CityBeat Film Reviews: Sky Captain
by Decius at 12:11 pm EDT, Sep 15, 2004

] Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow is a nearly
] picture-perfect blend of stylistic sense and
] sensibilities of the bygone era of movie serials.

When I first saw this I was really suprised by the strangeness of it's vision. Its really what someone in the 30s might have imagined the future would be like. I was worried, based I guess on the way it was marketed, that it might be an interesting world filled with recycled hollywood crap, but it turns out the critics seem to like it. It might not suck...

Oh, so if critics like a film, then it doesn't suck? Wow, what a narrowminded view of cinema. Stick to computers, man.

UPDATE: April 6, 2005. The movie is awesome. It's a very nice precurser to Sin City, only the whole family can enjoy it. It's still good, in spite of that. I approve of Sky Captain.

Have you seen Angelina in the tight uniform and eyepatch? HOT! That's enough for me, and then there's the GIANT ROBOTS! ^_^
