Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the movie! In the beginning was happy start and then sad. Later became adventurous.

Pixar does a wonderful job with this film. They normally do, but this one goes beyond. The beginning is an emotional tale that leaves you wanting the best for Carl. I have watched each individual Pixar film, and animated films from all over, and I don’t believe there is a more emotional story to be told through animation than this. There is a Carl in all of us at some point in our lives. As a child, he sees his role model living out his dreams and fantasies, wanting nothing more than to one day be that person going on those adventures. He eventually gets married and a job, but throughout his life, that dream is still in the back of his head. After a life of disappointment, he finally has had enough and goes on his trip, with an unexpected twist, he brought along a little boy scout whose father had not been there for him much. You might say, ‘This all sounds sad for an animated film, especially Pixar and Disney.’ This movie is also very funny as all Pixar films, and in the end, you will be happy you watched it. I won’t say more, because the movie speaks for itself. I only hope Pixar will be able to follow up this accomplishment with the release of their next movie.

Bought for my son. Fun adventure kids movie. Great value.

Classic movie. Loved having it in 3 different formats

This is a great movie, certainly worthy of it's Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. Up follows the life of Carl Frederickson from his years as a young boy dreaming of adventure through his married life (this was told through a brilliantly executed montage# to his later years as a lonely widower #where the story picks up#. Carl sets off for South America by tying ballons to his house but he has an unexpected stowaway in the form of a talkative Wilderness Explorer named Russel. Carl and Russel, and a dog named Dug, have an exciting and suspenseful adventure in the wilds of Venezuela and along the way, we see that Carl and Russel both have voids in thier lives. This is yet another case where PIXAR takes an unusual premise and executes it brilliantly. The animation is astounding, some of the best I've ever seen on the big screen. Everything is so expertly drawn and beautifully animated. #it's a PIXAR movie, what do you expect?) The colors of the rainforest and the wildlife are rich and vibrant, it gives you the feeling of being there. The extras include featurettes on the research trip to Venezuela the PIXAR guys took with some insights on the conditions and wildlife in the area as well as a look at some of the process of making the movie itself. It also has the animated shorts 'Presto' and 'Dug's Special Adventure'. The Blu-Ray also has an interactive game where you can earn your Wilderness Explorer badge. Up really shines on Blu-Ray. The HD transfer puts everything in sharp focus and all the details come out beautifully. This is one movie that really deserves to be seen in High Defenition. Up is perfect family viewing. Something all-ages can enjoy. Highly recommended.

If you're buying Blu-ray, Pixar movies are simply the best. Between Wall-E, Cars, Monsters, Inc., A Bug's Life, and Ratatouille, I don't think any other studio comes even close to offering you a clearer picture and better sound. This movie is very touching, and you will enjoy the adventure they take you on for 96 minutes. The characters are endearing and charming. Even though the main character is a somewhat bitter old man, they make it clear that even at an old age, one can manage to grow. Pixar always manages to make a film that appeals to adults and kids...and that's VERY difficult. We've asked several children what they remember about the movie. Many of them remember the little things like the dog, Doug, yelling "Squirrel!" and little jokes here and there. You may find the subtle things to be where the movie succeeds. I for one love the handprint on the mailbox, and the wonderful continuity of the grape soda pin. Also, not to give anything away, but the "married life" montage at the beginning of the movie may be the best 4 minutes you will ever see in any animated film ever. It is emotional, powerful, and brilliantly put together. And actually, upon second viewing, it hit me even harder. I can't recommend this film enough - it's a blast from start to finish.

The 4-disc special is great as you get the blu-ray, dvd, extras, and an actual digital copy. The picture is beautiful. The plot is well developed- both children and adults can easily follow. It has a very nice story line. Overall the movie was very cute even though it dealt with the loss of a loved one. It does so in a way that may actually help some grieving children without throwing other kids into shock. I would recommend this to children (and adults) of all ages.

I thought this movie was fantastic. The characters were a part of the story, and even though they're weird, it makes it wonderful. I almost cried when Ellie and passed and here's Karl trying to figure things out after his wife is gone. It was sweet how he always tried to get that trip to Paradise Falls in before one of them went, but sadly he couldn't. He was a sweet guy, and is even throughout the movie. He may seem rude, and grumpy but he actually cares about Russel, Dug or Kevin the..weird bird. At the end, I was glad that he realized that Ellie's adventure was being with Karl, and that's why when turned around and decided to save everyone important! Lulz. GREAT MOVIE.

Carl Fredrickson: Tell Your Boss, That He Can Have Our House! Construction Worker: Really? Carl Fredrickson: When I'm Dead. Carl Fredrickson Slams The Door While The Construction Worker Thinks About: Wham! Construction Worker Is Still Thinking What Carl Fredrickson Would Say To Him, Next: I'll Take That, As A Maybe.

I'm amazed at how Pixar can consistently put out quality films year after year. They do a really good job of getting you to fall in love with such memorable characters. Although there are quite a few emotional scenes that got me teary-eyed (whether they were sad or heartwarming), it still has a good mix of action and humor. The animation itself was stunning and vibrant, and I highly recommend watching it in digital 3-D. Oh, and I thought Partly Cloudy, the animated short that comes with it, was adorable!

This movie is great for all ages. The story line is great. A love story for the ages in cartoon format. And the vision of how to keep an open heart and follow your dreams, but allow room for changes as they happen. I, as an adult loved the fact that the old man opened his heart to new people and challenges. This is a wonderful movie for all to see.

I went to the movies and saw this in 3D and I didn't get much out of it. I purchased the movie and I still feel that way. Not to say that this is a bad film, no not at all because the company's grace is all over it. I watched the films bonuses and saw how they actually went to South America to get an understanding of the mountains which became paradise falls in the film. I have always respected Pixar for putting certain amounts of realism to their films. That brings me to my next point, Carl shouldn't be in anyway shape or form to perform some of the things he did in the movie. I know, I know its just a movie, but come on the level of strength he shown in the movie is ridiculous. The other thing is that the antagonist should have been dead a long time ago before Carl even began to think he was old. Overall this film is good despite the fact that they should have did something with the aging of the characters. Doug is a funny, very funny character. I say Pixar does it again so go get this one. It is very emotionally driven for the women, action packed for the men and good family fun for the kids.

I'm not going to write about Up itself since there are plenty of reviews about it. The Up Digital Copy has new security than previous Pixar movies. The Digital Copy activation process looked the same but after activated, it showed copying the Digital Copy to the hard drive but only a few seconds later it stopped reading from the DVD disc. There is no file on the hard drive. Checking the Digital Copy DVD, WMV directory, it has zero byte file. There is no way to reactivate or reinstall the Digital Copy once it failed to transfer to the hard drive. Even Disney Q&A site said there's no way to reinstall the Digital Copy. It's like the Digital Copy activation better work the first time or Digital Copy DVD disc becomes an useless piece of plastic. Limiting Digital Copy to one activation per PC is already a joke, but if it fails to install, there's no way to repeat the process is far more than a joke of the value of Digital Copy. Disney needs to understand putting too much security into a product makes it useless.

This is simply Pixar's masterpiece. I cried my eyes out, laughed 'till my sides hurt, and enjoyed every moment of this film. In addition to that, every frame of this BD is reference quality. The textures appear so real you feel like you could reach out and touch 'em. Throw in an Oscar-winning score from Michael Giacchino and you simply have one of the greatest movies ever made. Great packaging and a TON of bonus features make this a no-brainer. ENJOY!!!!!!

This film is another success for Disney/Pixar. Thankfully, they are different than the rest. They come up with original ideas. Beautiful animation. A disappointment-NO GOOD MUSIC. Remember when Disney films had good music/songs? Sure miss those days. Memorable songs? Oscar winning songs? Those were the days. This has the digital copy. Good idea, but I would like to see some different extras like Disney used to. More information on the film, showing more in depth stuff. NO chapter list, you just do NOT get these anymore & I want them. And, Disney/Pixar, why the horrible flip the little flap DVD case/holder? Now, I looked at the single disc DVD & IT DID NOT HAVE THIS HORRIBLE FEATURE, SO WHY DOES THE MORE EXPENSIVE HAVE THIS. Hate them.

Great movie for the young and old. When I saw the preview for this movie I was not interested in seeing it. My daughter wanted to rent it and we did. It is a great movie even for adults. It has everything from laughs to making you want to shed a tear. It has great characters and an awesome storyline. After we rented it we went straight to BestBuy to buy it that is how good this movie is. It is in my top 5 kids movies of all time.

"UP" leaves everybody "up"! The film is chock full of life's truths and teachable moments. Pixar did an astonishing job with the animation. The skyscapes were particularly realisic. I tried for months to get someone--anyone--to accompany me to the theater to view this movie. I ended up getting the Blu-Ray disc with our new home theater. I now have "captive audiences" of friends and grandkids to share a film no one should miss.

We took 250 7th Graders to see UP. Within a short time the kids were captivated and SILENT, that hardly ever happens with middle school students. They laughed, they watched, some had tears, and at the end they applauded. I loved it so much I talked my wife into going to see it with me, and once again, UP hit the mark. It is funny, but it is so heartwarming like no animated feature or few regular films that I have ever seen.

Most importantly, I am very happy that the aspect ration that the movie is in fills the screen. I hate when widescreen bars are on a widescreen tv. It aslo come with a DVD and Digital copy, very nice. The movie itself was good, I wasn't sure what to expect from it. Story is solid with very entertaining and surprising characters. All previous Pixars movies have been great, Up is no different.

Got the blu-ray when it first came out, video and sound quality is excellent, as to be expected from Pixar. Disc One of the blu-ray comes with an audio/visual calibration tools that are very useful in helping to set up your home theater. As for the movie itself, by now you know it is one of the best movies of the year and another movie that kids and adults will enjoy.
