Tomorrowland (2015)


You probably didn’t see Tomorrowland in theatres. Don’t worry, I’m the only one that did. Director Brad Bird sent me a personal card to thank me for my business. But I genuinely don’t believe this film deserved to fail! Tomorrowland is reportedly the project that Bird turned down Star Wars: The Force Awakens to direct and his passion and optimism shines through every frame. A rather meta-text Tomorrowland offers a throwback to the optimistic science fiction futures of the past, arguing that believing the worst will happen will be the downfall of humanity. Rise up! Our plucky, young, female post-Katniss, pre-Rey protagonist does! And there’s magic badges??? This film is wild.
