[Movie] Tomorrowland

You're likely doing it wrong.

If you are reading the reviews of this movie that say things like,"

Convoluted and messy plot.

An unspiring muddle of a movie

As a recruiting poster for dreamers it falls short.

A negative for original plots"

If that is what you see, you're doing it wrong.

If you truly understand the words

"Greetings Starfighter.  You have been recruited by the Star League to fight Zurr and the Kodan Armdada"

"Should you need us Sara, you need but call."

"He who shall pull this sword from the stone shall be the rightful king of England."

"Yer' a wizard Harry"

Then this is indeed a recruitment poster.

This a metaphor.

This is poetry of a slightly less convoluted variety than the most experimental films.

This is an experimental film couched in a kids popcorn flick.

This is the Blue Pill.

But more importantly, it is a bright pin left in a place.  Enjoy it as you will I did, but its not for everyone.

If you thought Don Quixote was an amusing old man who tilted at windmills, then you might enjoy this on Net Flix.

If you get that Don Quixote really was the Lord of La Mancha....then it's an excellent litmus test on a metaphoric reality.

There are those who can see the unseen, but will still not get the movie.

There are those who are optimists but who really don't understand the cracks between the world who will not get this movie.

It isn't even for every dreamer.

But if you are a dreamer who dreams in daylight and who sees sunlight not monsters...this movie is for you.

[Movie] Ex Machina

This is a psychological thriller about a Zuckerbergesque fellow who is an amalgam of Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerburg, Bill Gates and the Google Twins in an isolated cabin in the middle of the great vast north, though the exact nature of the place is unspecified.  I'm going to attempt to avoid spoilers, but the thing is that the trailer makes a few things obvious.  The protagonist is there to evaluate a girl, to determine if she is really artificially intelligent or not. 

The film is thoroughly enjoyable and the acting superb.  Obviously, it is a bit of a head game, and the movie is advertized as such.  But it is worth it and the ending is not what you expect without losing itself in the potential complexities that they could have taken with such a film or so typical of "tent pole" movies these days.  This movie is not Inversion, and that is a good thing.

I highly recommend the movie.  It is worth your time if you enjoy cerebral near future sci fi with little action but great acting.  The visual and sound elements of the film are also quite good.  It's fun to watch, just as a thing unto itself.
