Bird layers on plenty of dazzle... But his heart is what keeps the story motoring and the ending is perfectly engineered, including a coda that encourages all of us to try harder. Read full review

Director Brad Bird deserves praise for packing such big ideas into such an accessible, rip-roaring, retro-futurist adventure. Read full review

At times Tomorrowland plays like such a throwback to those sweetly naive, low-rent, live-action Disney matinees of the '60s and '70s, George Clooney is like a Fred MacMurray with gravitas, gruff and grizzle, predictably warming up to a young dreamer (a terrific Britt Robertson) of cheer and vision.

The thing barely makes a lick of sense. Rapturous on a scene-by-scene basis and nearly incoherent when taken as a whole, the movie is idealistic and deranged, inspirational and very, very conflicted. Read full review

This fantasy adventure lacks focus when it should be laser-sharp, and stumbles when it could soar. Read full review

Tomorrowland is a highly original, occasionally even visionary piece of sci-fi filmmaking, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good movie. Read full review

Joe Williams

May 21, 2015

Disney’s gimmick of naming movies for its theme-park attractions crashes and burns in Tomorrowland, a here-and-now caper that will confuse children, bore adults and offend anyone who’s ever taken a science class. Read full review

A film full of fresh ideas and creativity. Clooney; Laurie and Robertson were played by an incredibly, lovable Raffey Cassidy to the wall. The refreshing dialogues between Clooney and Cassidy makes it to an experience for the whole family. all combined with a litle action and a litle fun.

The movie did a good job of explaining everything. I don't agree with the opinions stating it did a bad job of telling the story of Tomorrowland because it did the job of telling the story of how Tomorrowland ruined the world. Look at it from a child's eyes which is what it was made for. ItThe movie did a good job of explaining everything.

I went into this movie not knowing the plot, not watching the trailers, and not reading any reviews. I wanted to go into this movie looking for a great story and likeable characters and that is exactly what I got. One of the first things you will notice with this movie is that the film looks beautiful and the cinematography is great. Geroge Clooney and Britt Robertson work together in a way that is unparreled in most of the big budget films today, but Tomorrwland is held down by uneven pacing. I will admit that the first and last twenty minutes are boring but not enough to make you disinterested. Ultimately, Tomorrowland fulfills what it was set out to do, bring us an enjoyable Sci-Fi flick fun for the whole family… Expand

A beautiful treat for the eyes. One of this film's strengths is that it regularly dazzles viewers with the exciting things portrayed on film. It really is stunning.

One of this film's strengths is that it regularly dazzles viewers with the exciting things portrayed on film. It really is stunning. Another of the movie's strengths is that it thankfully has some substance to back up all that flash. While perhaps a bit uneven at times, "Tomorrowland" has a nice message and a decent plot to keep people invested until the end.

It's just a shame the characters aren't more interesting. The entire cast is made up of some very talented actors and actresses. I mean heck, it's got George Clooney. Unfortunately the majority of them are playing bland character-types we've all seen before. They lack true depth and are just there to carry the plot forward and get that message across. The only one I cared about was Raffey Cassidy's "Athena." She absolutely steal the show here and outdoes Clooney himself. It's a real treat to see her work.

The "never stop dreaming" message is a good one and is presented in an exciting and fresh manner. There's plenty of action, humor, and heart to be found here. It's just a shame the heart part falls short thanks to the majority of the characters being boring. The "science" behind the film might make realists want to throw something at the screen, but as Clooney says in the film "why can't you just be amazed and move on?"

Tomorrowland is an entertaining movie. One with a lot of flash and excitement. The substance backing it all up might not always be up to snuff, but it's enough to keep things entertaining until it's end. While not perfect it's still worth a watch. Especially with such a good message for the kids. There's even one for the grownups.

The movie has an entertaining concept and lively characters, but it tends to be on the preachy side. The last half hour gets muddled in confusing space lingo, and I lost some interest.

The trailers made this movie look great! But the movie plot seemed to meander about as one adventure led into another. About half way through, I was getting restless. Sometimes a script that should have been an hour long TV show gets stretched into a two hour movie; I would put this inThe trailers made this movie look great!

Cliche, teen drama heroine, predictable, shallow, bad cast , i could not stand it from the first half and deleted it,it had potential until i saw the cast and what happens after the jump, it's capitalist , so that you have to feel bad before, in and after whatching it,the story is trash.
