This week's blockbuster stars George Clooney, Hugh Laurie and Brit Robertson in a sci-fi/fantasy family drama. And if it sounds like we’re not that enthusiastic about such a prospect, it’s because we’re not. Okay it looks fun (ish) and many UAE residents will undoubtedly be amused that the “city of the future” looks remarkably like an artist’s impression of Dubai in 20 years, but the story just seems a tad insipid.

The plot is a bit of a mystery, so all we can say is Robertson and Clooney are able to travel to another point in space and time (usually a massive thumbs up from us, but it is not a time-travel film) and it’s great. Voila - your film synopsis ladies and gents.

Tommorowland looks harmless enough and may even contain a decent message, it could be a case of the previews letting it down, but don’t blame us if you do nod off half way through.

IMDb gives it 7.8 and Rotten Tomatoes has it at 75%
