Tomorrowland: Terra do Amanhã

The promise of something gigantic, luring you to the world of the future isn’t quite fulfilled at the end. It leads more to dystopia. This is one of those old school fairytales that are fine, but I can’t shake the feeling that they could be better. Clooney wasn’t right here and the young cutie is certainly no child. Laurie dominates (although not so much at the end) and the effects are super. Don’t be put off by the criticism. Despite my reservations, I liked it a lot. P.S.: I was pleased about the band of acquaintances from Stargate and the geeky merch in the store. (16/12/2015)

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)

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)

If I have to sit in the cinema for almost two and a quarter hours for a story with boring characters, boring twists and an ending that doesn't make much sense, it would be nice if there was at least something to watch. But there's only about fifteen minutes of Tomorrowland in total. The rest of it is mostly driving an old car around the countryside and babbling about nothing. This was probably meant to be a family film for everyone, but nobody will like it. (18/05/2015)

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.
