Tomorrowland is a science fiction and mystery adventure that revolves around themes of nostalgia, the golden age of futurists, and a need for wonder and positivity in the face of growing cynicism and negativity. Casey is an optimistic, bright and inventive teen girl who finds herself in the strange place populated by sophisticated androids and other technological wonders. This world, however, is in danger, as is our own, from decay and catastrophe related to the belief in dire and unavoidable entropy, eventually causing an apocalypse. The film seems to be trying to appeal to kids and much older adults as it references the 1964 Worlds Fair, early Disneyland, tosses in old and new pop references, and the technology showcased has a retro-futuristic vibe. Can young Casey and adult inventor, Frank, save the future from disaster and bring back healthy curiosity, imagination, creativity and hope? Is destiny set? Visually interesting and easy-viewing, but plays like an extended made-for-TV film for...I'm still not certain. That is a problem-elements of Tomorrowland haphazardly hitting and missing an undefined target audience. What's meant to be amazing-thanks to a glut of other CGI-saturated shows-comes across as less-than-spectacular and just OK. Watch for a mild adventure that delights in-and tramples over-early dreams of what the far future might be like.
Continuity mistake: When Frank Walker and Casey Newton get into Frank's bath to escape the robots, Frank gets in on the left and Casey gets in on the right. They get shot off but when they land in the swamp, Frank is on the right and Casey is on the left.
Trivia: When Casey enters the shop, the female store clerk is watching the TV. On top of the TV is a piece of memorabilia from The Iron Giant. The director of Tomorrowland, Brad Bird, also directed The Iron Giant.

Answer: He was using it as a metaphor. The Titanic being mankind heading towards its own destruction. Man was warned of the dangers (wars, global warming, etc) and we didn't do anything to change our ways, "went full stem ahead".
