Judging by his penchant for monologuing, Laurie hasn’t watched The Incredibles, though his big “humanity’s got a problem” speech is actually pretty spot-on.ĭisney's TOMORROWLAND.Casey (Britt Robertson).
It’s great fun, at least until they finally arrive in Tomorrowland and face Laurie and his leather jodhpurs. Once Casey pitches up at his stronghold, this ad-hoc family are pitched through a seamless succession of chases, shootouts and escapes, sending them hurtling through space, time and possibly other dimensions in everything from a bathtub to a steampunk rocket ship hidden inside the Eiffel Tower.Īs he did with The Incredibles, director Brad Bird strikes a playful tone, revelling in retro references, novel gadgetry and the reckless momentum of the action. Frank, on the other hand, has grown into an embittered, reclusive man-genius inventor.

The story proceeds at a brisk pace, the answers to the riddles always one step ahead and mysterious android baddies one step behind.
As Clooney says to her at one point: “Do I have to explain everything to you? Can’t you just be amazed?” Again, it’s difficult to explain – but delightful to watch. Except she’s not really there: she’s just seeing it, like a giant hologram. She, too, receives a Tomorrowland badge which, when she touches it, immediately zaps her to the same future city.

If it looks like an expensive airline commercial, there turns out to be a good reason for that.īut then we’re catapulted to the present day, where curious Nasa engineer’s daughter Casey (Britt Robertson, who could be Jennifer Lawrence’s younger sister) is constantly being told in class how doomed the Earth is, but never how to fix it. Anyway, Tomorrowland itself turns out to be a space-age utopia, full of slender glass skyscrapers and flying trains and citizens apparently dressed by fashion students. It grants him access to a VIP theme-park ride that whisks visitors to a secret world of the future, or a parallel present, or something. A prologue at the 1964 New York World’s Fair sees Frank, a boy-genius inventor who’ll grow up to be George Clooney, given a Tomorrowland badge by a mysterious little English girl. What exactly Tomorrowland is, or even where it is, is difficult to explain.
Whether or not that’s the answer to the planet’s current problems, director Brad Bird deserves praise for packing such big ideas into such an accessible, rip-roaring, retro-futurist adventure. But bolder still is Tomorrowland’s sincere attempt to jump-start humanity’s technological optimism, which it reckons stalled with the decline of the space race with potentially planet-threatening consequences. It’s a brave family movie that invests in high-budget thrills without the safety-net of a franchise brand, mows down a small child with a pickup truck (it’s OK, she’s a robot), and subjects us to the sight of Hugh Laurie in black leather jodhpurs.
