The Blindingly Bright World of Tomorrow: Tomorrowland, A Review


     In stark contrast with my last review, and the majority of films these days, Tomorrowland brings a sense of optimism and hope to the future. So often are we subject in film to futures that are dark, grim, gritty wastelands that I forgot how refreshing a film about a bright and better future really is. Tomorrowland is director Brad Bird's most recent addition to his portfolio of already fantastic films (The Incredibles, the Iron Giant, Ratatouille, and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), and as much as this film is getting panned by the majority of critics, it is very well done affair. A completely original film, Tomorrowland really stands out as a fun, optimistic piece that's really quite different from the majority of films coming out these days.
