Reviews for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
This is a movie boiling over with its own positive energy, its own sense of boy-howdy fun.
01/24/05
Conran is ... in touch with his inner 10-year-old. His feature-length debut seems like it has been downloaded directly from a kid's wildest dreams.
12/31/04
This isn't a film that one would expect depth, and the cliches are fun and anticipated.
12/19/04
Una maravillosa muestra de ficción, un exquisito viaje al futuro a través del pasado y una dósis de entretenimiento puro.
11/14/04
Storyline assumes a superfluous, secondary role to the special effects in Sky Captain, a curio that in sensibility and visual design is a hybrid of retro and postmodern
11/13/04
... sure-fire cult hit regardless of the final box office tally.
11/09/04
If it wins an Oscar, statuettes should be given to the folks who made the movie possible: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and the gang at Intel, for whom no microprocessor is too fast.
11/04/04
The picture seems reverse-engineered, as if, having conceived his spectacular milieu, Conran created monsters to populate it, then heroes for them to fight, then reasons for the heroes to be there, with emotional plausibility some way behind that.
11/02/04
Pirates the best elements from classic adventure serials and combines them into an entirely new, enormously satisfying cinema experience.
11/02/04
[The film has] the perfect visual style for a chldlike tale of 1939 bang-bang male heroics and tough-lady glamour.
10/30/04
Unique and just plain fun
10/24/04
... so mechanical, the actors might as well been figments of the computer’s imagination as well.
10/20/04
A remarkable picture peppered with stream-of-movie-consciousness, 1930's media imagery.
10/14/04
An enjoyable and visually dashing computer-generated exercise.
10/11/04
I'm going to bet that this film heralds a resurgence of interest in blimp travel.
10/08/04
Exciting, beautifully designed, retro adventure flick that’s a treat for fans of old movies and pulpy sci-fi serials.
10/06/04
Alas, the finest technology money can buy can't disguise basic flaws in plotting and structure, and flatly written, blandly heroic protagonists.
10/06/04
Since the supposed romance between Sky Captain and Polly is so unsatisfying and the visuals are so flagrantly abundant, I’m assuming this movie is for boys.
10/06/04
Such an interestingly silly movie that I found myself idly wondering what particular audience was being targeted with its peculiar conceits and infinitude of special effects.
