Tomorrowland

Brad Bird already proved in The Iron Giant that he has a flair for retro children's stories. Tomorrowland continues with a tribute to the 1960s and the futuristic positivism of the time. And like Saving Mr. Banks, it's a story from real Disney history. Which in and of itself is fascinating. (01/10/2019)

I had quite a few laughs and a lot of fun watching this, especially thanks to the slightly pedophilic aging inventor Frank with his house full of surprises and Hugh Laurie as the villain. Britt Robertson was also great here, unlike in The Space Between Us. The story had a decent pace. It’s just that the over-the-top politically correct ending was about as enjoyable as if the filmmakers had slapped me with a dead mackerel. (23/08/2017)

Cute, a little bit stupid, non-offensive. What more can I say about Tomorrowland? I can see that the movie had great ambitions; digitally, it was amazing and George Clooney wouldn’t take just any gig, but the overall story is so strange that it’s actually a good thing that they only ended up shooting one movie. The first time, it was okay with my eyes half-closed, but if I were to watch it again, I’d have to have a blindfold on. (22/11/2016)

Brad Bird tries to be the same fanboy as Abrams, but while J.J. is a geek and also a sophisticated filmmaker, Bird lets the material slip through his fingers and and churns a 130-minute feature film upside down just to make it work. But it doesn’t quite work. Apart from breathtaking visual effects and a wannabe pseudo-mission, it has nothing to offer but a routine Hollywood standard, and that's not enough for such an ambitious and grandiose project.

Disney has shown another beautiful vision that is simply beautiful to the eye. In addition, you get a nicely family-oriented story with occasional tougher moments. However, do not expect blood. If you like Disney, you will get what you expect, maybe even something extra. I left the film with a pleasant warm feeling. For a moment, one believes that humanity has hope. (30/09/2015)
