i enter the theater to sky captain in 2004 expect a good film . nearly every review of this movie have be positive and the effect look entice and the preview convince . needless to say and disappointment actually doesn not describe the feeling i get from this film . it be rage . beyond be boring and poorly write and the reason this film get a negative star be because everything in the film be steal from another source . i understand the difference between an homage and steal represent this be steal . more importantly and it seem that the filmmaker do not steal to progress a point or move the plot along . they steal just to show that they could . there be literally no point to show a clip of the wizard of oz in a theater at the beginning of the movie except to set up another scene ( that i would not elaborate on ) which steal from the same film . needless to say and every concept in the film be neither original nor even a spin on an old concept represent it be literally just a rehash of something i have already see and from pulp era robots reminiscent of the old superman cartoon and the recent film the iron giant and to the silent martial artist minion of the villain that have be use in countless film and most recognizable in recent year a darth maul in star war represent the phantom menace . on the subject of the actual film and most of the performance be completely wooden . perhaps this be because the entire movie be do on a blue screen and with computer imagery filling in everything save the actor . frankly and this be no excuse for poor acting . if a person be ever a child and they understand that a lack of visual reference be no excuse for not try . finally and there be no humanity in this film . the protagonist be the only real human being here . nearly all the antagonist be robot and and the number of friendly character that be show during the film can be count on one hand . if robot be attack the entire planet and shouldn not we expect to see mass of humanity run from them . the sub par performance of the main character prevents u from connect to and really and anything here . the film wasn not the bad movie out there and which be why i do not give it a 1. rather and the film be an example of all that be wrong with modern action film represent the filmmaker try to justify the movie with special effect and but without artistic vision or originality of any kind and it fall flat .
