Deleted Scene From Tomorrowland Could Have Been A Far Superior Alternate Opening To That Film

SPOILERS FOR TOMORROWLAND FOLLOW!!
I had a number of qualms with Tomorrowland, which saddened me considering how much I adored the past features Brad Bird directed. And while there scenes of success in the film, it's, frankly, an extremely poorly written movie, a surprise considering how excellent Birds past endeavors are in terms of storytelling. What's shocking is that there is a way the film could have improved its opening scene, solely by letting this deleted scene, which you can watch below, start the movie off.

Tomorrowland Review

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, There's Always Tomorrow.....For A Better Brad Bird Movie
In the world of Tomorrowland, Blast To The Past is a comic book store run by Kathryn Han and Keegan-Michael Key that plays a critical role within the plot of this movie, and boy howdy, is it fun to search for easter eggs within this setting. Just by nature of being a comic book store, there's plenty of opportunities for fun cameos of characters from other movies, some obvious (R2-D2, and his most notable sound effect, get tossed around) and some subtle (some Simpsons toys are hanging on a shelf, a nice nod to Brad Birds first foray into directing).

Tomorrow, Tomorrowland Should Rule The Box Office

Disney's rollicking 2015 continues this weekend with the release of Tomorrowland, the newest film from Brad Bird, a director whose last three movies (two of which were from Disney) made over $200 million at the domestic box office. It's highly unlikely that trend continues with this new movie, but I also doubt this becomes a mega-dud for all those involved, primarily because of the lack of family movies out right now.

What 2015 Movies Could Make $200 Million? (Part One)


With The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water waaaaaay overperforming with an estimated $56 million opening weekend, it looks like that undersea fella will hit $200 million in it's final gross, becoming the first movie of 2015 to accomplish that task. That got me thinking about what other films could hit that mark at the domestic box office, and I've compiled part one of a list of 15 movies that are likely to hit that mark, as well as a notice on the individual likelihood of each movies chances at hitting that prestigious $200 million mark.

My Three Favorite Movie Ads From The 2015 Super Bowl

Well, aside from that Left Shark, this year's Super Bowl was kinda dull in the non-Football department. The ads were more somber than memorable (that Nationwide commercial being a poster child for the widely prevalent overly dramatic ads this year), but at least three cool movie ads got to be played during the affair.

The First Trailer For The New George Clooney Movie, Tomorrowland, Is Here!!!

Brad Bird. Maybe you don't know the name right off the top of your head, but boy oh boy, you're likely more than aware of his work. The director of several famous Simpsons episodes in the early 90's soon graduated to directing feature films, starting his career off with the masterpiece The Iron Giant, following that with two ventures at PIXAR, The Incredibles and Ratatouille, and then his first live-action film, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. And now, his next film, Tomorrowland, has a trailer that you can watch at the link below. An embedded version will be added shortly.
