So when the 60-point passing score of "Tomorrowland" appeared in his list of works in dazzling orange, it was really a Disney-style smash. Of the 45 media, 27 gave excellent marks, 17 gave medium marks, and 1 gave unsatisfactory marks. This sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of up to 200 million and a post-production period of nearly 1 year is so gorgeous.
The trailer for "Tomorrowland" positioned the film as a work with perfect visual effects. The gorgeous future world, fierce robot battles, and the Eiffel Tower rising into the air at the end really won a lot of attention for the film. The idea for this film comes from an idea in the legendary "Golden Ideas Kit" that Walt Disney left for Disney during his lifetime. Can't help but make countless fans who have heard a little about Brad's reputation for a long time, full of expectations.
Unfortunately, success is also Disney, and failure is also Disney. The setting of this sci-fi film for the world of tomorrow, no matter how you look at it, is the conception of the future world by people in the 1960s and 1970s. For the overly complicated setting of the entire story background, the film needs to spend a lot of time as a foreshadowing and elaboration. Sure enough, all the presentations of Tomorrowland in the trailer basically appeared during the foreshadowing of the film, after which the film fell into an endless loop of running, fighting, running, and fighting.
This has defined itself from the very beginning as a super advertising blockbuster dedicated to Disney's younger children. In order to cater to the younger market, the average IQ of the entire story is too low. Even the battle scene, due to the appearance of robots, is no longer so bloody and violent, but adds a lot of jokes, but it is quite suitable for the whole family to go to the cinema to watch a movie together. As a key figure, George Clooney has been using a tone of speech on the TED stage to slowly explain the plot for us, and as the heroine who saves the world, Britt Robertson, is a soy sauce-like existence from beginning to end . Not to mention the villain played by Hugh Laurie, who babbles about the annihilation theory that has appeared in many movies, and then is inexplicably eliminated by "justice". Yes, you read that right, the most critical climax of a two-hour and twenty-minute film is only the last twenty minutes, oh no, that's not a climax at all, the moment you rise from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, you basically Can leave the cinema - because there really isn't anything to look at after.
If you go back to Brad's last work, "Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol", you will find that the film basically abandons the narrative form and turns to one climax after another, one battle after another. Neither procrastination nor nonsense, except for the necessary instructions, the rest is what a qualified action film needs. Looking back at "Tomorrowland", except for the battle in the villa and the store in the first half, the ending part is simply a nonsense. From the discovery of the villain's plan to being eliminated and saving the world, it only took 15 minutes. The cute loli robot Athena will have a conversation with George Clooney about robots, souls, and humans before she dies. As such a film suitable for children under the age of 13, pulling out these contents will undoubtedly increase the laugh.
Oh, by the way, the confrontation between George Clooney, the fifth uncle of the diamond king, and Little Loli sounds like "This killer is not too cold". The answer is not at all. George Clooney and the other two heroines have always harbored a hostile mentality, tearing from the beginning to the end. His frowning expression is matched with Britt Robertson's paralyzed expression, and the panic that appears from time to time The bewildered performance and the sense of disobedience become the clues throughout the film. Especially the large robots that appear at the end, the setting of their shapes is more like playing cute than fighting.
If you watch the trailer of the final theatrical version, it is not difficult to find that at the end, in the endless wheat fields, the heroine walked towards the radiant Tomorrowland, and Clooney said in a soothing voice: "Do you want to go to Tomorrowland? Here it is." It seems to tell you that the climax of the whole film happened after the heroine entered the world of tomorrow. But the feature film seemed to slap me in the face like a huge slap in the face. When George Clooney said this, the world of tomorrow they were in was extremely deserted and dilapidated. From the time they spent nearly two hours stepping into the world of tomorrow, the plot collapsed sharply, and the disappointment index rose rapidly.
It seems that I can understand at this time why the score of this film has continued to drop from 65 points in the initial comprehensive review to 60 points. However, there is no doubt that when Shanghai Disneyland is about to open, Disney will show a large-scale commercial of its own amusement park like the whole world. You don't need to care about word of mouth or box office. Once you have created a topic, it is a success.
For Brad Birdman's Waterloo, it was Disney's big win in the end. In addition to complimenting the Tomorrowland modeling with perfect visual effects in the film, the rest is to silently light a candle for this Waterloo.
