As much a I love dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and otherwise
bleak science fiction—that’s kind of my jam if you missed my giddy excitement
for Mad Max: Fury Road—the darkness and weight can get
overwhelming from time to time. So I certainly understand where director Brad
Bird and writer Damon Lindelof are coming from with
Tomorrowland, trying to provide a more hopeful vision of the
future. Unfortunately, I wish they’d stayed where they were instead of
developing this smarmy, too-proud-of-itself movie.
