UP, the animated feature from Pixar, is a wonderfully touching film, probably best seen in 3-D, although it doesn't have missles flying at the screen.  It begins with the story of  Carl and the adventuresome Ellie, getting together in what looks like the 30's or 40's.  It then takes up when Carl is an old man, now alone except for the annoying (to him) Wilderness Explorer, Russell, who needs just one more badge, that of Helping the Elderly.  Just what Carl doesn't want, or need.  Carl decides on one more adventure, which will help him escape the encroaching skyscrapers bearing down on the house he and Ellie once renovated.  UP is an amazing movie, bringing together generational concerns as well as individual reflections on what it means to grow up after you've grown old.  There may be, indeed, late blooms, prolific and beautiful.
