Wall-E

Taking a glimpse into what could be a future illustration of our planet, WALL-E does a great job of portraying the consequences of humanity’s poorly made decisions. It all starts with WALL-E left by himself after the earth was declared unsustainable.

The Axiom, the humans’ new ‘temporary’ home, is a ship somewhere in interstellar space. The vegetation sample was to be taken there for further processing and ultimately to decide if the humans should return to earth or not. Aboard the Axiom, robots and humans are...
