Description:Casey (Britt Robertson), a teenage girl finds a mysterious pin that shows her a vision of a Utopian future. She tries to find out where it came from and gets attacked by guys in suits. She's rescued by a young girl, Athena (Raffey Cassidy) who turns out to be a robot. She takes her to the home of Frank Walker (George Clooney). It turns out that Frank had actually been to Utopia years before but was exiled. When Frank and Casey and Athena are attacked again, they take off in a machine that transports them to another dimension where the Utopia that Casey saw is in a state of disrepair. She figures out that the machine that is supposed to predict the future is actually causing the future by sending out waves that people are picking up. These waves are causing them to be pessimistic about the future, which is causing them not to try to fix it, which is causing the very future they fear. Frank and Casey fight off the robots who are trying to stop them. Athena is destroyed and Frank wipes out the negativity machine by dropping her body into it. They then create a bunch of new Athena-type robots who go forth to find positive people to create a Utopian future.

Reviews for Tomorrowland

Review - Tomorrowland

There were bits of fairly interesting potential here, but the movie dies for two big reasons. One, it was just long and boring and confusing. And two, it was liberal, secular humanist propaganda. Made by Disney for those who drink Disney Kool-Aid, the premise is that we can make the world a wonderful place if we all just hope enough (and don't litter and recycle and stop global warming ... that sort of thing). Dumb.
