Movie #1712 "The Tomorrow Man" was the final film we saw at the phoenix film festival , and it was quite good. There were four of us that saw it, and two thought it was a bit slow, but being billed an indie film, I knew that the film would not be heavy on plot, but more on character development. And that character work was left in the hands of the two, more than adequate leads, John Lithgow and Blithe Danner --- both exceptionally good here. And both are for the better in their journey together in the film --- and the audience gets a nice theme out of the experience as well. It's quirky, but good --- my kind of film, and it looks to be distributed out to theaters in the near future, so if you see it offered, you might like it, if you aren't looking for car chases or fights with guns in your movies. I'd give it a 4 out of 5. With a nice resolution! Director is an up and coming african american director/writer, known for nice images, which we saw many of in this film!
Retiree Ed Hemsler is focused on the future, specifically on the disaster he's certain is just around the corner. But in the midst of his doomsday preparations, he meets shopaholic Ronnie Meisner, and the two quirky characters develop a bond.
