Review of Tomorrowland (2015) by Wes A — 22 Oct 2015

Disney's Tomorrowland is a well-done and creative production with a unique and interesting concept. This sci/fi movie unfolds with Frank Walker (George Clooney) talking to the camera as the narrator from the future, and comes back to the same clip at the end. This was a good call by Brad Bird, as it plays out really nicely. There is a lot going on a first- in the first part of the beginning of the movie, you see Walker's childhood, specifically, his experience at the 1964 World Fair in New York City. Here, Walker tries to submit his invention, but is turned down. He meets Athena, and she gives him a pin and tells him to follow her into another dimension, known as Tomorrowland. Fast forward and we are with Casey Newton (Brit Robertson), another main character. She mysteriously receives the same pin that lets her see Tomorrowland when she touches it. The story becomes very intriguing from this point on.

Tomorrowland is yet another apocalypse earth film- don't worry, it's still a kid's movie. Disney makes the end of the world a little happier and less detrimental, hence its PG rating, so it can still be watched by families. Aimed at kids, there is a lot of action, adventure and comedy. Tomorrowland is very entertaining and has a good message, as well.

The costumes and set are fantastic, perfectly matching the time periods and culture. CGI is put to use in a stunning way, you'll definitely want to see this on a big screen! With Tomorrowland's large budget, there are numerous sets and changes in costumes. Kids, in particular, will love them- in fact, so much that they'll want to go there. Luckily for them, Tomorrowland is based off of one of Disney's region parks in Disney World, called Tomorrowland. If you're expecting exactly what you saw in the movie, though, you might be a little disappointed.

The acting in Disney's Tomorrowland was very well directed as well. The characters are serious for the most part, with some still humor. You can get a lot out of the movie by the dialogue, the script was well written, funny in a clever way.

In every movie, there are pros and cons. While overall Tomorrowland was a great production, it lacks relativity and everything plays out too well. Also, for the group this movie is aimed at, it is a little confusing- with jumping back and forth in the storyline and moving pretty fast. Other than these minor flaws, that's about it.

I recommend Disney's Tomorrowland and I'm telling you, you won't be disappointed. With an interesting concept, great image, and beautifully put together plot, you'll definitely want to see this amazing motion picture.
