Tomorrowland
Review by Nora L.
Rating: Three out of Five Stars
Tomorrowland
is a sci-fi and action movie directed and written by Brad Bird along with Damon
Lindelof. When young Frank (Thomas Robinson) enters a “future” themed
convention, he meets Athena (Raffey Cassidy).Instantly he falls in love. Athena
gives him a pin that he later realizes is able to transport him to the future.
As young Frank and Athena spend more time together, Frank can not understand
why he can’t make Athena laugh. Finally the truth is revealed that Athena is a
robot along with almost everyone else in Tomorrowland. Now jump ahead almost 25
years. Athena has found a girl who is very rebellious and states her opinions
clearly. Athena also gives this girl, Casey (Brittany Roberston), a pin to the
future. Later, after showing Casey the future Athena seeks help from Frank who
is now middle aged and living in a bunker hiding from the fact that the one he
loved is a automated machine. When Frank doesn’t agree to help Casey forces him
in to working with her by locking him out of his own house and locking herself
in. Finally they set out on an adventure to the future and save the world from
collapsing and going into total chaos.
All in all, it was an okay movie but
there were a few unanswered questions. Like when they visited the future there
were only about 20 people there? What happened to all the people in the
future in the beginning of the movie? Also, are the robots made in a factory
and assigned to families or what? Another question asked at the end of the
movie was, is David Nix (Hugh Laurie) , the ruler of Tomorrowland, a robot or
not? This question is asked because at the end of the movie he’s wearing a
bracelet that controls a landing pad, yet before that he talks about shakes
that could possibly keep him from aging.
I believe that it was a good movie yet
there were many parts that did not need to be there such as when Athena got hit
by a car. In some parts of the future travel made it quite confusing but still
good. I enjoyed the movie, but I’ve definitely seen better.
