Bound by a shared destiny, a teen bursting with scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor embark on a mission to unearth the secrets of a place somewhere in time and space that exists in their collective memory.

I suppose proper respect needs to be given to Disney for their continue ability to be able to use their theme park attractions as inspiration for their movies. I can only hope that they don’t flog Tomorrowland like a dead horse like they have with the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise.
I suppose the cynics out there might dismiss the character Casey Newton (to borrow a line from Mike Nelson) as being just another typically abnormally confident, world-weary 16-year-old female protagonist, and it did come close to crossing that line a few times and probably would have if lesser filmmakers were involved. But thankfully the character did not scale to the heights of Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan.
Maybe Tomorrowland’s environmentalist message might have come across as being a little preachy towards the end and perhaps I would have liked to have seen a less clichéd end for Hugh Laurie’s character. But I would have to say that it seemed that Tomorrowland’s heart was in the right place and just maybe the movie makes a valid point about the direction in which the world might seem to be going.
