20 Best Sci-Fi Films Of The 21st Century

14. Wall-E

Sunshine Close Up
Pixar

Baby Yoda ain't got nothing on WALL-E, yeah we said it! Pixar seem able to take their hand to absolutely anything and turn it to gold (we don't talk about Cars 2).

WALL-E is so much more than a cutesy animated film though. Throughout WALL-E, the audience are confronted with what may very well become a harsh reality for us as a species if we continue down the path we're currently on. Pixar don't shy away from providing a number of uncomfortable truths for us, without ever running the risk of becoming preachy either.

It is, of course, a beautiful film as well. Even the wasteland that WALL-E calls his home is oddly beautiful, but this is in part due to WALL-E's attitude that it is not, in fact, a wasteland, but to him a gigantic treasure trove of beauty that he cherishes. Like any Pixar film, there are a number of scenes that are, quite honestly, heart breaking and we're happy to admit made us tear up.

What makes WALL-E a cut above the rest, however, is the fact that Pixar manage to make WALL-E endlessly entertaining with little to no dialogue for the vast majority of the film.

Johnny sat by the fire, idly swirling his brandy, flicking through the pages of War and Peace, wondering whether it was pretentious to write his bio in the third person.
