Tomorrowland
Veteran Pixar director Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille) follows his live-action debut Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol with this sci-fi adventure based on the Disney theme park attraction. A scientifically-inclined teen (Britt Robertson) is granted a fleeting glimpse at an advanced creative wonderland by virtue of a mysteriously-acquired pin that allows her to travel between dimensions. With baddies in pursuit, she teams up with a former boy-genius inventor (George Clooney) to travel to Tomorrowland, make our world a better place, and save us from certain destruction.

flicksA struggle to watch
The movie was bland, it had nothing in particular going for it, the main actor/actress were both good, though they made the actress' character a bit pathetic screaming and screeching about things, over the top. Little to no humor. The few action scenes were good which was the only shiny glimmer of hope, but drowned out by the slow boring part of the...
Tomorrow today
Tomorrowland 'Jetsons’ tv series with 'Looper', 'Ironman', 'Meet the Robinson’s' and 'Never-ending Story’. It was fully worth watching big or small screen this is great watch for the family. If you truly get into it, you’ll come out after having a great time and feeling charged to do more with you life! :-) I thoroughly enjoyed this & can’t believe it...
poor movie-making.
Okay, so not completely unwatchable, just boring.Film spends about 60% of it's run-time setting up an essentially non-existent story. We get a poorly-relaised antagonist that doesn't turn up until the last 20 minutes, and a solution to the problems faced by the the protagonists that essentially amounts to "Oh, hey, why don't we just...". Add to that, our...
Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland is an ambitious and visually dazzling film that deserves to be seen on the big screen, and it's cheaper than going to Disneyland. There's plenty to love about the future metropolis that Brad Bird and Damon Lindelof have created. It has everything you could want from an action-packed science-fiction adventure. Jetpacks, robots, and futuristic...
An Old-Style Adventure In A New World
Some people may know Tomorrowland as that place that exists within the Disney theme parks. Some may just know it's a Disney 'thing'. And like its sibling film 'The Haunted Mansion', it is no longer just a representation of a dream of Walt Disney's, but is now a movie that will take viewers on an adventure that feels like past wonder years. Starring Britt...
Variety
pressThe glaring failure of Tomorrowland is that its central premise — children are the future — is almost completely negated by the preachiness of the execution and the clumsiness of the storytelling.
Total Film
pressIf you’re willing to let a few things slide, this is one of the best family blockbusters in years.
Time Out
pressWhen it puts down its copy of ‘Political Philosophy for Dummies’ and focuses on character and action, Tomorrowland is a blast.
The New York Times
pressIt's important to note that Tomorrowland is not disappointing in the usual way. It's not another glib, phoned-in piece of franchise mediocrity but rather a work of evident passion and conviction. What it isn't is in any way convincing or enchanting.
The Guardian
pressDirector Brad Bird deserves praise for packing such big ideas into such an accessible, rip-roaring, retro-futurist adventure.
Hollywood Reporter
pressIt falls more to Robertson to carry the film, which she does with great energy and appeal.
