Reviews

I am a fan of Brad Bird. In fact, I was. I met him by Iron Giant and it made me cry despite I was not a kid! It was spectacular. Then I saw The Incredibles and it was incredible though. I will skip The Ghost Protocol, because it was a huge disappointment for me. Now, Tomorrowland... I went to see the movie because of three reasons: Brad Bird, George Clooney and as being a science fiction fan, because it was a sci-fi story. However, what I saw was a boring kids movie for TV channels with a daydreamer message in a bad way. Unfortunately, the kid characters were not likable in the movie and even Clooney was dull in this. He is one of my all time favorite actors. The story is rather "ancient" than boring, old themes, old twists etc. but the most important point here is that the story has a message which is "use your imagination, you can be one of the chosen ones who are able to do time travel, change the world's destiny and save the world from evil aliens? Sorry, but it is not just uninspiring and boring, but also too naive which turns into ridiculousness in the end. All those action in the final chapter or that weird store owners who reveal their secret later in the film were just ridiculous. In the movie, there were lots of references to other movies such as that little girl reminded me Terminator 3 (you know what I mean) It is definitely not for the people who want a smart, brilliant or exciting sci-fi adventure. I had supposed that this movie would be Interstellar for kids, but I was definitely wrong! This is the worst Brad Bird movie so far. It has no art, no real entertainment and no cinema magic. Just a bunch of impressive visual effects and no more than that. If you want a time killer movie which you can watch with your kids in a Sunday morning, this movie is OK for you. It is not like some kids classics such as E.T. Goonies, Stand by Me, Back to the Future, Close Encounters etc.
