In the early 2010's Disney tried to recapture the magic of Pirates of the Caribbean by pumping out big budget blockbusters that went on to bomb at the box office. 2015's Tomorrowland is great example of this. In this video essay I examine what exactly went wrong, and offer some of my thoughts on the film.

@@fewcusi Ares isn’t going to be exactly a sequel to Legacy, that movie was supposed to have a proper follow up continuing the story of the characters in that movie and being directed by the same guy. It was going to be called “Tron:Ascension” and it even got a 10 minutes short released called “Tron: The next Day” that was supposed to connect the events of Legacy with this sequel. You can look it up if you want more details. But basically Tomorrowland bombed so hard that Disney had to cut costs and cancel a bunch of projects, and unfortunately Tron: Ascension was one of them.

One of the saving graces, for me, was Hugh Laurie's monologue at the climax of the movie. What he's says is so relevant and topical that just watching him say it over and over is what made me want to hold on to this movie. It's pretty much how i feel about Rocky's monologue with his son, in the movie "Rocky Balboa". Even if most of a movie doesn't capture peoples' interest, you can always find at least one scene in it that makes it an instant guilty pleasure for some people to latch onto it.

Yeah just from these clips I’m surprised this movie is so violent. Not to say the violence is bad, but for a “family friendly romp” I’m not expecting to see a child get hit by a car, or a girl beating someone to death with a baseball bat (I think they’re robots, but the robots look indistinguishable from humans so it plays into my point). It’s really gritty for a family movie, which seems out of place for a movie named after a theme park meant to be hopeful about the innovations of the future

I do agree one of the only big issues I had with this movie was it was about a futuristic sci-fi world and they spent most of their time in the boring real world.

Why did Disney think they could fight Universal's golden goose: the Jurassic Park franchise with something nobody knew about?? Jurassic World made over $1 billion in pure profits worldwide and spawned several sequels. Universal bet the farm on an established, legendary franchise. Disney bet the farm but didn't want to play any aces. This is like having nothing on the table while your opponent (Universal!) puts down a straight flush! Every time I went to see Jurassic World, the theaters were crowded.

This film had very little to offer in story, which is why the marketing had nothing to go on. Instead, they focused on the visuals, which were just as bland and vapid as the hackneyed narrative. Disney could've literally done anything with this property but came up empty. And, that's how this movie feels: empty. I know there are devoted fans for this film, but it wasn't enough.

I’d highly recommend watching a fan edit of tomorrowland called the dreamers cut. I can even send it to you if you’re not able to find yourself :-) it’s greatly reframes and adds more substantial meaning to the movie through with deleted scenes and restructuring of the movie, of which do you not agree that’s at least some of the deleted scenes could’ve helped with the movie here?

Just sought this out and watched it... This was what the film was supposed to be! A decade later the underlying themes & messaging are more relevant than ever but they are antiethical to the ethos of modern regressive Disney so they buried the film, mangled the final edit & threw Brad Bird in director jail for questioning the Mouse House's hypocritcal lack of ethics.

Disney spent years being coy aboutand were trying to make it a mystery and Modern Audiences have zero patience or desire to take a chance on something new, much less completely unknown. I don’t remember if I liked it or not, but I generally love Britt Robinson. This movie really nurt her career. I will never understand how some actors can survive bomb after bomb, while others have one and they are relegated to low tier stuff after that.

They actually had an interesting arg marketing camping that had nods to Da Vinci Code-like alternative history secret society stuff. They also released a prequel book before the film released which also heavily included historical events and characters. It had nazi mechs (if I remember correctly) and some other ridiculous stuff but generally it felt less cartoony and childish when compared to the film. I think the main concept was that "what if forward thinking historical people had actually succeeded in accomplishing their most ambitious dreams or even more" e.g. Amelia Earhart not dying but instead finding a parallel reality, or Walt Disney building his EPCOT. None of that cool world building was used in the movie in any meaningful way. If they had gone with the "Da Vinci Code meets alternative history scifi" story, instead of the cartoony action movie with a heavy handed message, I think the movie could've been more popular. In the prequel book there's an illustration of smiling Einstein looking thoughtfully at a dog while other historical figures argue on the background. It's such a cool, memorable image, and yet there's nothing like it in the movie.

I'm a sucker for films that FEEL like they can be "something big and epic" while being played up with a lot of mystery. I'm a sucker for the allure of the "This is going to surprise everyone and deliver and take the world by storm" kind of POTENTIAL that films have. The problem is, that the film itself must actually deliver in spades. It needs to BE Star Wars/Jurassic Park/Avatar to really reach that massive potential....and it still needs to look appealing enough to get a large enough audience interested in the first place. So I had all kinds of hope for the potential of this film. Then I saw it, and while not terrible...it just "isn't it" in terms of that pie in the sky success. Shame, if they had pinched pennies, and streamlined it. If it had a $100M budget and a 100 minute run-time...it wouldn't have been so indulgent on random eye-candy, and wouldn't have stretched the plot too thin for its own good. It might have really clicked enough to be a proper hit in its own right.

Even though this movie wasn't super exciting and I only saw it one time, the aura/hype around it still holds a special place in my heart. It came out when I was graduating from elementary school to middle school. The movie's promotion has this really cool vibe of new beginnings and a "brave new world." During this time I myself was really excited for both my and the world's future, so it reflected it well. I was excitedly imagining which field I would go into in college, so the idea of a city of all these new technologies was really exciting to me. During the summer in between, I actually visited Dubai which reminded me of the so-called Tomorrowland. When I flew back home to start middle school very soon, I watched this movie for the first and only time on the plane; it was not really what I had hoped. But its optimism stuck with me, and so I always associate this movie with a youthful optimism for the future from a more innocent time.

Saw it as an adult on one of the streaming services and while I really wanted to like it (really liked the whole vibe of the 50/60s sci fi theme), it just never landed as you said. It felt very long winded and boring, but also that it was trying too hard to set out the scene for a 3/4 films coming. Also the two parts that really stuck with me was as someone else said the incredibly creepy romance part and the fact that they were essentially stealing 'great minds' at the end. It's played off as a joyus thing, but the fact their enticing people with problem solving skills etc away to another planet, just left me feeling like a "Well thanks alot guys" moment.

Makes sense. Disneyland Paris also doesnt have a Tomorrowland, Instead they have Discoveryland. And so while Tomorrowland in other Disney resorts around the world focus on either 1950's retrofuturism or tries (and fails) to constantly look modern, Discoveryland has a Steampunk designphilosophy, inspired by the works of Jules Verne like Journey to the moon and 20.000 leagues under the sea.

The best parts of the movie were shown in the trailer, I think that there was an eco message in there which is always a turn off for me (I can only do so much to save the planet) and when we finally get to Tomorrowland, it's just in complete ruins. All that build-up of what we might get in the final act through the hologram video, just for the city to be barren and grey.
