Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Sky Captain is a wonderful, awesome adventure. A true masterpiece.
I loved the whole comic book style and I definitely felt that some parts were inspired by other movies/comic books like the first city scenes where I was hoping that Superman would appear flying from the sky, or the scene in the forest that had a feel to the first Jurassic Park that I loved. It also had a Star Wars feel to it. Marvelous.
The story happens in Gotham City in the '30s so it has that old feeling too.
As we've all heard, this movie was shot entirely on a blue screen so the actors (and the stuff they're grabbing) are the only real things in it. And yeah, it looks all computerized, but it looks great.
The performances are great with Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow taking command of the story as Sky Captain himself and Polly Perkins, his former love, respectively. They play them like what it is, an old couple getting back together after a long time and the comedic lines are great.
Angelina Jolie co-stars. Her part is small, as Capt. Franky Cook, all eye patched but very sexy and she was also a former lover of Sky Captain. Her character is awesome, my favorite of them all by far.
I really liked the movie, but I think I'll start loving it after repeated viewings, as this first watch had me checking the CGI all the time which kind of distracted me keeping me from enjoying the story to its full, so I'll see it again as soon as possible. A must see movie, sure to be a classic.
