Tomorrowland
Directed by Brad Bird
Screenplay by Brad Bird; Damon Lindelof; and Jeff Jensen
Starring: George Clooney; Britt Robertson; Raffey Cassidy; Tim McGraw; and Hugh Laurie
A young teenage science wiz (Robertson) and a older former teenage science wiz (Clooney), with the help of a, well I do not know what she is (Cassidy), fight to get to Tomorrowland for some reason.
It is early in the summer movie season and I have found the first major disappointment!!
Let me get the positives out of the way. Britt Robertson for the second film this year (The Longest Ride) shows that she is near the top of our bright young actresses today. Raffey Cassidy...wow...I have never seen her before but amazingly she acts circles around Clooney.
I also like that in the screenplay the brilliant science mind is a teenage female which is rare in films today where the teenage girl is sexed up and a little loose.
Now the bad. Brad Bird....(Incredibles and Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol) missed here and should be kind of ashamed that he let Disney misrepresent a movie, and he has to have some pull at Disney. Shame!
Do you want to see Tomorrowland like in the posters and in the trailer? Well don't miss the first 10 minutes because that is it. Sucker!!! That is right, the Tomorrowland in the posters is only in the beginning and later on you see it and it is much different. You want to take your children? Go ahead if you want them to see police officers get disintegrated into dust. Or let them try to figure out the plot which is way over their heads and they will get bored because the last half hour is a lecture on what the film is about. Adults you want to see this? Be prepared for really bad green screen work and be prepared to be lectured because what this film is all about is an agenda to tell you how lazy and fat you are and how the world is coming to an end soon because of that.
I detest this movie. I had a pass but I felt bad for the people who paid for this lecture. I did get my answer on why George Clooney would do a Disney kid movie...because he has an agenda....and not to get to political on a review but if George gives up his giant yacht or his private plane then he can come back and then he has some grounds to lecture us on being lazy and not caring. Other than that shut up. And they try to soften the lecture by using children and kind of saying your parents suck so it is up to you. Great!!! Glad I people paid to watch that.
1 1/2 stars out of 5 for this garbage and that is just because of Robertson and Cassidy. Do not go watch it, if you want to see it wait for home viewing.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
