Review of Escape from Tomorrow (2013) by Michael M — 20 Jul 2014

Ambitious yet disappointing. Escape From Tomorrow was interesting from the opening scene, but that potential was diminished once the plot showed it's true colors. This film was incredibly strange and with every scene, it gets amazingly stranger.

It's extremely difficult to describe this film, it's quite possibly the weirdest film I have ever see . The movie is undeniably bold and courageous and wildly engrossing, but that is mainly due to the fact that the film is attacking Disney, and by the end of this film, the way "EFT" was filmed feels more like a huge marketing stunt.

The acting in this film is hard to explain as well, at one point it's great, at another point it's atrocious, and at another it's meteocre, it was totally unbalanced and strange. The cinematography is the same way, some times it's great, sometimes it's not so great.

The saving grace in the film was undeniably Abel Korzeniowski's score. Managing to be both dark and delightful, Korzeniowski's compositions are absolutely breathtaking and truly stylish. Besides it's brilliant score, there isn't much I enjoyed about this film, it's extremely confusing and absurdly convoluted.

It's not exactly worth watching, it's a perfect example of wasted potential. Despite it's extremely interesting premise and it's even more interesting style of filmmaking, this film in the end just feels like a bad acid trip.
