Here we go again with another Wizard of Oz-like tale…a magical, inexplicable force transporting an impetuous youth, initially misunderstood and scolded by an elder, out of a proverbial Kansas to a colorful, dazzling, eye-popping realm full of thrills and danger. Nice VFX…I’ll give it that. Section C, paragraph 15 of the rulebook states that George Clooney‘s character has to begin as a gruff, cantankerous hermit who’s living in a ramshackle, vine-covered house, and that he’ll gradually warm up as he gets to know Britt Robertson‘s young spirited protagonist. Either way an HE slogan bears repeating: Beware the Lindelof. This is not a prediction as I know nothing. Just a note a caution.
