It starts with childhood of Carl Fredricksen and his future wife Ellie. They both are fans of famous explorer Charles Muntz. Muntz is accused of fabricating the skeleton of a giant bird which he allegedly discovered in Paradise Falls, South America.
Carl and Ellie grow older unable to have children. They save money for the trip to Paradise Falls, but every time use them for more necessary needs. Elderly Carl arranges the trip, but Ellie does not make it. She dies leaving him alone. In my opinion this is the most sensitive part of film. I felt extremely sad for Carl, for his loss and loneliness.
After some time, we see Carl’s house surrounded by construction sites. He watches the world changing around him much like Walt in "Gran Torino". Carl refuses to sell his house and attacks construction worker for damaging his mailbox.
The court orders him to move to a retirement house. Carl fills thousands of helium balloons overnight turning his house into a flying ship and starts his trip to Paradise Falls. Russell, small explorer boy becomes an accidental passenger. This is where their adventure begins.
The film is fabulous. It is a remarkable great watch in the company of friends and family.
Reviewer's rating: 7.5 out of 10
