Tomorrowland Review

WE LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL WORLD

Rating: 8.5 out of 10

The opening of Tomorrowland has nostalgia stamped all over it. It was during this majestic and stunning sequence that I had two concurrent thoughts. I wondered how young adult fiction nowadays focuses on dystopia. Whatever happened to utopia? The immediate realization after it dawned on me: this will never work with today’s audience. Tomorrowland is every bit as beautiful, imaginative and ambitious as a summer movie ought to be but in 2015, it is a fool’s hope to think it will be successful.
