3. Tomorrowland
Given the power of those involved, this was a serious letdown. Brad Baird had established himself as a winning director, George Clooney is a major star and the Disney brand based on their popular theme park attraction seemed the icing on the cake. The results ended up a mess as the movie was visually stunning but critics ripped at the storyline as trite and cliché, muddled in its message of whether or not to be optimistic of the future and the acting rough with too much on a “Chosen One” bit than telling a real story. The trailers didn’t help in selling the story to the public and the poor reviews added to the trouble so the over $200 million budget ended up barely making that much, a loss of $75 million and a major black eye to an otherwise good year for Disney.
