If whimsy were coal, 'Gears of Tomorrow' would be powering steam engines to the moon and back. With a tagline that galvanizes expectations, this steampunk tapestry weaves gears and gizmos into a spectacle that visually titillates. Chris Pinenut and Michael Cereal exhibit the chemistry of an oil rag meeting a fiery spanner; their banter tickling the funny cog in a contraption of laughs. However, one can't help but feel that the gearworks grind just a bit when we delve deeper into this anachronistic abyss. Salmon L. Jackson, king of the mechanical soliloquy, engineers his one-liners with a precision that only he can muster, often saving the narrative boiler from rupturing. Spike Leech steers this airship with a vaudevillian's glee and a mad inventor's flair, crafting scenes that are a gearspring's turn from pure chortle-fuel. 'Gears of Tomorrow' clocks in at PG-13 and doesn't overrev beyond its rating, making it a mostly family-friendly romp through time-tested tropes. It's escapism with a wind-up key, ensuring that the hands of its clock-point to amusement more often than not, but don't expect the profound—or even the ongoing—ponderance of its metaphors. All in, this movie is like a well-oiled dirigible: it may not reach stratospheric heights, but it certainly provides a whimsical flight for those looking to cruise through a sky awash with brass and sass.
