The movie "Tomorrowland" is known as an original movie. What is an original movie is that the movie is not a sequel, not a hero movie adapted from a comic, but a truly self-created movie. This was not worth talking about at first, but in the special period when Hollywood comics and sequel movies are flooding in, this is a kind of compliment for independent innovation movies!
So now let's take a look at how the film unfolds. Frank (George Clooney) accidentally stepped into the "Tomorrowland" when he was a teenager. After an accident, Frank was expelled from "Tomorrowland" and lived a semi-reclusive life but always concerned about the fate of mankind. Until the smart girl Cathy (Britt Robertson) came to the door, Cathy was passionate about science and life, and discovered the mysterious badge by accident. She needed Frank's assistance to decipher the scattered clues and find the hidden in the mystery. "Tomorrow's World" in time and space to change the fate of mankind...
The funny thing about the film is that it also incorporates the artistic imagination of historical figures, boldly assuming that Edison, the Paris Tower designer Eiffel, the "father of alternating current" Nikola Tesla and other top scientists and artists formed a secret A group to jointly create an ideal plan - Tomorrowland, but this plan has an accident, and "Tomorrowland" has since disappeared.
It stands to reason that this wonderful idea of real characters + sci-fi theory + unrestrained imagination will definitely be able to make a movie like "The Da Vinci Code" that explores the secrets of ancient times and arouses the audience's thirst for knowledge, but unfortunately this film is anticlimactic and lacks Imagination makes people look extremely dull. Movies are not like the Hollywood sci-fi movies we have been used to. They are dull in terms of brilliance, and there is not much surprise in the creation of utopian existence "Tomorrow's World". The narrative is a little clumsy. When the young Frank entered "Tomorrowland", the expected opening and closing of the plot was suppressed, and the rhythm slowed down. The only highlight of the whole film is that Frank and Kathy are surrounded by mysterious soldiers. The escape scene at the time, but the plot soon fell into the quagmire of a hasty end.
Aside from the content, the film's preaching is too straightforward. After the whole film, there are endless sci-fi theories that make people's minds open, and there is a trend to move closer to space films. There is a metaphysical stalk, everything stems from the control of the mind, and the theme was denied by this naive idea. This is a major failure of the film!
Of course, if it comes back to the fact that the film is produced by Disney and is a movie interpretation of Disney theme parks, and the main purpose is to encourage everyone to dare to pursue their own unique and unique dreams, the film is a good one. Children's movies. Overall, this is a substandard sci-fi film, a good children's film, and an excellent Disney theme park promo.
