TOMORROWLAND Big Game Special Look Shot-by-Shot Analysis

Some agonizing minutes after the countdown clock on TakeMeToTomorrowland.com reached zero, the TOMORROWLAND Big Game Special Look was aired and went live online.

Here's a in-depth, shot-by-shot analysis of the spot considering what we have learned from The Optimist ARG, the New York Comic Con footage, the Before Tomorrowland prequel novel, and the Destination D footage:

Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) - presumably in her bedroom - gazes up at a NASA shuttle model hanging above her. Elsewhere in the film, she is seen wearing a red NASA baseball cap, and is said to be seen watching the dismantling of the last launch platform at Cape Canaveral.

Casey touches the pin after its mysterious appearance. 

(As seen in the first Teaser Trailer.)

Casey uses cloth to block her hand holding the pin so that she can control her transport to Tomorrow.

A cryptex cycles random numbers, with the PLUS ULTRA secret society logo flashing among them.

Frank Walker (George Clooney) approaches the device, located in the Eiffel Tower -- a significant Plus Ultra location. (The society was founded by Tesla, Edison, Eiffel, and H.G. Welles at the 1889 World's Fair.)

The young robot Athena (Raffey Cassidy) who has not aged since Frank met her at the 1964 World's Fair, when he first glimpsed Tomorrow through a transport platform hidden under the It's A Small World attraction.

A transport we are affectionately calling The Nonorail.

David Nix (Hugh Laurie) shows Frank the city. An armed guard stands close behind. When young Frank met Nix at the 1964 World's Fair, he was rejected by him and kicked out of Tomorrow.

Casey looks at Frank's network display of doomsday monitors.

A jetpack-wearer zooms into the cityscape.

Frank asks Casey if she wants to go to Tomorrow, after she successfully gains access to his booby-trapped home.

A rocket ship that occupies the same physical space as the Eiffel Tower in the alternate Tomorrow dimension. Presumably, after Frank's rejection, the transport platform underneath It's A Small World was closed off in its relocation to Disneyland from the 1964 World's Fair.

Frank prepares for liftoff.

The rocket lifts off from its Eiffel-styled gantry.

The Parisian landscape gives way to the revealed Tomorrow dimension.

When the spot is watched on TakeMeToTomorrowland.com, the iconic Tomorrowland pin appears at three different points. When clicked, they open one of three panoramas of the futuristic city. (Click the images below to go directly to the panorama and explore in detail.)

These are reminiscent of the Syd Mead concept artwork released at New York Comic Con:

This concept art, however, depicts a less developed Tomorrow landscape. The boy in the foreground is young Frank, after gaining access through the platform underneath It's A Small World attraction at the 1964 World's Fair. 

The abundant construction depicted in both the Big Game spot as well as the panoramas indicated Tomorrow has changed quite a bit in the years following Frank's first visit. Is Nix planning for an influx of citizens to Tomorrow?

Underneath the video player on the site, another Nixie-tube countdown clock cycles through countdowns to randomly generated dates, with Plus Ultra society logos flashing between the 9 and 0 digits. Stay tuned for future updates on any potential puzzles or Alternate Reality Game developments.
