Guest Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I am again shocked that I have been posting these movie topics typically before anyone else. Oh well I saw this movie and if you haven't go see it soon. The movie is a big special effects movie, however this is done in a pretty classy way. There are many many jokes made about other movies in Sky Captain this is also done in a classy way. This is not a camp movie, it does however do a tap dancing toward but not past that line. Quote
*zeo Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Yes, they did a good job of recreating all the old sci-fi imagery in well rendered CG format. Like the robots with tentical arms are practically right out of the old sci-fi novels as well as old cartoons like Paramount's Superman serials in which he fought the same type of robots. Story could have been a bit better on the second half of the film though but a good nostalgia film nonetheless, in the tradition of such films a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Rocketeer, etc. I otherwise agree with your assessment. Will make a good addition to the old movie collection Quote
