Tomorrowland (2015)
5/10
Bad premiss, horrible Clooney but pretty fun movie anyway
26 February 2024
The main premiss of this movie is that the world is doomed for destruction because of global warming and overpopulation. Both notions are of course complete fiction and more laughable claims than anything in this movie. With that faulty premiss, we are then suppose to trust in... positive thinking... or something. Apparently kids can change the world and fix non-existing problems with a lovely attitude and with the help of a magical Mcguffin.

With this in mind we also get a very preachy, very overacting George Clooney who is acting the worst of his career.

With that said, this is still kinda fun. I enjoy most of this movie, and as long as Clooney is not in it too much and especially not talking this is a decent movie. This could easily have been excellent entertainment. Perhaps if the evil WEF and the actual global cooling (which is a real thing) would have been the center of attention, and if we exchanged Clooney for someone who can act, then suddenly you have a good movie. There are a few directorial misses too, so I would also change the director and then this would have been excellent.

As is I give this a 5/10. Not the worst, and not too bad. I would say this is watchable, but I cannot recommend.
