Brad Bird already proved in The Iron Giant that he has a flair for retro children's stories. Tomorrowland continues with a tribute to the 1960s and the futuristic positivism of the time. And like Saving Mr. Banks, it's a story from real Disney history. Which in and of itself is fascinating.

I had quite a few laughs and a lot of fun watching this, especially thanks to the slightly pedophilic aging inventor Frank with his house full of surprises and Hugh Laurie as the villain. Britt Robertson was also great here, unlike in The Space Between Us. The story had a decent pace. It’s just that the over-the-top politically correct ending was about as enjoyable as if the filmmakers had slapped me with a dead mackerel.

The promise of something gigantic, luring you to the world of the future isn’t quite fulfilled at the end. It leads more to dystopia. This is one of those old school fairytales that are fine, but I can’t shake the feeling that they could be better. Clooney wasn’t right here and the young cutie is certainly no child. Laurie dominates (although not so much at the end) and the effects are super. Don’t be put off by the criticism. Despite my reservations, I liked it a lot. P.S.: I was pleased about the band of acquaintances from Stargate and the geeky merch in the store.

Disney presented another beautiful vision, which is simply visually stunning. On top of that, you still get a story that's nicely family friendly, but with grittier moments here and there. But don't expect blood, of course. If you like Disney, you'll get what you expect, maybe a little more. I took away a nice warm feeling from the film. For a small instant, one believes that there is hope for humanity.

Brad Bird tries to be the same fanboy as Abrams, but while J.J. is a geek and also a sophisticated filmmaker, Bird lets the material slip through his fingers and and churns a 130-minute feature film upside down just to make it work. But it doesn’t quite work. Apart from breathtaking visual effects and a wannabe pseudo-mission, it has nothing to offer but a routine Hollywood standard, and that's not enough for such an ambitious and grandiose project.
