Captain EO reviews

Written by Brandon Mendoza
Posted: March 17, 2010

This film was produced by George Lucas, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and stars Michael Jackson (as Captain EO), Anjelica Huston (as the Supreme Leader), and Dick Shawn (as Commander Bog).

The EO of Michael Jackson's character is Greek for "dawn".

While the original show ended in spring of 1997, this attraction reopened February 23, 2010, in the Magic Eye Theater with minor additions and changes to the original effects.

ready for another movie after watching this a few times. - Skipper Adam

LOVED IT! SO GLAD THEY BROUGHT IT BACK! Captain EO and his infamous crew are back! The music is great, the acting... not really. It feels very 80s and I love it. greatest 3D show so far. - Lucas Lee

Its so bad, its good! I like it alot, but it is very 80s! - Anthony Murphy

a good way to remember michal jackson - Brian Whitman

A great "music video" that can be for almost anybody that can look past the controversies of Michael Jackson. A few scary-for-some-children scenes, but this mini movie is still entertaining despite feeling a bit dated due to hair styles and some special effects. Much better than HISTA. The dance number is definitely worth watching especially if you're into that stuff. Even as a huge fan of MJ's dancing and music, I can't give this a perfect 10, but I do believe it's one of the better attractions in Tomorrowland... not much to choose from, but it's awesome in my eyes! - Brandon Mendoza

Remember seeing it years ago, I liked it a lot. I even begged my mom for the toys. :-) - Will Chilcote

A lot better 3D film than Honey I Shrunk the Audience. The theme of the movie fits Tomorrowland very well. NOT really for small children but a MUST see for the rest of us. As entertaining as when it originally ran. The graphics are still very good. Yes it is very old and you could tell when you see it but still very good. Glad disney brought it back, not only as a tribute to a great entertainer(Michael Jackson) but because it is a great attraction. - Erik Avila
