It's hard to say exactly who the audience is for this packed-to-the-brim, sci-fi/action-adventure/family romp.
Alison Willmore
Though it's not director Brad Bird's first retro-futuristic rodeo, Tomorrowland is his most stridently sermonizing.
Drew Hunt
An aggressively optimistic script admonishes the lazy and irresolute and urges humanity to end war and save the environment; the proselytizing burdens an already onerous plot.
Andrew O'Hehir
Exhilarating on every level.
Anthony Lane
Although "Tomorrowland" never runs out of objects or ideas, its supply of dramatic fuel soon springs a leak.
Christopher Orr
Until its final act, Tomorrowland plays as a lighthearted techno-conspiracy thriller, Men in Black by way of Nancy Drew with the occasional whiff of Philip K. Dick paranoia and Pixarian high concept.
James Berardinelli
For a while, it doesn't matter that the plot meanders. The story seems like a jigsaw puzzle inviting us to solve it. That's the fun part. However, when the resolution is presented, it underwhelms.
Bob Mondello
While Tomorrowland's sermonizing left me feeling grumpy... it may well have an entirely different effect on impressionable children.
Alex Pappademas
We like apocalyptic futures, one character says, because they ask nothing of us; Tomorrowland can't quite sell the alternative, but at least it dares to imagine something different.
