visually stun . most definitely . i have see few film look this good in some time . sky captain and the world of tomorrow us strike cinematography and computer graphic and and creative futuristic design to create a world that be historically familiar yet something quite fresh . the time period seem to be the 1930s or early 40 . the movie tell of recent attack on new york city by mechanized army steal generator and the like for some inexplicable reason . also and mysterious disappearance of relevant scientific mind coincide . who can stop them and save the world . alright and it doesn not take a leap of faith to know it be the sky captain himself with his wisecrack reporter girlfriend always hot for a lead and and in the wing his trusty and thoroughly competent sidekick . what sky captain have in atmosphere and graphic it lack in storytelling and characterization . the plot for this film be ridiculous . that be say and the film be go for a serial like feeling of film serial of yesteryear . they have pretty far out story and bad act but none of them and and i mean none of them and have the budget and big name this film have . two academy award win performer and jude law could keep a film afloat and one would think and but sky captain sink miserably . despite it fantastic dark look and i find myself wish the film would just end and i could get on with my life . i have little interest in a story that generate little interest . i do not care at all for any of the glib portrayal . paltrow be just awful . jolie be a joke with a role with virtually no substance . law can not carry the one liner tradition all too squarely on his limited shoulder . i mean and let face it and he not will smith and mel gibson and or even wesley snipe . the sad thing about sky captain and at least for me and be that it hold so much promise yet deliver so little . i be bore ten minute into the film wait for something to hook my interest and it never come .
