A beautiful treat for the eyes. One of this film's strengths is that it regularly dazzles viewers with the exciting things portrayed onscreen. It really is stunning. Another of the movie's strengths is that it thankfully has some substance to back up all that flash. While perhaps a bit uneven at times, "Tomorrowland" has a nice message and a decent plot to keep people invested until the end.  It's just a shame the characters aren't more interesting. The entire cast is made up of some very talented actors and actresses. I mean heck, it's got George Clooney. Unfortunately the majority of them are playing bland character-types we've all seen before. They lack true depth and are just there to carry the plot forward and get that message across. The only one I cared about was Raffey Cassidy's "Athena." She absolutely steal the show here and outdoes Clooney himself. It's a real treat to see her work.  The "never stop dreaming" message is a good one and is presented in an exciting and fresh manner. There's plenty of action, humor, and heart to be found here. It's just a shame the heart part falls short thanks to the majority of the characters being boring. The "science" behind the film might make realists want to throw something at the screen, but as Clooney says in the film "why can't you just be amazed and move on?"  Tomorrowland is an entertaining movie. One with a lot of flash and excitement. The substance backing it all up might not always be up to snuff, but it's enough to keep things entertaining until it's end. While not perfect it's still worth a watch. Especially with such a good message for the kids. There's even one for the grownups.
