Review: “THE BOOK OF TOMORROW”
Director: David Yohe
Running Time:19:25
Genre: Fantasy
IMDB Page
The Book of Tomorrow proves that sometimes all it takes is a little advanced warning to be a hero. Billy is an ordinary boy in an ordinary town until he finds the title comic book, one that changes each day to predict that day’s events. Whimsical and childishly delightful, it benefits from excellent animation and other technical elements. The plot is predictable but it does nothing to detract from the simple joy of knowing what comes next and a young boy with a wall full of comic books every nerd wishes he had. Who needs football when you can see the future?
