Tomorrowland: two hours of propaganda

TOMORROWLAND

Translated: “aren’t you sorry you spent your cash?”

Yes, go ahead, you can say it: “you didn’t see that coming, BZ?  George Clooney?  Disney?  The trailers?”

Apparently I wasn’t paying attention until the film started.

After a few minutes, I knew I’d been bilked by Clooney, Purple Skies, and Leftist Hypocrisy (my wife liked the CGI).

In summary: global warming and corporatism is going to kill us all in just a few years.  Adults won’t help; we can only enlist young ethnic kids wearing colorful clothing all around the planet.  Everyone but “them” are nothing but Big Evil Carbon Footprinters.

However, the film (“oddly enough”) is littered with big corporate names like GM and Chevrolet.  Clooney and the producers don’t mind taking their corporate cash and displaying their products, clearly.

There.

You’ve just seen the film.  I have now saved you anywhere between $6 and $15, depending on where you live.

You’re welcome.

P.S.
For a holiday “blockbuster,” Tomorrowland had the worst Memorial Day weekend take since 2001.  In other words, it’s tanking.  About a half hour into the film, someone behind us said: “I should’ve waited for Redbox.”
