Review of Tomorrowland (2015) by Mackenzie K — 22 Oct 2015

Tomorrowland is directed and co-written by Brad bird. Tomorrowland is Bird's second live action film, after Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol. Each one of his films is original and satisfying. Tomorrowland provided a sense of adventure and ambition to the viewer.

However, the execution of the movie hit rock bottom. The film started out with an awkward close up of George Clooney's face. As the movie progresses it starts to feel out of control, flashing from the past into what is currently going on. The movie becomes very hard to follow, making the viewer want to stop watching the movie.

Tomorrowland consist of four main characters. The movie makes it very difficult for the viewer to comprehend who are the antagonists and who are the protagonists. Characters are also referred to back when they were kids, distracting the viewer form the main point Bird is attempting to make.

Tomorrowland gives the reader a sense that it is attempting to be other films that are already in existence. I am not sure if Bird's intentions for this movie were trying to be a "copy-cat, "but by doing this, the viewer's mind trailed off, starting to think about other movies.

The dialogue created a sense of shut down mode on the human brain. Bird's complicated script created a lack of attention span for multiple viewers. Bird dragged out the pint he was trying to make through the whole movie, by delaying the start of central action. Bird's call to action seemed to be lost. Nothing ever seemed to flow into one another, creating a choppy effect to the movie.

The whole idea or inspiration and thought process for this movie was overall unique and creative, but Bird lacked in areas throughout the movie that are critical to properly capture the viewer's attention.
