Tim Mc Graw. Hugh Laurie. Britt Robertson. Despite an A-list leading man in George Clooney and a scene in which Katheryn Hahn plays a ray gun-shooting robot as good as it sounds , the film bombed. But Tomorrowland deserves more than its reputation as the flop that damned Hollywood to a decade of franchise films.
A better financial return on his film might have meant more original stories, some of which might even have replicated its can-fix attitude towards tomorrow. Maybe Bird and company would have been better off heeding Frank's advice to Casey: "Must I explain everything to you? Can't you just be impressed and move on? But if you treat "Tomorrowland" mainly as an immense cinematic theme park that unveils a new "ride" every few minutes—just as Bird's last feature, "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" was mainly a series of action scenes—its weaker aspects won't be deal-breakers.
In this sense, if in no other, Bird's latest owes more to "Metropolis," " Blade Runner ," " Dark City ," the first " Tron " and other works of top-shelf eye-candy than to most of the SF-and-fantasy-tinged franchise entries that modern studios churn out. Bird conceives the entire picture as a series of clockwork suspense sequences involving laserguns, plasma bombs, hidden doors and gates and passageways and tunnels, vertigo-inducing climbs and falls, serpentine hover-trains, machines and structures that fold and unfold and split, and humans that might not be human.
With the aid of a time-travel device that looks like a souvenir button, present-day panoramas vanish, disclosing landscapes in a "Jetsons" vein. There are jet packs, monorails, robots that clomp and clank, and zero-gravity swimming pools that are just puck-shaped masses of water hanging in midair. There are moments where people exist simultaneously in two time periods while walking, running, falling or driving, and a scene near the end that's so unabashedly sentimental, yet so emotionally complex and confounding, that I can honestly say I've never seen anything like it.
The film is a personal work of art that seems born of stubborn passion. It's definitely not an assembly-line product, despite the way that some sequences evoke deliberately, would seem actual assembly lines.
If it's a bit irritating or dull at times, it's because it seems clear that Bird knows why he's showing us these things, and what he hoped to achieve by visualizing them in this manner, but he and his co-writers including co-scenarist Jeff Jensen can't find a graceful way to communicate it.
