Muy buena a decir verdad. Los personajes se sienten muy vivos, los paisajes bellos y la historia esta bien. Sin embargo, es una película que se desarrolla muy lentamente, por lo que no a todo el mundo le agradará.

Now, sure, it's definetely one of Pixar's best movies, but it doesn't reach the same level of storytelling brilliance like The Incredibles, Wall-E, Ratatouille or Monsters, Inc (also from Pete Docter, the director of this movie) but it is still a great film.

The main problem with UP is the sudden tonal shift after the opening. I LOVE the opening, like most people. I think it's brilliantly told and with the brilliant score by Michael Giacchino, and it's one of my favorite sequences in film animation, but after that, the tone shifted almost entirely.

What I'm referring to is that the opening feels like a mature, art-house like story, but after that intro it just turns into your typical family friendly comedy adventure film. It almost feels like the opening was written and directed by someone else. I've said the word "opening" a lot now, but okay, let's move on. What about the rest of the movie? Well, the movie does have heart. It still tries to avoid "talking down to its audience" and presents a well told story with cute underlying messages. The movie wastes time at points introducing unexpected subplots, because, I guess the writers thought that they needed a threat/villain. Granted, I was never bored, the movie is still fun to watch and I was invested to see Carl accomplishing what he promised.

The characters are a mixed bag. I love Carl and his development, his changes, his personality, all feel justified. Russell was annoying at first and he made some really dumb choices for no reason, but I guess that he was okay, he isn't a terrible character, and I guess that they did a good job in representing a naïve, immature child without being unwatchable. Charles Muntz was...Alright I guess. I mean his actions do make sense considering his motivations. The score by Michael Giacchino is brilliant, the animation is still impressive, the cinematography and shot composition are still pretty good. I mean it does have a lot of redeeming qualities, despite the sudden change in tone after the opening ends.

Overall, UP is an entertaining family film with a lot of heart and effort put into it, with a well told story with mature underlying themes, though it could've been a more emotional, art-house like story.That opening promised so much.… Expand

Ci sono due momenti all'interno del film che sono semplicemente incredibili: la sequenza solo musicata di 4 minuti all'inizio del film e la scena appena prima del terzo atto. Ma il resto? Divertente, ben ritmato, con un villain molto interessante e tempi comici che mi hanno fregato più di una volta. Ma con questo non spicca null'altro, se non il finale che è fin troppo sopra le righe e incoerente per il film, è parliamo di un vecchietto che decolla per il Sud America con una casa mantenuta in aria con dei palloncini.

Consigliato? Sì.… Expand

Ellie is more talkative andUP" movie is romantic and adventurous movie. The characters in this movie are Carl Fredrickson, Ellie, Russel, Kevin, Dug, Charles Muds. Fredrickson plays main role where he is introvert, shy, kind, personality
Ellie is more talkative and expressive
Russel belongs to social model, he was very funny and helpful. There ar so many learning outcomes in this movie, some of them that I recognized are, 1. Effective utilization of resources: (a)Fredrickson utilizes chocolate very well in the right time even he don't eat chocolates
(b) Dug uses that cap kind of thing to caught the dog when it was in danger
(c) Fredrickson uses window curtains as wings that also helpful for flight
(d) Russel when he goes for helping Kevin, he uses air blower that helpful for accelerating speed in required direction. 2. Here I also noticed something like unutilization of resources
(a) When the floating house is at high altitude with no movement, he cuts some strings of ballon to make floating house moves towards downwards
(b) When the floating house can't able to move, he throws down all the belongings in his house to reduce the weight of the house

3. Fredrickson's skills were amazing that he just uses huge number of ballons for flight, magnetic compass for showing direction and controller for turning. 4. Fredrickson was so emotional towards his wife, even just photo frame of his wife falls he can't see it. Though he was so much emotional, when he was helping kevin he didn't so much regret about it and then he replies it's just house, so any man can change with respect to circumstances that he faces in life. 4. Dug considers Fredrickson as his master, because every one needs to have a teacher to guide and goals to reach to make our lives beautiful. 5. In Charles Mudds character, even he may be correct in his perspective, he should analyze what would be done to achieve it having some values and ethics

6. Every one is unique in nature, behavior. But we should try to be complulsive so that with respect to the situation we have to face it in effective manner

7. Also, at the climax, they didn't have a plan how to save Kevin, but also they managed to save Kevin that is only because of their commitment

8. After watching this movie, I feel like writing diary with small dreams, adventures, endeavors.… Expand

I remember seeing the first teaser for Up and feeling very confused about what this movie was going to be.

When I sat down in that theatre and watched it for the first time I was very surprised and delighted at another touching and fun PIXAR movie and that is exactly how I would describe this movie. The opening especially is probably one of the best things PIXAR has ever done. It absolutely rips your heart out, similarly to the way Finding Nemo opens. The rest of the movie is an incredible adventure movie, which is surprising considering what the first ten minutes were, but the adventure elements are really good and exciting. If the rest of the movie had the same quality that the first ten minutes did then this movie would probably be PIXAR's best. I know a lot of people that put this as their favorite PIXAR film, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that, but it probably is one of their best pictures. The characters are really great, the humor lands very well, it's exciting when it needs to be, heartfelt when it needs to be, and the animation of course is incredible. The score by Giacchino is absolutely worthy of its Oscar win, although I do wish he won for his scores for Incredibles and Ratatouille because I like those scores a little better than this one. Up is another PIXAR masterpiece with a tear-jerking opening as well as fun adventure elements.… Expand

One of the best opening of all time, the montage can make everyone tear up, with the soundtrack from the one and only Michael Giacchino, Up (2009) may be Pixar best works. The story is heart-warming, touching, compelling.

The movie is both funny and emotional, with an incredible soundtrack that perfectly captures the tone of each scene. The characters, particularly the lovable and grumpy old man Carl and his unlikely sidekick Russell, are so well-developed and relatable that you can't help but root for them every step of the way.

I guess one of the reasons was that it was inspiring and adventurous. Watching it again now, I am surprised that I liked the movie so much because it dealt with subjects that are difficult for children.

The movie is darker than other Pixar movies. For example, think of the villains in Pixar movies before this one. Sid in Toy Story is just a naughty kid who is rough with his toys. In the case of Wally's Auto, he was just following orders. Cars and Finding Nemo never had anyone who could be considered a villain in the first place. Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc. had villains, but they were characters set up for children's enjoyment, not reality. They are bugs and monsters, after all. On the other hand, Charles Muntz in this film is not a perfect villain, but he is a realistic villain. He does not antagonize Carl and his friends when they arrive, but instead smiles and invites them to join him in a friendly manner after saying the cliché. He is just a kindly old man until he changes. He has been obsessed with keeping the Paradise Falls monster alive, which has led him to hunt down Karl and his friends, but, improbably, would Muntz have gone that crazy if Karl and his friends had handed over the Paradise Falls monster (Kevin)?

Another thing that can be called dark is the bonfire scene. I don't think the term "family situation" is applicable to a child of about six years old.
Overall, the film seemed dark and adult-oriented.

Let me talk about the structure of Pixar films. Most of the films have an easy-to-understand explanation. But what about this film? There is almost no dialogue during the first five minutes of the film, and the message is conveyed through music, images, and the facial expressions of the characters, and yet the film moves you to tears.

Everything is excellent throughout the film, and although it is very packed with content, it is well put together and yet not boring. This is an animated film that adults should definitely see. Especially the first five minutes, which is probably the best opening to a movie ever.… Expand
