Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

ohmydarling-99414 I enjoyed the humor and the realism towards the human minds while around different types of people and their curiosity towards others who they've had yet to get to know much about, in regards to fear, attraction, suspicion and confusion. I like the fact that it actually shows the realistic qualities of the human brain, but visually. As for the portions towards the girls and their flirtatious behavior in general (via walking around attracting attention, flipping, dancing, hugging up on each other, in my opinion a bit sensually at times.) made me a bit uncomfortable. As well as the father being attracted to any woman or girl besides his wife and daughter (his daughter, preferably he not be attracted to, of course.), that showed (off) a larger portion of their skin. I am aware that many people of closer relation to one another, often hug up to each other and get close, as it's a natural reflex and level of comfort for many, but the fact that it was sensual, it made me uncomfortable. A few parts made me cringe. Both in good ways and bad. But all in all, the movie wasn't awful in my opinion and I though the acting to be well done. So, good on the actors as well as the director. :)

SquigglyCrunch Escape from Tomorrow follows a family on their last day in Disneyland and how everything goes wrong in the oddest of ways. I mostly understood this movie. The characters were compelling, they had their own exaggerated, but realistic, struggles in life that they had to deal with, specifically the husband, Jim. But there were a few points that got really weird. Closer to the hour mark everything gets really surreal and slowly it stops making sense. While it's not necessarily a bad thing, it just kind of happens and comes off as weird and obscure. And the fact that the characters aren't at all scared or confused and seem to believe that whatever's happening is perfectly normal, somewhat. It's all just very different. Overall I don't know how to review this movie. It's weird, it surreal, some things don't make any sense. But I liked it. The story was strong enough to support the odd parts, and those parts were kind of cool regardless. On top of that there's a lot of discussion to be had about this movie. It's not a movie I can really explain, you just have to see it. In the end I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

aliases-53334 I am honestly not sure what I have been watching... nor do I care. Escape from Tomorrow - an epic tale of a pervert dad chasing teenagers and attempting the wtf award. This movie is not horror by any sense of the word, but more of an attempt for some artistic flick, failed miserably at that. Just because a film is in black and white does not make it cool. Just because it is weird and un-watchable does not make it brilliant. I get the sense that the director tried to be very original and ground breaking. It didn't work. You can sense that unnatural effort with every scene, and it's sad because the director forgot that the viewers are interested in enjoying the movie too. All I was thinking about is I wish I could go back to Disneyland and have some pancakes. And that the ending was probably the best thing that happened to that poor wife.

Joseph Pezzuto "Checking in?" "That we are." Opening at Sundance in January 2013, with a reception of mixed reviews afterwards, 'Escape From Tomorrow' is an American fantasy horror film shot in chilling monochrome and shot on location in Walt Disney World and Disneyland...without permission respectively. The cast and skeleton crew used guerrilla filmmaking techniques to avoid attracting attention, keeping their scripts on iPhones and shooting on the video mode of two Canon EOS digital single-lens reflex cameras. Having a reputation for aggressively protecting its intellectual property, Disney has been tolerant of visitors uploading their videos of their visits on YouTube and elsewhere, since most of those user-created videos create a positive atmosphere of the parks. However, director Randy Moore did not expect to get permission to shoot there, given his negative, surreal portrayal of the happiest place on Earth. Though having been compared to the works of Roman Polanski and David Lynch, many who saw the film expressed strong doubts that it would be shown to a wider audience due to legal issues involved and the negative depiction of Disney's theme parks. The company said that they were "aware" of the film and, rather than suppress it, they decided to ignore it, and thus 'Escape' was edited in South Korea and released simultaneously to theaters and video-on-demand on October 11, 2013, through PDA, a Cinetic Media company. So...why does this film exist again? Let's take a look.We open on a shirtless Jim White (Roy Abramsohn), an American everyman on the balcony of the hotel of which he and his family are vacationing at the aforementioned theme park with his wife and two kids. Upon his boss calling him and informing him that he has lost his job, he keeps the news to himself as to not upset the family's remaining time at the resort on their last day there. Taking the monorail to the park, he encounters two Parisian girls named Isabelle (Annet Mahendru) and Sofie (Danielle Safady), and his interests and inner lusts for them increases as their paths cross repeatedly in the park either by accident or by means of deliberation. After a fight with his wife Emily (Elena Schuber) in not taking their son Elliot on Space Mountain (which gives him motion sickness) he then takes his daughter Sara to the Magic Kingdom rides only to keep up his pursuit of the French girls.On the night of the premiere, film critic Drew McWeeny wrote: "It is not possible that this film exists". It is actually hard for me to believe as well...but it does. While others may see this as such, or as just a terrible movie, I see it more as of a character study...whilst also agreeing with everyone else, of course. Perhaps the happiest place on Earth is not only black and white to our eyes but through the eyes of Jim as well...not only when he had lost his job that day but maybe the whole time he was in fact there. The magical utopia that are Disney theme parks of fake castles and anthropomorphic rodents, for him, have become nothing more than a flavorless underworld of disturbing animatronics, princesses posing as hookers for rich Asian businessmen and finally, with hilarious but stupid effects (After Effects mostly throughout), the cat flu. Reported on Movies.com that people were already calling it "the ultimate guerrilla film", the tedious flick plays out as if its viewers are stuck in a car on a ride polar-opposite from The Haunted Mansion: A man is decapitated riding Big Thunder Mountain, 'JESUS' is written in the sky, a scientist is really an android. And the viewer may never look at the Epcot Center the same way again after Jim makes an observation a la double-entendre. Audaciously chimerical,smutty, uncomfortably dark and poignantly surrealistic, 'Escape From Tomorrow' lingers in the mind long afterwards and definitely remains an offbeat thriller nonetheless of relentless and inventive film-making, showing us the power of what can truly be done with a micro-budget over the power of imagination. I personally have not had my own personal 'Escape' experience when I paid my ticket to see Uncle Walt last summer in California, but I did however smile to myself while waiting in line that I had indeed seen the movie, and the only comparison between the Disney theme parks and that film are this...in that they both exist.
