There's a lot of action, unanswered questions and convoluted science in Disney's Tomorrowland, a film inspired by Walt's namesake futuristic theme park, mostly to flesh out a premise that's a little thin.
One thing it isn't light on though is a celebration of all things creative and innovative - and it's this Disney trait that pulls you in.
It takes a while for the adventure to take off, with low-key flashbacks introducing us to George Clooney's Frank (once a child genius and now a disillusioned recluse) and Britt Robertson's Casey (a young, bright and scientifically minded teenager), taking us through how they become involved in the experimental project, Tomorrowland.

They're engaging background stories, but, for a film with tweens in the audience, sharpening up the scene-setting would have helped reduced the lengthy 130-minute running time.
