Description
Seems like Brad Bird's sci-fi opus has come under some scrutiny, so what could I possibly offer as a counterargument, especially to the much denounced ending?---------------

Fascinating. 
If nothing else, maybe it will inspire someone to make better movies.
I really loved the scenes in the visionary future;
But, I had some problems, not so much with the ending,
as the middle of how we'd got to the end.
Cheers.Β

I find the lack of TomorrowLand fan art on DA disturibing

Fan art can be a very double edged sword though...

I thought Nix was brilliant too, with the ending treating him like 'the bad guy' in direct contrast to how he actually was.. his death was just a convenience and having Frank and whatserface be in charge after it happened was simply ludicrous. An intruder and an exiled person multiple security people knew wasn't supposed to be there, suddenly being put in charge? There's convenience and then there's crazy-talk.
I really liked the movie not so much for the heavy-handed 'you have to actually try to change the future' tone but the underlying 'Tomorrowland was built by stealing the best and brightest from Earth' theme right alongside the 'why does Tomorrowland look barely like the commercial? What went wrong in this place supposedly built on brilliance and dreams?'

Except that at the end, they bring the dreamer's of the present in to Tomorrowland.
I'm confused because if they take out the dreamers of the present and bring them to Tomorrowland, it also seems like they stay to make Tomorrowland a better place (as Frank did before he was banished, because if I remember correctly, he made the machine thing that they had to destroy later on). I would be all for the end if they took the dreamers to Tomorrowland to be inspired, and back to the present to make the present a better place. Or is Tomorrowland already the future of the present and so improving it would improve the future of the Earth anyway? I'm just really confused.

Although it's called Tomorrowland, it's in a different dimension. They do basically steal the best of humanity to further their own society.

I just took it as they bring them there to show them the pinnacle of such an achievement, and then probably send them back, even more inspired.

Whew okay! Although that doesn't really explain what happened to Frank, but I guess that will just be up for interpretation too.Β

I recently saw the movie, it actually gave me a little faith in humanity (and I thought I couldn't get any back)
