Rotten
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.

Exhilarating on every level.

Although "Tomorrowland" never runs out of objects or ideas, its supply of dramatic fuel soon springs a leak.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker

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.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

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.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
