generationofswine I liked this.I mean, it wasn't full of action and drama, but that really never mattered to me. I don't need technicolor or car chases or CGI out the wazoo to enjoy a film.Really what you have here is a story about a depressed man on vacation that is dealing with a little midlife crisis and still trying to please his family before hitting them with the bad news.You get into his head and his delusions and, like all indie films, it relies on a smart script because it, well, that is all it has going for it.There are better movies out there, but Escape from Tomorrow is entertaining for what it is and the resources they had to make it with. You can't really judge it against films like Goodfellas that had all the support budget and star power to win over audiences.The film takes dedication to watch and the pay off is there if you have the patience required for indie films.

sol- Uncertain of why he was fired from work, a father-of-two does not heed the advice of his former boss and lets his imagination run wild while on vacation at Disneyland in this one-of-a-kind guerrilla movie. Shot on location at Disneyland and Disney World, apparently without permission, the movie is worth checking out simply for the unique spin that the filmmakers place on the popular amusement parks. Lusciously shot in black and white, the filmmakers emphasise every single shadow and manage to bring out something ominous in all of the buildings and rides. Clocking in at nearly 90 minutes though, the film feels incredibly long given the slimness of the premise. The story basically consists of the father slowly losing his mind, and while there is initially some doubt as to whether or not it is all in his head, this quickly disappears and things soon become fairly repetitive, some mood-destroying scatological humour near the end aside. Even if not entirely engaging the whole way through, 'Escape from Tomorrow' is an easy film to appreciate. The "bad things happen everywhere" agenda works well as the film focuses on the daughter tripping and falling and the son experiencing motion sickness, quite aside from the father losing his marbles. Roy Abramsohn also does well making his lecherous character come off as sympathetic. His job anxiety truly resonates and it is easy to feel for his desire to feel youthful again by following the two French teenagers around. What exactly his final appearance at the end is meant to signify though is anybody's guess.

baronvonpiano I just now finished watching "Escape From Tomorrow", and I must say, I was impressed. I didn't expect much. I expected it to be as cheesy as Sharknado, maybe even cheesier. But it was a great movie. But I have no idea how they managed to shoot some scenes in guerrilla format. For example, the part where Jim was imagining Spaceship Earth exploding (I couldn't help but laugh) how could they film a scene like that without some bystander pointing, saying "Hey! How come that guy is filming those people running around like the spaceship earth is rolling around?" I also thought the ending was confusing. It showed him dead with a creepy cat face, but then it showed him still alive and with a new family. What the heck? But overall, "Escape From Tomorrow" was a great movie, and I wouldn't mind watching it again and again.

sweeneytoddmusical Warning: This review may be strongly opinionated.I did not like this film as a Disney fan, or even a horror fan. I was sort of expecting him to imagine this all out machine-uprising in the middle of one of my favorite parks, but instead it's just some weird cat based, sexual mental illness? I'm not even sure I understood exactly what this movie was about.And I was heavily annoyed by the constant unclear cuts between shots filmed in DISNEYLAND and shots filmed in Disney WORLD. This may be just because I've got autism, but I am very particular about anything involving my Disney...I was also very upset by the mother having such an issue with her man even so much as touching her arm in front of the kids, and I became really enraged with her as an annoying character when she denied her little girl just one freaking balloon and then slapped her across the face in public. I know she was anxious because she knew her husband was eyeing another girl, but still... What the fudge?? Why, just because of that, yell at your kid at a Disney park and tell her she can't have a Mickey balloon before hitting her? It's not her fault. At this point, the mom was BEYOND help for me, and I felt sorry for the kids when I saw their father died and they were left with mommy. The dad, even with his issues, seemed to be a way better parent. He knew when to be more firm, and when not to be, and he was really trying to make this vacation the best one his kids ever had. He was even willing to wait in the longest line ever for his son to ride Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. The mom DID take the daughter on the Teacups and Dumbo, but that was about the most fun she ever allowed either kid to have with her around at the parks. Everything else almost was her controlling everything. (Except on the Three Caballeros, I could understand her making them look at things they weren't looking at already there.) Also, this didn't bug me really but I would be curious to ask the daughter why she thought Queen Grimhilde was so scary??? I wasn't afraid of her at that age. :/ As a matter of fact, I really liked her as a Disney villainess from a young age. I'm really glad they still made her go on the Snow White ride though- because in watching this movie I got to "go with them" on my favorite "deceased" ride once again, this time in a really cool looking black and white tint palette.Anyway though, I'll give it to the movie directors for trying to make something bold. Maybe this movie just isn't my cup of tea. But I certainly won't recommend it to my fellow Walt Disney fanatics- the EPCOT ball catches on fire and explodes in an ugly vision, the mother forces the family to go to the non-classic fireworks that are not featured at Cinderella Castle, for the love of god if you love It's A Small World do not watch this movie, and if you're a die-hard fan and you know about Walt's issue with names... You may have mixed feelings about them referring to him as "Mr. W". He ASKED to be called WALT. Not "Mr. Disney", not "Mr. Walt", not "Mr. W". Just WALT.Also, try not to let it annoy you that the Princesses at the parks are NOT wearing official Disney Parks Cast Member Princess gowns, if things like that do annoy you.Looking at this movie from a horror genre point of view, the black and white was a nicely suspenseful item, but it did nothing to hide the fake special effects and makeup. But since this is a fairly new movie, I'm guessing those things were a deliberate move. Maybe for comedy relief. I often never realize it when a black comedy bites me in the rear end. The only time I've ever realized it was with Sweeney Todd... And maybe Beetlejuice. Tim Burton's been the only man ever to be able to help me know a black comedy when I see it. In that case, this movie is pretty bold, if it is a black comedy. It's a good try, and for the horror fans, worth at least one watch, maybe. But it is definitely not an award winner.
