Having endured no less than four of the interminable PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies, I had no stomach for sitting through yet another film based on a theme park attraction, yet when I saw TOMORROWLAND on TV I decided to give it a go. After all, the presence of the ever-charming George Clooney had to be a good thing, right? Actually, the answer is no. This is a cheap, superficial kind of film, an adventure fronted by kids in which the narrative seems to be made up of the stringing together of various genre tropes, all melded together with a big dollop of CGI. It looks nice, but I found it hollow in the extreme, lacking decent characterisation and any kind of depth whatsoever. Soulless, in other words.

So much potential - what a disappointment. It was like watching an over-rehearsed play Or an episode of "Hannah Montana". Even Miley Cyrus bailed on that show. The future scenes were htonderful but ioo brief. I haven't seen a George Clooney film I liked - why do people think this guy can act? He just talks angrily through his roles, as if he was woken up from a nap, before his scene. WisdomsHammer gave an astute analyses on this movie's short comings. And Remco de Groot summarized it well "Most of the time the movie gave the vibe of one of those promo films that are often run while you are waiting in line of a amusement park attraction. We were waiting for the doors to swing open and to be instructed to enter the trolleys and fasten seat-belts. Pins are for sale for $3.75 at the exit."Actually a pin would be cool - I'd rather have one than endured this disappointment. Ending on a positive note, as mentioned by others, the actress playing Athena was splendid.

I was initially OK with this. I initially liked that there were female leads. My first discomfort was not for me but for kids. There were needless killings of humans and dismemberment of robots. It seemed like it would be disturbing to small children. Also, the parts with kids steeling things seemed out of place for kids. It really took a dive when it began using time travel as part of the plot. From there on, the "sci-fi" ideas in the movie were in a downward spiral. Some social ideas presented in the movie had merit but were completely cancelled out by the low quality sci-fi story elements.Two areas which I want to emphatically state that I believe are overused. One is time travel. It often seems like a cheap plot device used to skip segments of story. And it's a sketchy concept often portrayed in silly ways. All that is in play in this movie. The other thing is the misuse of historical characters. This is especially bad in kids movies who may not ever get a real sense of the people portrayed in false ways.
