I'm a total crier. Cried like 3 times during Up. Also cried earlier in the day watching Wild Weddings (cried at the proposals they showed).

OK, most of you know this from my tweet, but...

For Fvcks Sake..... Up is not playing in Aus until SEPTEMBER 3 !!!!!! WTF is up with the global movie industry?!?!?!?!

Obviously the film needs to be remastered for your hemisphere otherwise it would look like you were watching Down

I believe the primary reason for it is the difficulty of waging a global marketing campaign. Looking at the release schedule it looks like maybe they spread traditionally spread things out to the English speaking markets in 4 to 6 week gaps. At least this time you're ahead of UK in line (for Wall-E they got it a month earlier, this time they wait until October).

Bit of if it helps, Japan doesn't get it until December.

Heavens to Betsy !! Still, I suppose the associated interviews with voice talent etc can't happen all over the globe at the same time, so they need to allow for the travel time for the talent, I guess. That and the cost of all the TV ads etc?

We saw it tonight.

Overall it's probably my least favorite Pixar, but that's still a pretty high bar.

I didn't like it nearly as much the 2nd time. And I'm glad I didn't bother with 3-D the first time. Some nice shots, especially during the house-flying sequence. But it made the film significantly darker. Overall, better in 2-D.

You like it less than A Bug's Life?

RStar · 06-07-2009, 10:35 AM

I liked it a lot. There were some very touching moments, but none strong enough to make me cry. Except for the part where John Ratzenburger's voice pulled me out of the movie because it was so darn recognizeable. I'm just glad they put it in early......

I did notice that the 3D made it darker, but the effects were worth it for me.

I'll list the Pixar films in my order of preference:

1) Toy Story

2) Monsters, INC.

3) Toy Story 2

4) Ratatouille

5) UP

6) WALL-E

7) Cars

8) The Incredibles

9) Finding Nemo

10) Bug's Life

This is purely my preference and has nothing to do with the quality of the film. Oh, and we have to wait a year before Toy Story 3 comes out.

I thought Up was wonderful. The first fifteen minutes or so, were beautiful. I couldn't help but get weepy. And unlike, Wall-E the story didn't fall apart during the last third of the movie. I still think Toy Story II is the best Pixar film. Up may be third (after The Incredibles) but I will have to wait until I see it again.
