"Up" is another solid Pixar film, though I thought it dragged a bit for me. I did enjoy the build-up of the relationship between the old man and Russell (the kid needing to help an elder to get a patch to be promoted to next Explorer class). Sometimes I notice the heartstrings being tugged on by the writing, so it wasn't as heartfelt as I'm accustomed to with a Pixar film, or perhaps I'm just more atuned to how they set up scenes to get the emotional payoff they are shooting for in the story.
Anyhow, kids and adults will enjoy the film on different levels. The 3D presentation is very engaging and doesn't call attention to itself, it simply adds to the immersive viewing experience.
I give it 3.5 stars, or a grade of B+.
