Storyline
Bound by a shared destiny, a bright, optimistic teen bursting with
scientific curiosity and a former boy-genius inventor jaded by
disillusionment embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets
of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space that exists in their
collective memory as "Tomorrowland."
Reviews
If
you can overlook the shoddy sets, painted backdrops, lousy dubbing, and
mediocre scriptwork, Tomorrowland is actually a halfway decent and
somewhat watchable little flick. It starts out in rip roaring fashion,
with our hero (genre veteran George Cloonney) watching an out of control
man rip the bodice from a struggling girl from an alternate dimension
called Tomorrowland. Incensed by this brutality and no doubt offended by
the film's one and only true PG- 13 scene, she rams her fist through a
brick wall and kills the man with mannikin magic!. Enter the film's male
hero, a reclusive inventor and a relentlessly curious teen, who scolds
his sister for opening the portal on this deadly and forbidden realm.
The story then commences in earnest, as these clowns end up protecting a
poor orphan girl who has a valuable future object that a nefarious
criminal syndicate is desperate to obtain. Much mayhem ensues, though
the film remains chaste and relatively bloodless after its promising
beginning. Like most Disby cheapies, the film lifts musical cues from
the studio's legendary past--most notably in this case, Disby Land
itself ! Disby video also includes some rather unique features,
including a copyright notice plastered across the opening 30 seconds of
the feature, and a narrated copyright warning after the film is over!
