I'm a little late to this movie, but it's one I wanted to see because I saw the trailer and saw it was an interesting one. Based on Disney theme parks, but adding a unique story, the film opens up with a pretty intense opening that reminds me a lot of Hugo, a visually good looking sequence with Frank Walker's jetpack. After that (with the opening commentary of the two main characters), we opened up on Newton Casey's Frankenstein Life, a bit of an over-the-top treatise for my taste. When she finally found the needle, she made her way to a comic book store and some action really started and we started to meet Athena, a young girl who frankly met who gave Kathy's feet, and the old frank Pacers, played George Clooney, who did a great job in this movie. Rafi Cassidy, who plays Athena, who has multiple screen tests in London and the US, really stole most of her scene shows. Not only her various stunt fighting robots, but her acting is so much more mature than her basically the whole movie (even the touching scene, at the end of the film) makes me forget she was a child actress during this period, It's really cool. Eventually we meet those droids chasing Casey and she takes her to Edison's house and some people are persuading (and a really cool and creative use of the Eiffel Tower as a secret entrance) that they give it to the future, but It's not because people don't believe it. The "leader" of robot evil, I guess you could say, gave a future on how we need more, it was well written, I think, it's going to be a scene, I think I can watch it again, give I am inspired and I need to tell me that I have to keep going no matter what I do, because the future doesn't just happen, if I put things in the future it will also be delayed, for example. (Brad Bird even said that filming on set was difficult because of special effects or stunts, those days were temporary, and the movie lives forever. ) Overall, I really like the story. I like to accumulate, how people venture a lot from Casey's journey until they find the future entrance to everything comic shop, but they accumulate too much. There were about 57(ish) days to the end of the world and they fixed it, and in two minutes (yes, it was a touching scene, but still), it made me feel very anticlimactic. If Casey had found the code twenty minutes earlier, they would have had more room to add a little more to the epic final battle with the droids, and maybe they could have explored more of the ruins of the land. But I really like the ending of the movie when it shows that all the creative people in the world are getting help to help build something without financial or political distractions. (So I can be there with my feet and I don't have any distracting composing! Excellent!)
Speaking of music (you know all my reviews have to have some reference to music) Michael, Giacchino (who does things like, Ratatouille, and the most recent Star Trek movies) scored on that. I didn't quite notice the score the whole time, but there were a lot of threads I knew and liked. For the Tomorrowland theme there is some cool master piano stuff, coupled in magnificent brass. I once noticed a unique string written high glissandos when Casey sneaked into Frank's house at one point (I think). Giacchino said he usually composes films from beginning to end, so he can develop better results. It really does a lot of work, has pretty intense business scenes with lots of brass hitting the necessary points, and a very grand payoff to the main theme that ends the movie showing it who we are now to build our future , because it's black person to credit. It's a unique harmonic development score that I like and is something I think I can enjoy listening to as background music and really picking apart from watching a movie in a second or third.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience with this movie. There's an abundance of comedy to create a family-friendly Disney feel, and an abundance of adventure, which I really like, in stores for Casey and others. I don't really like the climax of the movie, but I think the message in the movie is good and hopefully inspires anyone to watch it. Since it's probably from theaters (soon) right now, I would recommend anyone to get a CD of it and give it a go.
