Best Experience Ever!
'Tomorrowland' is a Sci-fi Adventure where a teenage girl called 'Casey' (played by Britt Robertson known for films such as 'The Longest Ride') finds a mysterious pin with her belongs and once the pin is touched it transports her to Tomorrowland. However, The pin only works temporary meaning she would have to travel there in order to stay longer. However, There are some bad guys who are after her and another robot girl she makes friends with... But I won't say anymore about the storyline because the less you know about the plot, then the more enjoyable the film is. But what I will say is what a BRILLIANT FILM this is! The plot was gripping with many twists and it keeps you hooked until the very end. The special effects are the best I have ever seen and are jaw dropping. The cast do fantastic with their performance epically George Clooney (from films such as 'Gravity' etc.) who plays 'Frank' aswell as Britt Robertson who played the role of the teenage girl really well. The soundtrack also sounded brilliant and the enemies were very well delivered.The film is 130 minutes long which I was concerned about before watching, as most films with run times over 2 hours tend to bore me but due to the pacing and interesting plot of this film then I was hooked and didn't get bored in the slightest. This film could have even been made longer. There are a few downsides as I would have loved to have seen more of Tomorrowland and also I didn't like the ending of the film as it was a bit confusing and felt a little silly, but I am not going to say why because I will spoil it. Lastly, I would like to mention this is one of the best Blu-rays I have ever bought as the picture quality was superb and there wasn't any grain visible and the colours and scenery looked very realistic. I even thought I was watching 4K quality at first. Also the sound is awesome and makes you feel you are actually in the film. The sound effects which came out of my Soundbar were some of the best I have heard and gave me one of the best home cinema experiences ever!Overall, This is a film for everyone! and its one of the best Sci-fi films I have ever seen! Just buy this film (and if you can try and get it on Blu-ray) and enjoy an experience of a life time!

Good family film. Give it a go. Don’t expect too much.
An unexpected flop for G Clooney - despite the huge budget for the film. It’s therefore a nice little find if you want some wholesome family entertainment with the kids - upto I’d say 13’ish.Clever but rebellious teen finds a magical badge that teleports her, temporarily, to a utopian world of scientific & technological wonder - styled very much on the 60’s vision of a golden future. In her attempts to discover the place for real, she’s dragged into an adventure encountering friendly and hostile cyborgs, political machinations, and an ultimate attempt to save humanity from complete annihilation.The script is somewhat of it’s time, in that all the female characters are strong tenacious & determined, whilst all the male roles are bumbling shortsighted semi-proles. But the visual effects are spectacular, and the pacing of the film is tight, with moments of well tempered peril and humour.Clooney is his usual versatile strong and soft in all the right places, and Hugh Laurie makes an interesting contrast, but is ultimately miscast in a rather nondescript character (not all his fault).I think it flopped because of its underlying message of humanitarian pessimism, that slightly insists itself upon you the whole time, whilst at the same time trying everything it can to “inspire” you to change your ways - but that ultimately this is a job for the younger generation only.The studio clearly had rather unsubtle visions of maximising a franchise out of it - another possible reason why audiences didn’t connect with it.TL:DR Well worth a watch, don’t expect too much from it.

Sci-fi, light-hearted, deliberately OTT Fun adventure film!
This is a brilliant, light-hearted and over-the-top sci-fi adventure film - loads of classic fun! The sort of film you enjoy watching multiple times! I'd recommend it to anyone!

Great start to this movie
Great start to this movie. perfectly captures that sense of adventure and sheer exuberant can-do attitude that America seems to have lost. The visuals are stunning, everything is perfectly pitched and the story works well for the first two thirds of the movie. Very hard to second-guess this movie because their are some clever and original plot twists. Unfortunately it all falls apart in the last third of the movie. Some dreadful hammy acting from Hugh Laurie, who is under the impression the director asked him to play a vaudeville villain. Story gets lost, ending is confused and lacks punch. Watch it once, maybe. Not a keeper.
