It’s little secret that Blu-rays of Pixar films are among the finest demo material you can lay your hands on for a half-decent home cinema set-up. But perhaps Up is the most impressive of all.
The film itself is outstanding, and only the second to snare a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards. Telling the story of 78-year old Carl Fredericksen as he embarks, along with boy scout Russell, on a journey he promised his late wife he’d always take, it’s a stunning piece of work. Most memorable is one of the most moving sequences ever committed to animation, which hits you in the film’s first ten minutes, but there’s still plenty to keep you enthralled after that.
One of the most striking features of Up is just how visually arresting it is. The visuals crackle with exceptional levels of detail here, with a broad palette of colours shining through on the stunning 1080p video transfer. This really is reference-quality work, and just from a home cinema demonstration point of view, Up is a flat-out must buy.
But it’s more than that. It’s also one of the most ambitious, at-times original and boldest films to come out of Hollywood in recent times. When most other animation studios are content to stuff their films with cute animals and star names, Pixar continues to take risks, and while Up isn’t a perfect ride, it’s not too far off. A wonderful film, brilliantly transferred to Blu-ray. --Simon Brew

I won't tell you the plot of this film and ruin it for you - CAREFUL - there are lots on here that do just that.
But I would like to share with you the fantastic experience my family had watching this at the cinema.
I (a slightly cynical 47 year old man) cried in the first ten minutes, was amazed and delighted in the next ten, almost split my sides at the affectionate, very real (but simultaneously very surreal!) depiction of dogs, lost myself in the adventure and tension and completely forgot time.
At times, my kids (6 and 8) almost lost bladder control with laughter and sat at the edge of their seats from start to finish.
As I said, Delightful, Moving, Funny, Exciting and Inspiring.
One of Pixar's best; does praise come higher than that?

'Up' merely cememts Pixar's reputation as the most intelligent and innovative film studio of the moment. From the incredible opening 10 minutes, destined to be a cinematic classic for ever, to the touching final scene, I was completely and utterly entranced.
A film for all ages and one that perfectly sums up the love and laughter that only the very greatest films can manage to pull of.

I bought this film for my grandchildren, ages 8 - 13. A few days later, I was told by my daughter-in-law that they had all watched the film and loved it. She was including herself and a visiting 3 year old. The amazing thing was that they had all shed tears at various points! Surely this is an example of a perfect film - lots of laughs and a few tears - even in a cartoon.

A classic in every respect.
There are not many films which start off on a sad note (yup - definitely some sort of irritation in the air that made my eyes a bit moist) but end up giving so much pleasure.
And....my 3 year old son was enthralled throughout.

This movie has the best beginning ever. Period.
And if your not in tears by the first ten minutes then theres something wrong with you.
But, at the same time, this movie is also tremendously funny, happy and meaningful for all ages. There were times of intense laughter and sadness but this movie is ultimantly incredible.
Pixar produces THE best animated movies.
A bold, but true, statement.
And this is up there with Ratatouille, The Incredibles and Toy Story.
The Blu-Ray quality is breathtaking, the colours are vibrant and the sound is crisp and clear, the bonus features are also really entertaining and informative.
Buy this now!

All Pixar movies are awesome and Up is no exception. Whilst at a lecture by a pixar employee down at the develop conference this year, I was reminded of all the great moments their movies have brought to us over the years. The Pixar facility looks like a very nice place to work. I also like the fact that Pixar choose to do most of their work in Maya. Maya is an awesome application and the fact that Pixar have integrated their own rendering engine 'RenderMan' into the software is great. I noticed from some of the screenshots at Andrew Dayton's lecture that they use Linux. He did also mention that some employees where using max or houdini for some things as well. Compositing allows this kind of integration to be possible.
Technology aside, the storyline in this movie is awesome. Carl Fredricksen, the old man, reminds me very much of somebody I know from the village where I live. I suppose the stories he tells me about becoming a widow just like Carl does in Up, is the reason that the ending to the movie brought a tear to my eye. I don't recommend reading much about the plot, just trust me in believing that this story is very cool, and true to life. Definately a must see.

This was a brilliant film. You expected the amazing animation and beautiful imagery, but what took me aback was the impact of the story.
This is back to old-school disney. It really wrenches at the heart before delivering a very uplifting message.
Smaller kids won't get the gravitas of the message (it hits home for adults big time) but they will enjoy the film for it's humour and fun.
It will take me a while to muster the courage to watch this again, but it is a wonderful film.

Love this film. Watching in Hi-Def is always a good experience, but Pixar films for me just make it the best experience ever. I've got all the Pixar releases and what I love about them is the child-to-adult humour, the quality of animation (being an animator myself) and the quality storylines. Can't wait for Toy Story 3.
