Cinephile No. 518 “Tomorrowland”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

"Tomorrowland" was about as creative as you can make a neglected part of Disneyland. Now, I will freely admit the first 30 minutes of this film are the best; which is odd. The opening sequence is so creative, unique, futuristic and focused on utopia. I will also freely admit this isn’t George Clooney’s best work. It by no means is “Batman & Robin,” but he has made better films. With that said, I understand giving this script a shot, so he gets a pass from me. Still, I enjoyed this film for the same reason I enjoy the actual Tomorrowland at Disneyland; the future. To tackle the future, is a brave and daring thing. To do it in film, invites critique and conversation, but it also requires imagination. For me, “Tomorrowland” had plenty of that.


Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
