Review of Tomorrowland (2015) by Brendan R — 22 Oct 2015
Tomorrowland, directed by Brad Bird, was for the most part an enjoyable family film with mild.
Sciencefiction and comedy that could be enjoyed by all. The film has some intriguing.
Components such as the various flashbacks in the beginning utilized to develope the elaborate.
Plot of the story. This kept the audience interested for nearly the entire movie up until the final.
Portion of the movie, in which the change of pace greatly speeds up. The disappointing ending.
Seems to mask the entire movie, though the majority of it was produced well. The underlying.
Message conveyed to the audience is that in our current world today, it is important that we.
Continue to invent and dream of new technology in order to preserve the planet and to make the.
World a more remarkable place. This message could've been conveyed in a more subliminal way,.
As it felt forced rather than a gradual ease into the theme which would be exponentially more.
Effective. Another minute message conveyed is that our current habits are detrimental to the.
Planet, exemplified through global warming and social tensions in countries around the world.
The meaning for this is to make the audience aware of the inevitable conclusion as long there is.
No "dreamers" that are determined and persistent in preserving Earth. The overall dialogue.
Between the characters was strong, as the elite cast helmed by George Clooney seemed genuine.
In their acting throughout the film. Even the actors with miniscu roles appeared to be playing.
Their characters well, as the overall quality acting was the only thing saving the plot throughout.
The final half hour. The plot line for the most part was interesting, keeping the audience's.
Attention, until the climax of the movie which disappointed greatly. The utilization of flashbacks.
And other effective styles kept the audience intrigued in the mysterious Tomorrowland while.
Developing a very complex plot. The apparel worn by each character was consistent with their.
Respective personality and background, such as the antagonist (Laurie) was dressed in futuristic.
Black robes, while the protagonists all wore present day attire, reflective of the time period the.
Majority of the movie took place in. The scenes were beautifully laid out with eyeappealing.
Settings, from the buildings of Tomorrowland to the barren front yard of Frank Walker. The.
Quality of each scene is advanced, as clear concise filming made it enjoyable to watch. Various.
Camera compositions such as wide angle, over the shoulder, medium shot and much more were.
Utilized as well. The pace of the movie was perfect in the beginning, allowing the appropriate.
Time for the plot to unfold, until about midway through the movie where it was rapidly sped up,.
As if the Bird had a time restraint to completely incorporate a complex ending. Essentially the.
Movie as a whole was well produced, with the exception of the rushed ending and the way the.
Theme was portrayed. Bird's style in this movie is much different then his typical screen write.
That usually involves animation such as The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, and other films. In.
Tomorrowland he uses actors and starts the movie with background information that is crucial for.
The viewer to know prior to the story beginning, seen in other works of his such as The Incredibles. He.
Incorporates comedy in parts of the film when you don't expect it, leaving his signature smile on the.
Viewer's face.
