Tomorrowland (A Lazy Afternoon chat and a movie at CCK Lot 1)

  “What if there was a secret place where nothing is impossible.”

  “Why do you love the stars so much?”  To which she replies, “Because I want to go there.”

 “Even the tinniest of actions could change the future.”

“There are two wolves always fighting.  Darkness and despair and light and hope.  Which one wins?”  To which her father replies, “Which ever one you feed.”

 

“Dreamers need to stick together.  It’s not programming.  It’s personal.”

 

 

“There is always a chance of a better future.”

(Review) My thoughts on Tomorrowland- worth a watch?

For anyone who has not caught Tomorrowland, it is pretty worth a watch.I had an impromptu movie watch with my best friend today and I have to say, the movie has surpassed my expectations (I went in expecting that the movie would be average) :)



Tomorrowland is set as a science fiction film and trades of a vision of an alternate future where anything is possible.

The film begins as a dialogue, a discussion between Frank, played by George Clooney and Casey, by Britt Robertson, a contest between who could tell the best version of how the events actually set about.

Then came one of my favorite parts of the movie where young Franks visits the 1964's World Fair where he presents his homemade jet pack. Though his invention was rejected since it could not work on a 'technical level', he meets a young girl named Athena.



5 o'clock. Tomorrow badge pin.

Upon receiving it, he follows her through a ride, scrambles for a helmet and finds himself in an alternate world. There, a robot fixes his jet pack where he uses it and saves himself from an impending catastrophic fall.



By then, I was already quite excited as to what would be happening next and was quite gripped by the plot. The film switches back to the discussion between Frank and Casey, and I was a little disappointed that it transitioned to Casey's series of events. I wanted more of young Frank and Athena

Nonetheless, it was exciting to see how Casey ventured into Tomorrowland. During her journey, she bashed robots with the help of Athena, escaped from a holographic dog, destroyed George's house (he has a really cool house that destructs intruders on command) and traveled on a rocket via the Eiffel tower at Paris.

I won't spoil the rest of the movie :) The ending was a little abrupt and I really wished there could had been a part II. I loved the concept, but felt that it somehow could have progressed even better.

I have a thing for time/dimension travel movies.

I still like it, and you should watch if you haven't, and give it a chance.

On another note,

I really like how the film plays on the idea of dreamers.

"Dreamers need to stick together. It is not programming. It is personal."

 Aptly placed, if you don't have a vision, then how do you create the future which you want?

If you can't dream it, then how do you set yourself to work towards it?
