I found this movie to be entertaining and engaging. Kids will enjoy all the adventure and action. Disney did a good job. I did pick up on the environmental undertone of this movie. That through our actions we are heading to our own end. I thought Hugh Laurie had the best end speech near the end of the movie. It was, to me, an honest account of how we are as human beings.

The key phrase in this movie is that our children are our future and that we should never give up or except the path we are on, rather it is up to us to change it to make the world a better place so we may continue to survive and thrive.

I found there to be quite a bit of humor in this film as well and not the kind that went over kids heads to appeal to the grown ups. Granted when I went I didn't see many kids, if any in the theater at the time. That was probably due to the rating of 14+. The word 'hell' is used a few time so I have no doubt it played it's part.

The acting was well done and I would definitely call this a family movie and would recommend this to people.

Awful. I don't understand why I find so many good reviews for this movie. The story was ridiculous. The Eiffel Tower is a high tech antenna built by Nikola Tesla that transforms into a launchpad for an antique rocket that transports you to another dimension? Oh, and to get to the Eiffel Tower, our heroes used a magic transporter device that inexplicably uses satellites and unfortunately drains your body of 90% of its blood sugar. Thankfully there's a fridge at the other side (at the top of the Eiffel Tower) with a couple of bottles of Coca-Cola in it. Hurray for product placement. Britt Robertson then demonstrates the unfortunate bodily effects of drinking two bottles of soda in 10 seconds due to being drastically affected by the machine, while somehow George Clooney was miraculously able to walk away completely unscathed. If that sounds bad to you, you're likely not going to enjoy the preceding half hour of the protagonists trying to escape from robots trying to kill them with laser guns that turn humans into a burst of CG dust. I guess my point is that if you're the sort of person that isn't bothered by stuff like 10 year olds inventing complex machinery that futuristic robots somehow know how to repair so that said 10 year old can somehow know how to fly the invention that's never worked before around a city of nonsense, then you're likely not to mind the mountain of plot holes this movie rests upon. I'm sure this movie is perfectly enjoyable for children, but it was immature and annoying in my eyes =(

George Clooney stars as world-weary inventor and former boy-genius who once inhabited Tomorrowland, a place located in an alternate reality. He runs into Britt Robertson, a bright teenager keen to go back there and fix what went wrong.

Tomorrowland begins with the typical start-at-the-end-then-rewind idea that gets used and abused far too much. This scene lasts far too long; Clooney and Robertson share in some friendly repartee as they decide who can tell the story better. It feels like delaying tactics before getting the story under way, never a good sign.

Then we sweep back in time to Clooney’s childhood, with even more build-up to the main show. However at this point we’re well over an hour into the film and things are dragging on.

This is typical of the whole film. It’s building to something that isn’t there - like a crescendo that never quite ends right. As the final third comes in, there’s nothing to be revealed, nothing to be said of any interest, just lots of loose ends and unanswered questions.

The central idea is solid though. The notion that the tinkerers and dreamers are the ones that make the future is an attractive one. We must fuel optimism in order to brighten the days to come. Tomorrowland is a place built to symbolise the beauty of ingenuity and creativity, something that could be really exciting to see on film.

Sadly, in practice Bird does not come close to inspiring this level of awe and wonderment in the audience. The visuals are sumptuous but the story is just too fragmented and nonsensical. Many elements aren’t clearly explained, which is fine, but we are made to feel as though we missed something, which is not fair.

Tomorrowland is a beautiful, immaculately designed mess of a story. Unfortunately, visual effects aren’t enough to save the film and ultimately it’s a confusing and frustrating experience. Very disappointing.

A mega-grumpy George Cluney is always worth watching. A nice upbeat "We can change our own future for the better" movie. It's bright, colourful and inoffensive.

Wish it was greater, but for what it is it's still enjoyable.

'Tomorrowland' is an intriguing futuristic film, it doesn't really delve as deep into its potential-filled premise as it should but it scratches the surface and it makes for - just about - solid viewing. The special effects are very nice, also.

As for the casting, I guess it could've been better. However, I did like the main quartet of Britt Robertson (Casey), George Clooney (Frank), Raffey Cassidy (Athena) and Hugh Laurie (David) - the latter has a good rant late on. I rate the way the story is told, mostly in retrospective by Robertson and Clooney - it keeps it interesting.

I just feel more should've been done with this, given it's fairly entertaining even in its current state and has a load of potential. Either way, I did narrowly like it.
