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.
