"UP" gets off to an amazing start with probably the best 40 minutes Pixar has ever concieved, but as soon as the film reached South America, I felt it just didn't work as well as the first half or so promised. It just became too conventional and fell just shy of greatness which w...( read more)

Critic Reviews
For family audiences looking for heart and laughs , 'Up' soars above the rest as the funniest film of the summer. full review
Its charms appear to have been applied with surgical precision; by the end, I felt expertly sutured, but not much else. full review
To watch Up with any attention is to be moved and astonished by the economy with which specific visuals are invested with emotion throughout. full review
Up is a breathtaking ride into the realm of pure imagination. Up shames the pap that now passes for family entertainment (yes, Night at the Museum 2, I'm talking to you). full review
From the title onward, Up is a stratospheric success. It's guaranteed to lift your spirits, and not with a pushy DreamWorks-style gag reel of celebrity voices and committee-processed one-liners. full review
Easily the summer's, and probably the year's, most enchanting movie, Up is a buoyant delight. full review

All this deflated cinema and Pixarism mischaracterizes what good animation can be (as in Coraline, Monster House, Chicken Little, Teacher's Pet, The Iron Giant). Up's aesthetic failure stems from its ... full review
The look of Up is a world away from Pixar's usual CGI intricacies -- simple in a way that only artists with a genius for complexity can achieve. full review
