movie was not afraid to tackle such dark subject matter. While I found that the small mailman was far more annoying then he had to be and the overly slapsticky stuff did nothing for me, its overall sweetness ultimately won me over.

"Up" is a pure roller coaster ride: slow (and in this case beautiful) opening followed by exhilarating thrills. Although not their best film (it hits a small bump around 30 minutes in), Pixar's latest effort is without a doubt their funniest film to date. The end result is nothing short of stunning and I hope to see it again soon. Michael Giacchino deserves lots of credit for his music.

Finally a 3D film that doesn't use it for tacky sight-gags, but instead creates incredible depth of field. The movie is absolutely beautiful, full of vibrant colours and gorgeous animated vistas. The opening Ellie montage is incredibly moving, creating Carl as a tragic, quietly desperate protagonist before setting him off on an Indiana Jones adventure in the second half. This film knows the spirit of adventure well, instantly becoming one of the greats of the genre. Very funny too. Pixar > all.

The first half of Up is everything a great animation should be: gorgeous CGI, excellent soundtrack; the plot eased along by the visuals, not dialogue. There is also a poignant story here, with an elderly protagonist to boot. Unfortunately Pixar again get afraid of alienating the younger viewers so quickly turn it into a generic family flick complete with annoying kid, talking animals, all-action finale, etc. Maybe next time they'll have the balls to go all the way, but I doubt it.

'Up' is Pixar's first true masterpiece, and is a demonstration of how far Pixar have come. Amazing from start to finish, packed full of emotion and charm to a level that other animation houses can only dream of in their productions. The depth, humour, originality and talent on show here is quite incredible. One of the finest animated movies ever, and my favourite film of 2009 so far.

Better than Wall-E, and Pixar's best film to date. The silliness of it all ties in perfectly with the theme of childhood imagination and adventure, and the humor is spot on in a way that surpasses even that of Wall-E. My only problem is the antagonist, whom I found unbelievable, coincicental, constructed, and generally out of place. It annoyed me for a certain part of the middle of it. When differences are based entirely on misunderstanding, why not just clear it up? Still, fantastic.

After the brilliance of Wall-E and Ratatouille, I can't help but be disappointed by Up. The animation is spectacular and probably worth the price of admission alone, but the film's structure is so odd and abrupt. It jumps from plot point to plot point with little setup or explanation. The action is less exciting than Wall-E's (or even Bolt's) and so many of the jokes here just aren't funny. The Carl/Ellie stuff is really great, though. It's above average, but not by much.

It's the same old thing: these show-offs spend their time refining a story to cinematic perfection, with peerless animation skills and unwavering storytelling instincts. Then the finished product's met with universal acclaim, record-breaking box office tallies, an Oscar or two, and a fanbase that endures for years to come. Rinse and repeat.

Aw, I loved this. Definitely one for repeat viewings. It was a great story with great animation, nothing short of what we've come to expect from Pixar. There were a few moments when I was reminded that I was watching a kids' movie (like the doberman's loose wire voice), which was a little jarring and took me out of the moment for a second, but overall, they tackle making an animated film suitable for people of all ages extremely well.

Up is a unique film. Right off the start you are engaged and through Carl's journey, and through his ups and downs, you yourself feel a sense of accomplishment. Although it seems the conflict of Carl and his childhood hero is rather forced, it never really seems to be an issue because of the hilarity and antics that ensue. A great Pixar film.

Pixar, how do you do it? I find myself asking this question after viewing every new film of theirs. In the case of Up, they do it brilliantly. It's a crazy, imaginative, hilarious adventure unlike anything I've seen before. Once again, the company's given us an endlessly rewatchable gem that's pure joy for any age. So I guess the better question would be: Pixar... how can we repay you for all you've given, and continue to give, to the movie-going world?

ust another emotionally-fueled yet hilarious, character driven yet action-packed, beautifully rendered and detail-perfected Pixar adventure.

I didn't think the story that went with the film sounded very enticing at first, however upon viewing, it infinitely surpassed my expectations, and is easily takes its place among other iconic classic Pixar films. The blending of adventure, comedy, and some minor gloom that will surely yank at your heartstrings. The film leaves you with an everlasting message -- that the experience of love and friendship is the greatest adventure of all. Up is surely enjoyable from beginning to end.

Up has two moments of intense poignancy so well-executed just thinking about them can instigate fresh tears. This adds surprising depth to a deceptively simple narrative. Yes the movie gets a bit slow in the middle with a few silly plot twists but the gorgeous visuals and the loveable characters retain your attention. At its most basic level, Up is a fun kids movie. At its best, it's a touching non-didactic call-to-arms to continue moving forward with life and embrace the unexpected.

In my opinion, Up is easily the best work Pixar have done so far. It perfectly blends the potent and treasured memories of old age with a great sense of adventure, surreal comedy and some very memorable and excellently animated characters. It effortlessly glides between some very real and down-to-earth emotions and a physical comedy adventure without ever feeling disjointed or out of place. The only real downside is connected to the villain who often feels too much like someone from Wacky Races.

It's a fun movie, but falls short of WALL-E in almost every department. The Carl & Ellie montage is a textbook lesson in marvelous dialogue-free storytelling, and is absolutely heartbreaking. There are a few other touching scenes, but overall the film is going more for adventure than pathos. I would have enjoyed it more if the Carl/Russell dynamic was more engaging.

Though I couldn't help myself to taste some Dreamworks job at some parts, like speaking animals and characters having adventure which I believe was intentional.

Pixar delivers again. The underlying story is a touching bit of whimsy that deals with some serious subjects (dealing with loss, reconciling oneself to broken dreams and promises, etc) as well as with delightful escapades (old timey explorers, the exaggerated zoological information found in old accounts of foreign lands). It is a "kids' film" so there are a few more wacky aspects than I would have liked, but unlike many in the genre it has heart enough to appeal to all ages.

with wall-e and this one pixar has really set the bar high, they've been pumping out good kids movies from the beginning, but now it's simply taken to a level where this is a film that is tremendous in every aspect and any way you look at it. it really tickles me to see kids movies coming out these days that i would want to own for purposes other than nostalgia.

My personal favorite Pixar film, Up is a flat-out masterpiece. The 'Married Life' montage is unforgettable, and by far the single best individual scene of any movie made in 2009.

A decent Pixar movie. It would have been better had it not been for the weird pacing issues that made the movie move way too fast at times, jumping from one event to the next with barely any explanation in a jarring manner.

What works are the simple but wondrous things, which many fantasies can often lose sight over. This loses itself though with the final confrontations which drops simple for action. Still it does come back to the simple things again in the end.

No matter how many times I watch this, I am always moved. The score, the scenery, the emotions, the technique, everything has been perfectly molded to fit. The story might not be the most original, but the tools used make it a fun ride. The only thing that lets it down is the dialogue and vocal interaction between the characters. It just seems so wooden and stiff at points; however, Doug the dog is brilliant. Another Pixar gem to add to the collection, and one that certainly won't be forgotten.

Talk about a depressing children's movie! But don't get me wrong, this movie is by far my favorite pixar movie. It's a perfect mix of sadness (right in the beginning, too) and absolutely adorable hilarity. Who can resist small, grumpy, men and tubby boyscouts? The creativity of this movie also surprised me, especially since I haven't seen a pixar movie that has made me giggle this much or let out multiple "awes" in a few years.

Once again, I see a movie that's supposed to make you feel good, and it makes me sad. I'm not saying it's anything but excellent, just that the story of lost love makes me kind of sad.

This movie sucks you into the first ten minutes, making you feel sympathetic to both the main character and, especially, his wife, for whom the whole movie revolves around. Never a dull moment, Up actually lived up to all the hype that surrounded it when it was released.

I really loved this. Maybe Up would be more satisfying if it didn't have a slightly preposterous villain, or if the character of Russell wasn't played purely for comedy so frequently. But the sad undercurrent of the story is handled with the utmost grace, the action sequences are exciting as hell, and the comedy is genuinely funny. While Up certainly leaves you wondering what Pixar could do if they tried to make a film solely for adults, it's hard not to be satisfied by this "children's movie".

Final Rating: 98 (A+) - This is very likely to be the only A+ I will ever give. It is an unsurpassed movie that can truly be hailed as a classic. No words will ever manage to glorify the movie enough. This is entertainment, humor, quality, visual mastery, and all elements of a successful film spliced into one - and all are at their finest. What more can be expected from this true gem of a movie? This is a one-in-a-million delight that surely must be one of the best movies of all time.

How do they do it?? How do they make us cry, laugh, laugh, cry, and never disappoint? Pixar knows how to keep your head high up in the clouds. Even if they have to tie a thousand balloons to do so.

Hugely entertaining and equally touching. I took my two year old to it and she, my wife, and I were completely spellbound throughout the entire ordeal. An immensely human movie.

Starts very strongly, with a superbly efficient and touching montage. The rest of the film never quite matches this, but nonetheless remains an extremely likeable adventure.

The wonderful world that Pixar can create is astounding and mind bottling. The first 10 minutes had me feel so many emotions I was sure I wasn't sure if I was at a funeral or at the zoo. It just goes to show that the word cliche maybe over used but it is comforting when done right.

Some of the best Pixar characters, but probably one of my least favorite stories. Now that's not a bad thing at all because the worst pixar movies are still ahead of so many other regular movies.

This movie is a must see for the first 10 minutes alone. The fact that the movie continiues to be great after the first 10 minutes of montage is only gravy on top. The decision to cast old school actors like Ed Asner and Plummer is a clear statement of ambition and the movie pulls it off. A sweet story about never forgetting your dreams and living them out. I laughed and yes I admit it I cried all way throug this high flying adventure. Up is one of the best movies of 2009.
