Entertainment : In Depth: Tomorrowland

Futuristic whirlwind meets nostalgic amusement park ride in this charming and energetic family film based on Disneyland’s Tomorrowland.

“Tomorrowland” opens Friday, June 12 through Thursday, June 18 at 7 pm nightly and Monday, June 15 at 2 pm. Rated PG and running just over two hours, this flight of fancy is perfect for all but our youngest patrons.

George Clooney portrays scientist with a secret, Frank Walker, and Britt Robertson (she recently graced the Palace silver screen in “The Longest Ride”) is teenager Casey Newton who seeks his assistance and knowledge. Together the two embarck on a dangerous journey to discover the secrets of “Tomorrowland.” Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) plays villain David Nix.

THE POPCORN’S HOT BUT THE HOUSE IS COOOOOL!

Thank you, thank you to the generous Palace supporters who recently donated to our Palace Sustaining Membership Drive. Our two new auditorium HVAC units were installed this week and it is now sweet and cool in the theatre once again.
