Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

This is a fun tongue in cheek romp in the style of 1950's SciFi adventure movies. Over the top, stylised fun. Even the really bad CGI adds to the fun. The cast look like they had a blast filming too.

This film sets out what it intended to do, which 75% of the stuff that comes to the big screen are unable to do. Look at feature SciFi like JJ's Star Trek where it just doesn't quite measure up to expectations. Meanwhile, this movie exceeds all expectations. Fun story, action packed, amazing production design, and all animated done with just Pixarman, Maya, and Adobe After Effects. I only knock of a couple of stars because the character of Polly is just irritating all the way through. Can't recommend highly enough.

I had not read about the movie before watching it and was fascinated within the first several minutes and continued to enjoy it through to the end. This movie's unique look and feel is its primary vehicle. If you are looking for a sophisticated plot, this movie was not made for you. The plot and acting were adequate enough to avoid ruining the visual picture. The makers applied a comic book feel to the movie that allowed for softer edges and sepia tones, both with the animated sets and the human characters. If a set does not look completely realistic, the viewer is not troubled because the set is consistent with everything you see in the movie. Anyone who has ever edited video or worked with animation would have to appreciate the visual art and quality of this movie. Otherwise, it contains a decent story that would be worth watching at least once.

I have the DVD and I usually watch it sometimes. I like the aerial fights that Jude Law was in. It's just like the concept of Indiana Jones when this film was set in the 1930's. The special effects of the film were okay and I like how the machines operate. There were reviews saying that the film was not that good but for me, I enjoy the action and entertainment value. I'm not calling it bad but it was almost great.
