totally360. com Reviews WALL-E

Humanity has finally reached the nadir of its consumerist ways. With the mighty Buy 'n' Large corporation now owning most of the planet's wealth (no accident that their logos are the same colour as Tescos then) and with Earth little more than a giant dumping ground for all the broken mobile phones, rusted cars and junked white goods we no longer need where is there left to turn but space?

So Buy 'n' Large sponsor a massive operation to put every human being on the planet aboard luxurious space liners, until Earth can be cleansed by a brace of Waste Allocation Load Lifters (Earth Class) – WALL-Es.

The five year mission turns into a 700 year exodus for mankind, leaving the robots behind to mindlessly continue in their quest to clean up the planet. One such robot, the titular WALL-E is left alone so long that he develops sentience.
