A orphan who is a kid genius, Lewis, invents a machine that will bring back old memories that are stored in a person's brain that they could relive if they would like. He never met his mother and so he would like to use this machine to see who she was and what she was like. But when he tries to put it in the science fair for his school, a villian by the name of Bowler Hat Guy comes and fiddles with it without Lewis knowing and that causes the machine to not work which then causes Lewis to consider himself a failure. The Bowler Hat Guy then steals it to use for his own good when the science fair goes haywire and the gym is evacuated because of all the other stuff going on like a volcano exploding and sprinklers in the gym go off.
He meets Wilbur Robinson, a kid from the future. Wilbur takes Lewis to the future to meet the rest of the Robinson family, and also to stop the Bowler Hat Guy and his evil doings. Oh and there is a twist that is totally obvious.
Is it just me or has Disney lost their mind? First they lay off a bunch of people and decide not to release as many films as they usually do and possibly get rid of all their other branched studios like Touchstone because they make so much money from films like Pirates and whatever Pixar has to offer. Here's the story: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/news/comments/?entryid=343283
Yet at the same time, their films have not been that great. This is one example. This movie is so awful that I was screaming at the screen wanting the movie to end. Seriously I was. I mean I was the only person watching the movie because I had to check it for scratches and stuff at 1:30am. Yet it just kept on going.
There is nothing original in this film. None of the characters are interesting and there was not one single time where I laughed. And I can usually laugh at a good Disney film if they team up with Pixar. I loved Finding Nemo, Cars and The Incredibles. I seriously think Disney should not do anymore of their own CGI films because the animation looks awful and their ideas just aren't original. I think the only thing that I liked about this one was the cartoon before the movie called "Boat Builders". It was a cartoon from the early days of Disney with Donald, Mickey and Goofy. That was cool.
But all together, this movie was boring, stupid, and cliched.
