“Escape From Tomorrow” opens Friday at Sundance Cinemas. Not rated, 1:44, two and a half stars out of four.
Let’s face it. If “Escape From Tomorrow” had been shot at Six Flags Great America, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

“Escape From Tomorrow,” “I’m So Excited” part of next Sundance Screening Room series
When I first heard about “Escape From Tomorrow” premiering at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, I naturally assumed I would never get a chance to see it. An edgy, hallucinatory drama shot secretly on the grounds of Disneyland? The mouse-eared attorneys from Magic Kingdom would surely shut that down faster than you can say “It’s a Small World.”
But not only has “Escape” escaped legal threats, but it’s opening Oct. 10 at Sundance Cinemas as part of the next round of its Screening Room series, setting aside Theater 1 for weeklong runs of independent, foreign and documentary films. This upcoming series is only five films instead of the usual eight, presumably because we’re getting into Oscar season, and the theater will want to have all six screens available for some fall heavyweight films.
