This is an Oscar-winning short with an unusual and unexpected ending. Even without the ending, it is a film worth watching. I find it very similar to the scenes in "To Fly!" (1976) where a man soars in a balloon over the countryside of the Eastern U.S. However, in Up, you are soaring over the Western U.S. using a different and more modern means of transport. The views are those that you simply cannot get from ground level allow you to float like a very high-flying butterfly or, more appropriately, a high flying bird. I recommend this movie for its scenic views, although the ending can be a basis for discussion. Pyramid Media offers this for sale and rent. Unlike many of the films they distribute, this one has a somewhat reasonable price.

I really enjoyed seeing this movie and I plan to purchase it. This is a film that shows some incredible flying and wonderful scenery. It is only 14 minutes long so even non pilots can manage to stay interested. Keep in mind that the aircraft shown is much more primitive than modern hang gliders. If you are a pilot, especially if you fly unpowered aircraft, you will be amazed at the capabilities of the pilot. If you are interested in the history of unpowered aircraft you will enjoy this film. If you do not fly but enjoy outdoor adventure you might still enjoy the movie. If you do not fly, are not interested in unpowered aircraft, and are not interested in outdoor adventure, I am sorry for you.
