Movie Reviews of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (Widescreen Special Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Warm Homage to serial sci-fi
Summary: 3 Stars
As a kid in the '60s, I used to watch the old sci-fi serials from my parents childhoods. Buck Rogers Flash Gordon etc, they were hokey even by that time, but still a lot of fun.
This week I had some time to kill, so I put in my DVD of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (Widescreen Special Collector's Edition) and like those old serials it was fun, and corny, but unlike those old movie shorts it has Angelina Jolie, and Gwyneth Paltro (playing strong women), and some very cool CG animations that the old movies couldn't even imagine.
So here's the deal, this is not what we expect in modern sci-fi, but if you are in the mood for something fun with some old time flavor, Sky Captain should do just fine!

Summary of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (Widescreen Special Collector's Edition)
Its sky captain to the rescue in this high-flying adventure where he must team up with intrepid reporter polly perkins & captain franky cook to stop the evil dr totenkopf from carrying out his plan to destroy the world! Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/01/2007 Starring: Angelina Jolie Gwyneth Paltrow Run time: 106 minutes Rating: PgWhile setting a milestone in the progress of digital filmmaking, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow resurrects a nostalgic fantasy world derived from a wide variety of vintage inspirations. It's a dazzling dream for anyone who appreciates the look and feel of golden-age sci-fi pulp magazines, drawing its unique, all-digital design from such diverse sources as Howard Hawks adventures, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Buck Rogers, Blackhawk comics, The Third Man, cliffhanger serials, and the action-packed Indiana Jones franchise. Writer-director Kerry Conran's feature debut is also guaranteed to inspire digital dreamers everywhere, suggesting a paradigm shift in the way CGI-dominated movies are made. It's a giddy adventure for the young and young-at-heart, in which ace pilot "Sky Captain" Joe Sullivan (Jude Law) and intrepid reporter Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) must save the world from a mad scientist whose vision of the future has tragic implications for all humankind. Angelina Jolie drops in for a glorified cameo, but it's the ultra-fortunate neophyte Conran who's the star here. His clever riff on The Wizard of Oz is a marvel to behold, and the method of its creation is nothing less than revolutionary. --Jeff Shannon
