My reaction
Synopsis: a trash-compacting robot falls in love
How I saw it: in the theater, June 2008; on video several times (have on DVD)
Concept: Great. It is a bit strange that I seem to be the target audience; someone making a movie that is exactly the movie I want to see is pretty much the last thing I would have expected to ever happen.
Story: Great.
Characters: Great.
Dialog: Great.
Pacing: Great.
Cinematography: Great.
Special effects/design: Great.
Acting: Great.  Who needs actors when you've got a sound designer and an assistant producer?
Music: Great.
Subjective Rating: 10/10 (Favorite of my favorites). Amazing. Probably the perfect movie.
Objective Rating: 4.0/4 4.1/4 (Great).
