Hey everyone, so this review is a few days late because I had to have my laptop fixed, but my wife and I went and saw Walt Disney Pictures' Tomorrowland on Saturday.  The film stars George Clooney (Gravity), Britt Robertson (The Longest Ride), Tim McGraw (The Blind Side), Hugh Laurie (Fox's House), and Raffey Cassidy (Snow White and the Huntsman).  The film was directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol).  The film tells the story of Casey Newton, a girl with big dreams and an optimistic attitude, who after a run-in with the law discovers a rare pin which takes her to a wonderful place called Tomorrowland.  However, her time there is short-lived and she is desperate to get back.  So with the help of some new friends, she embarks on an incredible journey to unlock the mysteries of this new place and hopefully get some answers to her most burning questions.
So personally, I loved this film.  I thought that it was an incredible film and I think that this is a film that Walt Disney would be proud of.  Now you will hear a lot of different reviews about this film and for the most part they will be negative, but I urge you to not take those to heart and try this film out for yourself.  It has such a powerful message that could possible change the way we all think about life and is a message that everyone should hear.  Also, it is basically the only purely original summer blockbuster film this year, all the rest of the big budget films that we will see this summer are either sequels or reboots.  So if you want to ever see more original films in theaters besides sequels or reboots of past films, studios need to see that there is support for their original ideas and in my opinion, there is no better original movie to go support than this one.
So probably the best part about this film is the cast.  The trailers and the marketing tried to sell this film as a George Clooney movie because he is really the only true star in this film and while he does an excellent job, it is really the other cast members that bring life to the film.  Britt Robertson has been in two films this year so far and I have to admit I am becoming a huge fan of hers.  She is so versatile and so fun to watch that I think she will have a very long career.  Also, Raffey Cassidy does an amazing job.  This is her first big role in a film and she completely steals the show.  She takes over every scene that she is in and is the person that you will be talking about after the film ends.
Overall, I thought this film was amazing.  I would recommend this film to everyone.  It will definitely be more appealing to adults and older children, just because of the content, but there were some pretty young kids in our theater and they seemed to be just as entertained.  This is definitely a film that needs to be seen in theaters.  Tomorrowland is a stunning piece of art and its colors and technology are so vibrant.  This is a great family film to go see and another fantastic film from director Brad Bird.

Thanks again for reading.  If you have any questions, comments, or ideas just let me know!!!
