Kind of like Tim Robbins' fate in the War Of The Worlds remake almost made It watchable.

OK - glad I read all the comments. I won't be seeing this in the movies - I vote with my money (even the pennies) whenever possible. I won't support propaganda (for the sake of full disclosure, and if I'm being honest with myself, at least the propaganda I don't agree with :)

Glad to hear this - I tend to shy away from anything with George Clooney. Since this comes from a fellow Gulcher, I will give it a second look see.

Sounds tedious in this review. Thanks for the link.

Tommorowland was panned on io9, but it was panned with a negative comment that labeled it as John Galtist - so I had it on my watch list.

I may see it today or tomorrow.

I try to keep an artist's politics separate from his work. In some cases a good or even great artist may have loony philosophical ideas, often because of concentrating on the art to the exclusion of other pursuits. One of the exceptions is George Clooney. He is at best a mediocre actor. His greatest claim to fame is that he is a great practical jokester. Based on the review, it's too bad he is in the movie, but I'll put aside my disgust for this excuse for a person and go see the film, even though it contains looney Clooney. (I loved his Aunt Rosemary's singing.)

That is exactly what my wife and I were discussing yesterday.

Of all the actors the producers could has picked, Clooney is troubling. I put him alongside Sean Penn but for different reasons.

I am disappointed, but not surprised, at the ever present (not just in this movie) theme that all the problems and crises of the plot have been caused by the planet-wide horrendous destruction wrought by greed callous "captains of industry" (Tomorrowland words) and that the government is unable or unwilling to "fix".

If they could just drop this tired old cliche, not essential or even necessarily relevant to the story (as is often the case with this stowaway pc agenda), the film would have been quite good and fun.

That looks like a Disney "ride."

I recall Clooney turning my stomach when he insisted that Watters of Watters World call Obama "President Obama" when I was watching the O'Reilly Factor several weeks ago.
I haven't let his presence stop me from seeing some great movies such as Gravity. At least his character suffocated in that flick.

Clooney............. I'll pass

I can't stomach George Clooney, either.

I really liked it, and I also recommend the movie. It struck an interesting conversation on the ride back home.

I'll read it before I watch it. I can't stomach George Clooney.

I'm eager to see it. My wife will watch anything with George Clooney in it, even if it's science fiction.

We are going to head out and watch it this afternoon. Thanks for the recommendation.

Intrigued. The very long preview I saw didn't seem Disneyesque, but then what Disney movie is these days? Anyone else out there like/dislike it?

recovering from porn addiction?! what?!

thanks, jns. someone had posted on this and asked. good to know!
