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."Written by
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
The idea for Tomorrowland is based on Walt Disney's original plan for a City of the Future (the original concept for EPCOT, Experimental Prototype City Of Tomorrow). It would have been a centrally located city dedicated to showcasing new technology developed at a nearby industrial park. There also would have been a circular outer suburb accessible via monorail for employees and even a dedicated airport. See more »
Goofs
At the very beginning Casey's first tour of Tomorrowland, she watches the 3 guys use the jetpacks. She is standing on a large balcony area with one almost unused, stairway visible in the distance by the Albert Einstein quote. After the 3 guys take off their jetpacks, she walks over in the direction of the racks holding the jetpacks, then looks up as a "hoverrail" train flies over her. When the scene shifts back down, a giant staircase, with many people on it, has appeared behind her. That staircase hadn't existed a few seconds before. Either that, or Casey changed the direction she was walking and ran about 100 feet in the 1 or 2 seconds the view was shifted up at the hover train. See more »

Are they on?
Casey Newton:
Yep, so introduce yourself.
Frank Walker:
Okay. Hey, I'm Frank, how you doing? Don't answer that, that's rhetorical. Okay, let's get you up to speed... this is a story about the future, and the future can be scary...

Alternate Versions
The film's IMAX release presented the film open-matte, at an aspect ratio of 1.90:1, meaning there was more picture information visible in the top and bottom of the frame than in normal theaters and on home video. See more »
A bit uneven and too long (It takes the movie about 30 minutes to really kick into gear). Otherwise I enjoyed the plot of slowly figuring out what is Tomorrowland and what's the purpose behind it all. So it's not a perfect film but a long way from the failure it's made out to be. Brad Bird doesn't disappoint.
I have read quite a lot of negative comments about this movie and even its message and I find that to be slightly odd. From saying science should only concentrate on inventions instead of research to being annoyingly preachy. God forbid if a movie has a message these days and despite it having an agenda I thought the movie was fun and entertaining.
I personally found the message of the movie to be pro-science and to fight the cynicism and apathy that makes it seem it's impossible to save the world from the direction we're going in. I usually feel there's no hope for the human race but I like to see movies that try to convince me otherwise and try to keep the small glimmer of hope alive.
