The promise of tomorrow

Tomorrowland (2015)

Directed by Bard Bird this film inspired by part of the Disney theme parks stars George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy and Hugh Laurie. The daughter of a NASA engineer is given a pin that shows the promise of a magical land known as Tomorrowland.

I found this film surprisingly enjoyable, while it's not perfect and the final act in particular has a bit of a wobble there is a lot to enjoy here. The plot looks at some of the ideas of how we think about the future affects us (although the ending is a little simplistic) and some of the character stories were especially well done. Probably the best part of the film is the performance by Rafffey Cassidy who really stands out, giving a great performance for her age.


4/5
