Ultimately, the elevation of technology to center stage, and the relegation of humankind to supporting act, left me cold.
Daily Telegraph (Australia)
A visual tonic of a film, wise enough to give its audience plenty of space.
The Australian
A rich and provocative work of art that manages to be fun.

If anyone doubted that Pixar is the most creative outfit in modern motion pictures, this movie should convince them. It is a genuine masterpiece, a word I don't use often.
Sunday Mail (Australia)
It's a credit to the animators that they were able to create believable emotions in these beeping hunks of computer-generated metal.

FILMINK (Australia)
What transpires is a delightful and almost heartbreakingly tender love story between these two expressive and adorable characters.
Hollywood Report Card
Despite an intriguing story, the picture falls from Art to the realm of kiddy-film fare. I'd have loved to see Pixar limit the dialogue to two words: Eva and Wall-E.

Urban Cinefile
In what must be a tongue in cheek nod to his Antipodean origins, writer/director Andrew Stanton has named the CEO of By N Large, Shelby Forthright (the only genuine human seen in the film)
Urban Cinefile
Wonderfully inventive, this whimsical sci-fi animation from the wizards at Pixar is topical in its environmental message and full of heart when it comes to its robot/ droid romance. Brilliant execution
The Scorecard Review
Saving the world became secondary to the power of holding hands. There is an amazing amount of life and humanity throughout and a quality message to boot.

That's the beauty of Pixar, behoden only to its own quality standards, it can still play the part of the child prodigy whose creative genius appears to have no boundaries.

Praise Pixar for trying to raise the stakes, but the longer the film goes on the more one appreciates the impact of that amazing first half-hour.

It's probably not right for a greying moviegoer to love a robot, but each R2D2-type beep, rattle and eye roll makes him even more irresistible.
Daily Mirror [UK]
Oddly, the humans have a lot less personality than the machines and the more time we spend in their company, the less fun the film becomes.
Daily Mail [UK]
It is indeed a hard movie to explain, but a good story told well transcends any age even without words.
