Has anyone else seen this movie?
I saw it a couple of weeks ago. I liked it ok. Although I didn't get one part of it:

It wasn't. They abandoned us because they decided we weren't worthy.
I Know what you mean, when they get there, it appears empty, or abandoned. I'm not sure why they had it look that way. Supposedly it was still highly populated, but for some reason, they had it looking abandoned in most of the last fourth of the movie.
I brought my kids to it. Thought Clooney did a great job, but overall I got kind of bored with it at parts. It wasn't advertised correctly. It appeared they'd be spending a LOT of time in tommorrowland, when in truth most of the movie occurs in our world. That was a disappointment.
On the otherhand, it had some fun items, but very predictable (at least I found it rather predictable). Perhaps that's because it was for kids, but even kids films normally aren't that predictable to me.
I actually really enjoyed, wish it did a lot better at box office so it could have add a sequel or two.
I just watched the DVD, and really liked it. I loved its positive attitude. I miss the old optimism for the future we used to have.
Today, it seems like the future is just zombie apocalypses, children murdering children, lots and lots of corn, and lots of other dystopias.
I wish there were more movies with a more optimistic view of our future.
Also, I never found any of the kid characters annoying, except that one time when one kid wouldn't explain what was going on until later, but that wasn't an annoying kid trait, that was an annoying narrative device trait. :-P
I also liked how the kid lead wasn't "the chosen one" but "the really talented one that can hopefully get us out of this jam."
I also like the theme of no predestination and how free will is good.
And it was good to see a female lead with good STEM skills.
