Did Disney Bring The Magic In 'Tommorowland'?

We've heard about Disney's Tomorrowland for years now. Brad Bird's mystery adventure had George Clooney attached from the outset and the story of a former boy genius jaded by dilussionment who teams up with an optmisitic teen to unearth the secrets of a hidden land certainly sounds like classic Disney fare. But how has it fared with the critics?

"For all of its vaulting ambition, its sumptuous eye-feasts and its leapings back and forth in space and time, "Tomorrowland" never comes together as coherent drama in the here and now," said Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal.

"It's surprisingly hollow entertainment -- a film with noble intentions and grand aspirations that drags us along for a two-hour adventure that we never really care about," wrote Kirk Baird of Toledo Blade.

Tommorowland is out on Friday (May 22, 2015).
