So I want to start off by being completely honest and forthright, which is what I pride myself on and always what I try to stand for in writing ALL of my movie reviews! That is my total motivation for taking the time and the effort to write my reviews!
I am and always have been a die-hard Disney Fan!!!
 I live, eat, sleep and dream Disney!!! It has been a huge part of mine, my husband and my children's lives!
But... this new and highly anticipated movie, "Tomorrowland" just did not work for me! I was so excited and anxious to see it, I felt like it was a total waste of my time and I was highly disappointed with it. I am getting so sick and tired of these so-called teenage Dystopian futuristic movies!
George Clooney stars as Frank Walker, the senior Frank. Thomas Robinson stars as the young Frank, a child genius who discovered how to fly around in a flying suit just like the actual one they had many years ago at Tomorrowland in Disneyland. Athena, (Raffey Cassidy) was an adorable but unusual little girl who favored young Frank and helped him out with his flying suit invention but ended up being a robot with incredible blue eyes. Then there was Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) playing a teenager determined to get to "Tomorrowland" and the daughter of  NASA astronaut Eddie Newton (Tim McGraw) a single and struggling father. Casey kept running away and causing problems for her father who was about to lose his job with NASA. The whole movie to me was very convoluted and you honestly could not make much sense of it. I never did understand where "Tomorrowland" was and where on or off earth it was located. The characters had to be in possession of a special pin to enter into "Tomorrowland", the story was just too vague and way too cynical. Even old George couldn't pull it off. He just looked old and gray and added nothing to the movie. I just feel that the storyline was weak and there was really no premise to the movie! The graphics were visually stunning and Disney spent over 180 Million to make this movie but once again, it just doesn't make the grade! I'm pretty sure this is going to be a colossal failure for Disney.
Parents be advised: There was some weird and unusual robot violence and just plain strange stuff going on. I would recommend this movie for children ages ten and over.
I am giving "Tomorrowland" two bags of popcorn.
