Review of Tomorrowland (2015) by Healingtoolbox1 — 28 May 2015

Think of it more like a poem or an essay. It's adequate but not remarkable three act structure is most thrown away in favor of many, many wonderful moments, perfectly captured by a masterful director on a labor of love.

I liked it much more than most critics. The most optimistic movie I can think of since Field of Dreams 25 years ago. Nlot quite a visionary movie, not quite a spiritual movie, however if you like Brad Bird, see it. This is great directing in so many ways. He gets uncanny performances out of Clooney and Raffey Cassidy. Cassidy is likely to become a star based on the performance Bird gets out of her here.

The plot features many ironic turns and meta-comments that keep it alive thru most of its run. At the end the villain delivers what is usually the hero's or heroine's speech and this worked well for me. The effects are amazing and top-level all around. At $190 million, much of that is up on the screen for sure.
