IslandGuru Who payed the critics

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Brad Beavis From one sub atomic particle to another: This the most awesome and best treatise on quantum physics I have ever come across I in my entire life. Ha. Highly recommended. A must see. Don't miss this I have been ROFLMFAO for 6 days now, and I mean belly laughs. Emily prime is so cute, best voice over in the world! I'm not exaggerating. Do any and everything you can to see this short. Beg borrow and save. Contact me and I'll help. Come watch of with me, whatever. Keep calm in the world of tomorrow. Live long and prosper. To summarize, a young girl is visited by a clone of herself from the future. Which she hardly understands. She is more interested in her toys and colours and playing. This girl, Emily is dragged into the future and into the future's inhabitants' version of the internet. More shocking than George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Mary Shelley combined. Don Hertzfeldt's work shines, and both voices are spectacular; however Emily Prime's voice make this featurette simply shine. Best film I've seen in years, since Lucas's THX. You must see this and don't forget to rave about it to all your friends.Peace love unity respectBrad

cosmicfish14 I know it may be strange to do a full length review on a short film, but I felt this one deserved it. Don Hertzfeldt is one of my favorite animators right now and he's done other work that I loved like "It's Such A Beautiful Day" (which I will review at some point in the future) and the disturbingly funny "Rejected". "World Of Tomorrow" is his most recent work, and probably his most critically praised. What do I think of it? I think its absolutely fantastic. Personally, I don't think its as good as "It's Such A Beautiful Day", but still great. Anyways lets continue.One thing to note is the animation. Hertzfeldt is known for using a somewhat minimalistic but unique style for most of his work, and this is probably his most visual work, since it presents other planets and parts of space. It does use a lot of techniques to create this style like using live action, special blur effects and so on. The short also has an amazingly creative and original story, so creative that it kinda reminds me of those famous short stories from Phillip K. Dick. It does bring up these great concepts, but also has time for emotional and funny moments. There is also some nice voice acting with the clone of Emily and her younger self. So in the end "World Of Tomorrow" is a creative, funny, and touching animation that makes you think long after you have viewed it. Honestly guys, go watch it now, its on Netflix its only 15 minutes long and I promise you that you won't regret it.Final Score: 8.5/10

David M Farrington The science fiction genre is no stranger to themes of artificial intelligence surpassing human capacity, the exploration of space and the discovery of space creatures, or even the pursuit of immortality through social media or other means of preservation. World of Tomorrow, the latest piece from Oscar nominated writer/director Don Hertzfeldt (Rejected), manages to wrap all of these themes into a 16 minute animated short film. Too much to cover in too little time you say? Hertzfeldt's short masterpiece will prove you wrong, taking its audience on a mind bending journey into the future and acting as a humorous allegory for the dangers of human disconnection in a world lived via the internet.World of Tomorrow follows Emily, a young girl voiced by Winona Mae (Hertzfeldt's own four-year-old niece who was recorded at play with the recordings subsequently being fit into the film). Emily receives a video call from 227 years in the future when humans live between space and earth and survive in what is known as the outer- net, a vast empty space which is the...Read the full review on David 'n the Dark!https://davidnthedark.wordpress.com/2016/01/17/worldoftomorrowreview /#more-2061

MortalKombatFan1 Don Hertzfeldt's first digitally animated short film (if you don't include his Simpsons couch gag) is about a girl called Emily who is visited by a clone of herself from the future who takes her on a tour of the world of tomorrow. Beautifully intimate and epic at the same time - the movie covers similar themes from Don's other film "It's such a beautiful day", featuring both humorous and poignant scenes about living life, finding love, and why we hold onto memories. Here it's done in a more sci-fi setting, the director's vision of the future being completely his own."World of Tomorrow" is definitely worth checking out. You can stream it now on "Vimeo On Demand" for $5 dollars, so go ahead and support an independent artist working on original ideas - which is becoming rare in today's entertainment industry.9/10
