Somewhere Else Tomorrow (2014)

Waste of time

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I liked the idea of the movie very much and it's interesting to hear Daniel talking about his adventure. However, the movie also has some problems. One of the biggest problems is the unlogical order of events at the beginning of the movie. Why does the trip start with Spain and then Africa. Then it goes back in time, to the beginning of the trip, when they were in London. Then again Spain, when it is explained that the waited there for 3 months for a visa. After that we're back in Africa and later we suddenly see Daniel alone in Jordania. Then there is another jump back in time to Africa when they decided to split up. Also the interviewer sometimes seemed to be out of place and his questions came out of nowhere.

This movie popped up on my Amazon account due to another movie related to one i enjoyed. All i can say about Somewhere Else Tomorrow is how on earth is it possible to get so much value and inspiration from a movie documenting a real-life adventure and totally capture it with a shoe-string budget. Well they say truth is stranger than fiction and it is indeed. Think about it... The premise of just taking off on a world motorbike tour adventure as a life not a vacation. Knowing you have limited money and you will have to work along the way in unknown environments with unknown conditions to keep moving or just to survive. Well that alone is enough to mistakenly classify this movie in the Horror genre... but stunningly it's far from it. This movie was not only inspiring and adventurous. It was built on a foundation of sincere and compassionate purity that can't be captured in fiction no matter how well contrived in a Hollywood script. The only thing i was missing from Hollywood was a little finer touches on the post interview sessions from the gentleman interviewing and occasional narrations from the female voice in the movie. Just felt a bit contrived and slightly dramatic from the woman when the story itself didn't need any of that. The story and experiences stand entirely on their own merit. That said one of my top 10 now for sure maybe even top 5 movies Daniel's incredible ingenuity along the way to keep the bikes running and survive the situation of the day was exceptional. However, when you combine that with his calm, steadfast relentless determination to push on in the face of serious adversity, fear and further into a road-bound lifestyle unlike what we all know. All while hoping the universe smiles on him. This just transcends film and touches the soul of the digital generation of people who lived or are living the very lives Daniel/Lars were trying to escape. Many/Most of us would have given up, but Daniel didn't. "Not The End" is the closing credit of the film as Daniel takes a slight detour for his girlfriend who is also just as passionate about his dream to circumvent the globe on motorbike as he is but she needs preparation to complete the next half of the trip with him... and he needs the motivation to finish this lifelong journey the way it was really intended... which is sharing it with someone you love. I can't wait for the next installment and Daniel if you ever read this. I pledge $100 for your trip and hopefully a longer digital cut of the next half of your adventure. Amazing inspiration, and what you helped do for those children well is a very real part of human nature and our capacity for good that can only be capture in a pure state of authenticity. I was spiritually astonishing you were in exactly the right place at exactly the right time to help those kids. Seems to me that the universe may have had as much or more to do with putting you on this journey than even you did. Best hopes and wishes for the 2nd half of the adventure.Tim Wiley

Although i'm not a rookie myself with traveling on a motorcycle I must admit that this documentary is one of the best ones i've seen. Better than my own video coverage. During my journey from Malaysia to the Netherlands on a 150cc motorcycle i found out about this documentary. The funny thing is that I also went through some countries covered - Pakistan and Iran for instance. I watched it already 3 times because it really helps me to think about the struggles i had during my time on the bike. But it also was of great help showing others how life on a bike is when you are all alone in those countries.Worth watching for sure!

I stumbled across this gem of a documentary by accident while looking for something to distract me one afternoon. I'm very glad that I did.Just the idea that someone would leave all that they know without any means is astonishing! No real money, income, or the absolute knowledge that they wouldn't be stranded in a civilization that they had no knowledge of and the possibility of landing amidst a war is just mind boggling! My hat is off to these young people. Their adventures are very interesting to the point that I wish I was still young enough and in good enough health to attempt such a feat.Just to let you know, this film is the first half of the adventure. I am looking forward to the next film to see how the trip concludes.Lastly, I'm glad Daniel found a soul mate along the way to share his dream...
