I rewatched the film in May, and had a mix of remembering my past impressions as well as forming new impressions in the context of 2025. A lot has changed in the past 10 years. Worth a separate blog post.

Welcome to the May 2025 edition of IndieWeb Movie Club!

As your host for this month¹, I invite you to (re)watch the film “Tomorrowland” (https://movies.disney.com/tomorrowland), with an optional prequel book reading assignment!

“Before Tomorrowland” (https://books.disney.com/book/before-tomorrowland/) was released about a month before the film, so it’s fine to read before watching.

#Tomorrowland is available in various physical media formats, and via streaming on DisneyPlus². 130 minutes, rated PG.

This month is the 10th anniversary of Tomorrowland’s release.

The world was quite different in 2015.

I had my own impressions of Tomorrowland when I first heard about it and then watched it much later (which I won’t link to yet to avoid spoilers or biasing your opinions). The film made such a strong impression on me that I held a group film viewing and discussion party in 2015!

I’m curious how both first time viewers in 2025 and folks watching a second (or more) time think of Tomorrowland.

If you would like to participate in this month’s IndieWeb Movie Club:
* optional: read the prequel book
* watch the film
* blog a read³ (for the book), watch⁴, review⁵, or even a simple note⁶ post of your impressions, or some or all the above and link to this post

If you want your post(s) to be included in the May 2025 IndieWeb Movie Club roundup, notify me with a Webmention⁷ from your post, or drop a link in the IndieWeb chat discussion channel⁸ and @-mention me.

Since this is an IndieWeb community activity, please both follow the Code of Conduct⁹, and also keep your post within the same rating (PG) as the movie. I may curate the roundup accordingly.

Happy reading, watching, and dreaming!
