We also get to see cops vaporized, villainous A-A's blown up and beheaded, and kids getting roughed up by getting attacked by hologram dogs and blasted by security devices/forces. Therefore, seeing her run down by a truck is still rather gruesome.

I am aware that Athena, we discover, is a robot (Audio-Animatronic if we're to be specific/Disney-friendly), but she still looks like a child. The film goes way beyond what I think is PG territory and which should have been rated PG-13. That is already bad enough, but Newton doesn't bother contacting Eddie for a long period of time, making me wonder what the point of Eddie or her brother Nate (Thomas Robinson) was.Įven worse is the violence in Tomorrowland, which was targeted at families and children. The idea that Newton (already the characters have such heavily symbolic names) would tell her dad she's going 'camping' after getting arrested, AND HER FATHER AGREEING TO THIS, is idiotic. The story goes all over the place, making the film feel even longer than its two-hour ten minute running time. In just about every other respects, Tomorrowland is a disaster. Tomorrowland is a hopeless bleak film, convinced that the world is about to enter inevitable destruction unless the younger generation takes over (and I figure remake the world). Walt Disney was an eternal optimist (his in-house songwriting team of Richard and Robert Sherman wrote There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow for the Carousel of Progress exhibit, later ride, at the 64 World's Fair). Or something like that: Tomorrowland is vague on a lot of things.ĭirector Brad Bird, who co-wrote the script with Damon Lindelof from a story by them and Jeff Jensen (though I suspect more hands were involved in this mess), appeared to forget something that I think is extremely important. Thugs keep after them, they go to Tomorrowland, Athena is a robot too, and something about Nix determined to save his world because our planet will be destroyed in 56 days due to climate change. Pursued by thugs, eventually Newton seeks George (George Clooney), who for reasons vague and boring, is not in Tomorrowland anymore, but is a bitter recluse. At the shop she goes to, robots try to kill her, but Athena rescues her. She tries to find the source of the pin, which leads her to leave Houston home and go to Atlanta, telling her father she's going camping. Whenever she touches it, she finds herself in a magical world, but the pin leads her into trouble. When she is bailed out, among her possessions is a pin she doesn't recognize. Somehow, sabotaging the site is considered a crime, and she is arrested. Her father, Eddie (Tim McGraw) accepts that he'll be out of a job, but his daughter Casey won't.

Years later, a bright girl surnamed Newton (Britt Robertson) is trying to save a rocket Launchpad NASA is dismantling. However, his 'daughter', Athena (Raffey Cassidy), who might find him cute, gives him a pin that leads him via the It's a Small World ride at the fair to a fantastical new world, Tomorrowland, a world of scientists and intellectuals far from the madding crowd (where was Ayn Rand when you needed her?).

He is inspired by Walt Disney's vision of the future, but the judge, Mr. It also doesn't help that from time to time, I was dead asleep at this horror, but I'll do my best to give as close to a description as possible.Īs I understand it, George Walker, a little boy who travels to the New York World's Fair of 1964, goes there to show his jet-pack.

I don't think I've regretted going to a film as much as I have with this one.and I've seen Howard the Duck.Īt this point, I'd give a far-too-long plot synopsis, but fortunately Tomorrowland doesn't have a plot, just a series of incidents that don't seem to tie into each other. In turns mind-numbingly dull and freakish, Tomorrowland goes out of its way to both cash in on the Disney connection and destroy Uncle Walt's ideas simultaneously. It's so bad that it might dethrone Jupiter Ascending as the absolute worst film of 2015.and actually, of all time, past/present/future, a feat no film should ever aim for.

Tomorrowland is the worst movie I've seen all year.
