Tomorrowland

[Shaun @ Tru6]

A little island of hope in an ocean of dystopian movies we've been swimming in for years. They have been all the rage forever now, don't know why.

Good movie, nice message.

Thanks Shaun. I'm going to have to take my wife to see it.

Check out Whiplash also. Wow.

I worked on it for 9 months, we shot most of it in Vancouver, with the corn fields East of there. We also filmed in Paris and Valencia, Spain. I thought the script came together much better than I would have expected. I thought they cast Athena, the young girl robot, very well, the rest, not so much. Its doing really poor in the box office.

We had NO serious accidents, in the early scene where the boy is falling reaching for his jet pack,it was done in one of those air suspension systems where he is suspended above a huge fan, we did failure rate analysis, noise testing, and outfitted the kid with molded ear plugs. Where the Kid was flying he had double redundant life lines.

Flying a Kid was a big deal for the show. The theater, in general, has flown kids for 2,000 years, but we're Disney, it was a big effing deal for us flying a kid. Every rope, pulley, pick point was engineered, tested, logged, inspected and inspected again, and tested again. There was no effing way anyone, especially a kid was going to get injured, in anyway on my watch. One thing I LOVE about Disney, we are first and foremost about kids, especially in TV and Film, let alone our theme parks. We spend an insane amount of money on Safety. You my run down the "corporate rats", (NOTA take notice) but not us.

Vampires movies... now dystopian. I'm sure we'll end up checking this one out, if it lasts long enough at the theaters.

Have to wonder how long it will last, but hoping the dystopian trend lasts long enough for my niece's latest book to end up as a film. Lot's of reviewers have said it's got film potential. Keeping my fingers crossed for her.

Wife and I saw it yesterday and give it a thumbs up.

Saw it last weekend, we'll done, good effects, etc, i feel it was a bit rushed towards the end, but good flick.

[Z-man]

Mrs. Z and I saw it at the Drive Inn - and we were not impressed. Special effects were great, but the plot was a bit lacking... Liked the New York scenes - that was a nice connection.

Disney seems to be batting about 500 on their ride-to-movie flicks. The pirates franchise is amazing, however Haunted Mansion was ridiculously bad. I'll probably watch this at some point (netflix in a year or so most likely) but I won't have my hopes up high.

Saw it yesterday with my son (12). Very cool!
My son had a completely different understanding about the time/place/dimension-travels in the movie. It was nice discussing that afterwards.

Clooney was great!

BUT: was this production sponsored by Tesla?
I saw Tesla in one scene and after the movie the animation showed the HyperLoop!

[Laneco]

Steve and I saw it about a week ago and both of us really enjoyed it. I also wondered if Tesla kicked in for the movie.

Loved the hopeful message and the encouragement to think outside of the box!
