Migrant, WALL-E is effectively a polemic against laziness and commercialism, so no. Also, the first half is the best silent film since the heyday of Buster Keaton.

Zach, Raimi may think that, but the film doesn't flatly state it. I think most reasonable viewers would conclude that the punishment is disproportionate to the crime. As the film never says otherwise, we are free to disagree with Raimi's interpretation.
Everyone who complains about the third act of I Am Legend needs to remember that the first act includes a car commercial and a CG lion. It was never a good movie.
I though Extract's ending was in keeping with the rest of the film. Kind of a shrug of an ending for kind of a shrug of a movie. (That's not to say it was a bad ending or a bad movie.)
The last act of Minority Report is corny and incoherent. Characters undergo almost instantaneous personality changes: Cruise's wife suddenly realizes that she loved her husband all along or some such nonsense; Von Sydow begins behaving like a cartoon villain.

You are absolutely right. Beautiful film, though.
You're absolutely right.
I read it as the last pale echo of humanity through its art, which could never effectively capture the essence of the human experience. But I like your reading too, Balls.
Too Many Great Movies Mentioned Here:
Drag Me to Hell and The Fly end, in my opinion, perfectly, as does A.I. Funny People meanders to its close, but its last act is vital to the film's themes.
It's Kubrick's story. I also think it's an utterly brilliant, intellectually and emotionally devastating ending. But I've said enough about the film elsewhere on these boards.
I just signed up for it, because it seems mystifying and dangerous to me, but:

Tolstoy's not "literary" enough for you, Ghaleon?
