Los Ingobernables de Sala de Cine
I was really disappointed in this movie because I tend to expect more from a Brad Bird film.
Its not that it was even a particularly bad movie...it was just there.
That pretty much conveys my feelings. Most of the movie I just sat there watching at shyt happen like "What's the point, man?". I think the biggest problem is that the movie never really stresses why it's so important to get to Tomorrowland for most of the movie. The girl just finds out it exists and wants to go there, someone is helping her, others are trying to stop her, and we never really know why outside of some vague hints that something bad is going to happen. Two-thirds of the movie is basically spent on some "Look at this super awesome thing here!" "Wow, look at that!" "Isn't this amazing?!" visuals that won't impress anyone outside of maybe kids. And I feel that in a world where we've seen two Avengers movies, not even a lot of kids are going to be wowed by the sight of a really generic jetpack flying sequence.
And then there's just the plain bad stuff like the kid actor who plays young Frank (fukk, that kid was awful) and the writing. You can tell exactly which parts were rewritten/added by Bird and which parts are all Lindelof, because occasionally you see sparks of Bird's greatness and then it hits you with some painfully heavy handed exposition. Like every scene when she's still with her family is just painful. That talk with her kid brother where they literally tell us what her character motivation is, that goddamn fukking wolf story. If there exists a way to make that scene come off even more forced than it is, I'm certain it would be the death of me.
So all in all it's an uneven, uninspired and uninteresting movie. If that's the future, kill me now.
Watching this now.
