UK Release Date:22 May
Certificate: 12A
Running Time:130 mins
Cast:George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy, Hugh Laurie
Director:Brad Bird
Plot: In this sci-fi fantasy, jaded inventor Frank Walker (George Clooney) joins forces with teenager Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright-eyed optimist who shares his gift for understanding gadgets. Why? Just to save the world from destruction, NBD. With the help of a rather precocious little girl named Athena (Raffey Cassidy), the unlikely pair find their way to a secret world known as Tomorrowland, which may hold the key to humanity’s future.
Best Scene: Early in the movie, a wide-eyed young Frank (Thomas Robinson) makes his first trip to Tomorrowland and finds himself in a world of wonder, complete with giant robots and jetpacks. As they do throughout the movie, the visuals will make you gasp—and the dreamed-up ‘technology’ is super-cool.
Date Movie or Mate Movie: If your BF or GF’s little sister insists on tagging along on your date, this family-friendly flick should definitely be your pick.
Scene Stealer:Kathryn Hahn and Keegan-Michael Key provide unexpected comic relief as a quirky hippie couple who run a collectibles shop …
WTF Moment:… and let’s just say things get a little bizarre when Casey shows up there.
Summary:The earnest 'Tomorrowland' sometimes beats you over the head with its message that we should stop envisioning a dark, dystopian future—think the worlds of 'The Hunger Games, Insurgent, The Maze Runner 'and so on—and start doing something to avert one. But really, you can’t deny that’s quite a good message indeed. With awe-inducing visuals (including the craggy-faced Clooney), 'Tomorrowland' is a truly epic adventure.
