This is a great movie, certainly worthy of it's Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.
Up follows the life of Carl Frederickson from his years as a young boy dreaming of adventure through his married life (this was told through a brilliantly executed montage# to his later years as a lonely widower #where the story picks up#. Carl sets off for South America by tying ballons to his house but he has an unexpected stowaway in the form of a talkative Wilderness Explorer named Russel. Carl and Russel, and a dog named Dug, have an exciting and suspenseful adventure in the wilds of Venezuela and along the way, we see that Carl and Russel both have voids in thier lives. This is yet another case where PIXAR takes an unusual premise and executes it brilliantly.
The animation is astounding, some of the best I've ever seen on the big screen. Everything is so expertly drawn and beautifully animated. #it's a PIXAR movie, what do you expect?) The colors of the rainforest and the wildlife are rich and vibrant, it gives you the feeling of being there.
The extras include featurettes on the research trip to Venezuela the PIXAR guys took with some insights on the conditions and wildlife in the area as well as a look at some of the process of making the movie itself. It also has the animated shorts 'Presto' and 'Dug's Special Adventure'. The Blu-Ray also has an interactive game where you can earn your Wilderness Explorer badge.
Up really shines on Blu-Ray. The HD transfer puts everything in sharp focus and all the details come out beautifully. This is one movie that really deserves to be seen in High Defenition.
Up is perfect family viewing. Something all-ages can enjoy. Highly recommended.
What's great about it: Top notch PIXAR film
What's not so great: Nothing comes to mind
I would recommend this to a friend!
