The middle-aged man Frank Walker (George Clooney) and the girl Cathy Newton (Britt Robertson) beside him spit out bitterly. He lamented that modern society is full of wars, hunger, disasters and all kinds of Injustice, he recalled an experience in his childhood. Little Frank (Thomas Robinson played by Thomas Robinson) came to a theme park with his proud invention, only to get dusty. And the beautiful girl Athena (Raffey Cassidy) secretly stretched out a helping hand, allowing him to see the staggering future world. In contrast, Cathy is a sunny girl who is full of illusions about the future. She is eager to travel in space one day. With dreams, she even broke into NASA, causing a lot of trouble, but she got a mysterious badge and got acquainted with Frank.
The imagination of the future in the film also reflects illusory scenes through different media, illustrating the uncertainty of the so-called "future country" and people's subjective and active role in the future. Touching the T-badge, a new type of fantasy and beautiful city, a towering technology tower led by a golden wheat field, a free city built by scientists and artists such as Edison, Tesla, etc., there is no political violence, no pressure of study and work. A utopian world (artificial paradise) where science and nature are in harmony. On the contrary, when searching the torrent of time on the Superphoton Tower, it was discovered that there was a different prospect: the protests on Trafalgar Square, the American inland tornado and the New York floods, like a doomsday disaster like the Last Judgment, and only 58 days later everything will be Turned into reality, the sad end of human civilization that seems unchangeable.
In the movie, the so-called "world of tomorrow" is more like a utopian existence, symbolizing the most harmonious and progressive human living environment. The whole movie brings us positive energy, and we can feel a positive feeling in the process of watching the movie, and people can feel the beauty of the world in which we live. Wrapped in the sci-fi futuristic coat of "Tomorrow's World", what it expresses is actually a complaint about the environmental problems of the world today and a yearning for a better future. This movie made me deeply aware of the importance of environmental protection and the harmony between man and nature. For us, we should try our best to be an environmentalist and do our best to create a more beautiful, pollution-free, and more Harmonious "Tomorrow's World"!

    As the opening chapter of the new series, a common peeling narrative is adopted. But after the setting is stripped, it is somewhat weak. I want to visualize both evil thoughts and hopes, but I miss the loopholes in the plot and the logic is far-fetched. Previously, I had a little expectation for the cooperation between director Brad Bird and screenwriter Damon Lindelof, but unfortunately I didn't feel in the state. I dug a big hole and fell into it myself.

    I also feel that this is indeed a big promotional film for a Disney theme park, and even the function of the promotional film is not so good. Perhaps in order to take care of the children's audience, the plot is too simple and foolish, especially at the end, it really ends as soon as the chaos comes. She is the same heroine as the chosen one, and the second villain. The only bright spot is that loli, and the bad expressions of the miscellaneous soldiers

Tomorrowland quotes

  • Casey Newton: What if The Monitor is just a giant pin? But instead of making you think positive, it makes you think negative and it... it's convincing the whole world to feed the wrong wolf. We need to turn that thing off.

  • Frank Walker: David... The Monitor is acting as an antenna. It isn't just receiving tachyons. It is taking a possible future and...

    Casey Newton: And amplifying it, transmitting it, like a feedback loop. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy that's coming from right there. But it's not just showing people the end of the world, it's giving them the idea over and over again until they just accept it! It's a ticking time bomb, and we're the ones that lit the fuse. We still have 58 days to try and change things. But nothing will work as long as that thing is still on.

    Nix: Young lady, I'm gonna assume that your knowledge of tachyonic fusion is a little sketchy. Shutting it down is impossible. There is no off.

    Casey Newton: I'm telling you what it's doing. Why don't you care?

    Frank Walker: Because he's the one that's doing it.
