Tomorrowland (2015)

First of all, I had greater hopes by entering this movie that George Clooney was going to kill it in the Sci-Fi movie genre, unfortunately I was disappointed. He didn't seem to fit the role, I don't know why, honestly he seemed to be a little sloppy and unfit physically, plus his performance I can see that he tried his best, but his character did not just fill that major role in the movie. Maybe a more younger actor, would have fitted the role better and speaking of actors.

Tomorrowland is visually very appealing. You can sense that a lot of attention has been given to details like the uniforms, people and technology of the future. It is pretty believable and makes you want to be a part of the story. Credits to the composer for the accompanying soundtrack. Even though you get the feeling that you have heard it in other movies before it goes well with the cinematography and the story line.  The biggest strength of Tomorrowland is its unique and compelling plot. It's a very fresh idea and you're constantly engaged to know what will happen next. It is packed with a surprising amount of action sequences and something that you'd probably not expect from a PG movie targeted primarily at kids.



Tomorrowland begins with a very promising and gripping first half and I was completely engaged with the story. The visuals were impressive and the action scenes very entertaining. Britt Robertson was delivering a strong lead performance and the quest to reach Tomorrowland felt incredibly refreshing and unique. She shared a strong chemistry with George Clooney and her upbeat optimism contrasted perfectly with Clooney's pessimism. There is no denying the level of ambition this film has, but unfortunately the second half of the film doesn't deliver on the promising premise and the ending was very bland. My interest fell completely and I lamented the fact that the film couldn't maintain that same level of intensity delivered during the first half. Hugh Laurie is a great actor, but as the antagonist he never really felt the part. The film ran out of steam and imagination pretty quickly and delivers a somewhat predictable and uninspired ending.

 This movie is more about the journey of getting to Tomorrowland rather than it being about life on there. When they do get there and the movies villain is revealed it felt very underwhelming. I mean you talk about lack of development in villains. But this one had no development whatsoever, none that I noticed anyhow. Like, really? You're the bad guy in all of this? How did that happen. You didn't explain at all as to why he felt this way leading up to the reveal. They did however basically just look straight to the audience and tell you why. But there wasn't really any motivation behind it. It just happened.
