 It's funny going from Mad Max one day to Tomorrowland the next as their polar opposite films where Mad Max just loves it Relishes the disaster the destruction the chaos the anarchy Tomorrowland focuses on inspiration and creativity I loved Mad Max, but Tomorrowland was refreshing as well. I Was a little hesitant going into Tomorrowland at first because it has a few things going against it one It's got George Clooney who I normally can't stand in films to it was written by Damon Lindelof the guy who gave us Lost and Prometheus so the guy knows how to write a really great Captivating beginning he kind of keeps the middle a bit of a mystery and then it falls apart at the end Thankfully, that's not the case with Tomorrowland. There are plenty of questions asked not all of them get answered Not all of them make sense. That's typical from Damon, but It still works I was surprisingly happy with George Clooney's performance though as Frank and I think a lot of that's because we got Flashbacks of him when he was a younger child And I thought that was actually the strongest part of the film had they focused on Frank's story growing up as a kid Learning about Tomorrowland Seeing all the crazy stuff around him inventing things that may have been a stronger narrative It would have been more focused not as all over the place, which is a standard Damon thing there's there's just the movies a little over two hours, I think and the first hour is just I think it's incredible It reminded me of the goonies There's a lot of kid actors in it that you don't see in the trailer that are prominent roles And I'm not gonna I'm not gonna ruin any of that because I think that some of that mystery should stay intact The main female protagonist Britt Robertson plays Casey Newton in the film. She's very likeable She reminds me of a cross between Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence There's nothing annoying about any of these characters. She's very strong-willed. She's a free thinker She's always looking up at the stars thinking of the answer to things and that's really the message of the film And that's what Disney nails here. It encourages kids. It encourages people to be dreamers and to Think outside the box and that just complain and ask questions But to actually answer those questions it kind of reminds me of Wally a little bit too because the first half is so strong and then By the last third you're just kind of like, all right, we're in we're back in cliche territory We have our villain. We have this struggle. It just would have been nice, especially considering at one point in the film Britt's character says to George Clooney's character if you only spent like two or three minutes on the great stuff And now we're going to the gloom and doom that that could be said about the script as well Why focus so much on what we've seen a million times over instead show me more of those diving pools Show me more of the jetpacks show me more of the hover cars and all the creative things you see throughout the film The breakout star of the film is Athena played by Rafi Cassidy. I can't say anything about her I don't think she's in any of the trailers. I could go back and look I'm too lazy She's in quite a bit of the movie too and she nails it. She's a blast to watch every time she comes on screen. I Honestly can't say much more because I don't want to spoil anything But she was my favorite part the biggest praise I can give is this is a Brad Bird movie So you know going in you're gonna get some amazing visuals. You get some great action This is guy who's given us a bunch of fantastic Pixar movies in the past like the Incredibles Then he moved to some live-action stuff like ghost protocol mission impossible for so There's our there's already hope going into that this is gonna be a great movie and I think it is it is a great movie There are flaws, but at the end of the day, this is a family film You can take your kids to sit back and have a blast watching There is a bit too much monologuing especially from Hulory at the end, but The pros definitely outweigh the cons here you're gonna have a great time and like I said it kind of harkens back to more of the older school kids movies and You know, there's just a lot. There's just a lot to like the other thing I absolutely love is all the Easter eggs that play here Disney owns a lot of properties We got the Marvel films. We've got Star Wars So you're gonna see some of this sprinkled throughout and I laugh my ass off at a certain section I'm not gonna give away also score time. I'm gonna go with the solid eight It's a really fun family ride and I think it's worth seeing in theaters just for the spectacle on the big screen
