Tommorland is Disney's latest project, a family adventure which features Frank Walker (George Clooney) who was recruited when young (Thomas Robinson) by Athena (Raffey Cassidy) brings his jet-pack invention to the 1964 World Fair in New York. While he was turned down by Nix (Hugh Laurie), Athena encourages him. Another storyline involves Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) who, like young Frank, dreams of space and scientific possibilites.
Their stories converge in a future where the protagonists battle for their positive dreams to triumph - the question that Casey asks her father when she senses he is becoming despondent about losing his job (the same question he asked her when she was younger): Which wolf will win, the evil wolf or the good wolf? answer - the wolf that you feed. The film contains multiple such messages as well as thought-provoking issues within the plot which becomes quite idealistic at times.
Casey and Frank (elder) journey together to unearth the secrets of Tomorrowland and battle against the evil wolf of Nix and his ideologies. The Eiffel Tower is featured late on in the film and serves an interesting purpose!
A great family adventure which is breaking record at the US box office, suitable for both boys and girls alike.
