| Do not listen to the critics on this one! A vastly under-appreciated tale of promise and hope. (by seannasuti) |
| This film deserved so much more than what it got, both critically and commercially, when it debuted back in May, where unfortunately it ended up becoming one of the year's biggest box-office bombs. From the mind of one of today's greatest directors, Brad Bird, the same great filmmaker that gave us some of the best animated films of all-time like 'The Iron Giant' and 'The Incredibles' and the best 'Mission Impossible' film to date in 'Ghost Protocol', 'Tomorrowland' is an inspiring original story that above all promotes the two things that have <more> |
| A fantastic sci-fi experience (by niall-roche) |
| I very rarely write reviews for movies, but after watching Tomorrowland I've never seen a movie that's been so unfairly maligned by negative reviews,especially considering that this movie was an absolute joy from beginning to end. After watching it, and reading truly horrible, reviews I'm starting to think that somebody hired a few live bodies to slate this movie for their own specific reasons. The script, actors and directors captured the feeling of endless possibilities perfectly. The FX were fantastic, there were no lulls in the plot, George Clooney did his thing perfectly, the <more> |
| Why do people hate this movie? (by sheldonchorta) |
| Don't listen to the haters giving this movie ones and twos, because this movie is phenomenal! This was my favorite Disney movieĀ before Inside Out came out then it became my number two favorite . The characters are nice and fun with just enough screen time and character development to make them likable. The story: Brad Bird's GREATEST PREMISE since a Superhero family! The world is going to end because someone has implanted that idea into everyone's heads. So it is up to a girl with a great imagination and determination to save it. But the twist is the bad guy in this movie <more> |
| Totally misunderstood (by Shortreviews) |
| I can't believe the bad reviews. I also can't believe that nobody understood what they accomplished with this film. It's Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged! They managed to take that book and bring it up to date while making it accessible to all ages. That is a fantastic feat in and of itself. To also make it really entertaining is extraordinary. Cerebral and action packed, it holds the attention of the young right to the end. And the end? The film was the pin that showed the audience what could be if only we don't give up and just make things better. Atlas Shrugged and then asked <more> |
| Misunderstood (by tsoderlu) |
| This movie is misunderstood, I'm writing my first review with the hope to increase understanding and appreciation of it. Lose your expectations and watch it as it is, an adventure. Think about the things you see, analyze them. Don't expect to be on the edge of your seat all the time from exciting action, it takes a back seat after the beginning.. which the trailer seems to mostly contain and make a false picture of the film. My opinion.. I try and keep this spoiler free.While perhaps expecting a little more awe scenes, action and insight into the "tomorrowland" society the <more> |
| A spectacular Disney sci-fi thrill ride (by mhol111964-754-567942) |
| I went and saw this with an open mind because of the mixed response, and I must say I had a blast.The story is unique, creative and quite compelling. It is original science fiction which we do not get too often. The film is inspired by the Disney park, but at the same time, it's more of it's own thing.It is well acted and the characters are quite likable and believable. Frank Walker is interesting, entertaining and has a sense of humor. Casey is also an interesting character. I think George Clooney and Britt Robertson portrayed their leading roles very well.The film is also quite <more> |
| Upbeat positive story for the whole family. (by dtiekster) |
| I looked forward to this movie since seeing the trailers. The stunning visual of Britt Roberts transported to an other worldly place, then George Clooney asking "do you want to go?". Seriously? Heck yea! Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic, but I enjoy stories that hold out the promise of adventure mixed with hope and some genuine magic. I was not disappointed. Tomorrowland hit all the right points with me--adventure, mystery, characters to love and root for, surprise story twists, laugh out loud moments, and, the best magic of all, hope. Saw it twice, second time with grand kids. I <more> |
| Maybe a bit childish but enjoyable sci-fi tale none the less. (by jpkwolf) |
| A bit uneven and too long It takes the movie about 30 minutes to really kick into gear . Otherwise I enjoyed the plot of slowly figuring out what is Tomorrowland and what's the purpose behind it all. So it's not a perfect film but a long way from the failure it's made out to be. Brad Bird doesn't disappoint.I have read quite a lot of negative comments about this movie and even its message and I find that to be slightly odd. From saying science should only concentrate on inventions instead of research to being annoyingly preachy. God forbid if a movie has a message these days <more> |
| Well worth recommending... (by A_Different_Drummer) |
| Aside from a few scenes that seem out of place, and some bizarre edits which should never have made it to the final cut, this is a surprisingly complex film but also a very consistently entertaining one.The high points to this reviewer at least 1. There is an ongoing 'inside joke" in the script about the "pin" being part of a commercial or an advertisement which was cancelled. Although this is part of the plot it is also true that the name of the film -- TOMORROWLAND -- is itself a giant ad for the Disney machine, and, lest we forget, Disney is a mega-corporation, one of <more> |
