Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2015 film Tomorrowland.
Story
It’s a little heavy handed in some aspects and takes way too much time getting to Tomorrowland. I know there was limited time, but I would have liked to know more about what happened to Tomorrowland itself. It seemed to go from clean and heavily populated to some sort of fascist police state.
Score: 0.5
Characters
I liked the characters but it took a long time for them to get to the point where they get over themselves and start working toward a goal.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
There’s a lot of funny, interesting, and deep quotes. The dialogue rolls well and is mostly logical.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
The movie is absolutely beautiful. The cinematography, locations, and special effects are top notch.
The music does it’s job but isn’t particulary impressive.
Score: 1
Fun
This might be a silly gripe on my part but I wish more of the movie was in Tomorrowland. I get it’s a metaphor for needing to strive but I wanted to spend more time in the beautiful hopeful world.
It was fun and action-packed but felt like it got lost in the journey and didn’t give the characters a chance to shine.
The rest of the family really enjoyed it.
Score: 0.5
Overall
An uneven movie that brings the thrills, the wonder, and hope. The movie is a visual feast with fast-paced action and a simple message that more people need to ask; “What can we do to fix it?”
Final Score: 3.5 Stars out of 5
