When some eminent scientists start to go missing

When some eminent scientists start to go missing, journalist “Polly” (Gwyneth Paltrow) finds herself embroiled in a plot that seems to involve some enormous great robots and, of course, the end of the world as we know it. She becomes even more convinced when “Dr. Jennings” (Trevor Baxter) gives her what snippets he knows about the scheme - and that may well centre around the long-absent and enigmatic “Totenkopf”. Pretty much out of her depth, she seeks the help of her ex “Joe” (aka “Sky Captain” - Jude Law) and with the help of his right hand man “Dex” (Giovanni Ribisi) tries to find the source of these increasingly audacious robots - both the walking and the flying kind, and hopefully thwart a master plan about they (and we) know little about. When “Dex” is kidnapped, they have to elicit the help of “Franky” (Angelina Jolie) and her amazing, Union Jack-sporting, airborne warship and soon find themselves deep amidst the snowy Himalayas where they think “Totenkopf” has his lair. Now I did like the look of this film. It reminded me a little of the old “Flash Gordon” escapade-driven serials from the 1930s, filmed in a slightly tinted monochrome with plenty of action and hammy performances augmented stylishly by quite an exciting range of versatile gadgets and whole scale destruction that ensues before denouement delivers it’s admittedly fairly predictable conclusion. It is a bit long and perhaps the less said about some of the dialgue the better, but it’s my kind of boy’s own adventure and I did quite enjoy it.

Movie has a very interesting look and feel

I had not read about the movie before watching it and was fascinated within the first several minutes and continued to enjoy it through to the end. This movie's unique look and feel is its primary vehicle. If you are looking for a sophisticated plot, this movie was not made for you. The plot and acting were adequate enough to avoid ruining the visual picture. The makers applied a comic book feel to the movie that allowed for softer edges and sepia tones, both with the animated sets and the human characters. If a set does not look completely realistic, the viewer is not troubled because the set is consistent with everything you see in the movie.Anyone who has ever edited video or worked with animation would have to appreciate the visual art and quality of this movie. Otherwise, it contains a decent story that would be worth watching at least once.

Most people just don't get it.

You need to watch a couple of Science fiction serials of the 1930's and then you might understand. If they had had CGI available to them they would have looked like this. This is nothing more or less than a love letter to "Flying Disc Man From Mars" & "Flash Gordon." When you look at the story you have to understand that it is built around the model of films like "Radar Men From the Moon" and others of the genre, it is simple (for kids there for their Saturday morning adventure fix. You can't look at a serial like a grown up, not with that critical eye They was never meant for critics. They were made to make young fellows gasp at the villains and the cliff hangers, not to make you meditate on the state of the universe. If you wait for deep meaning, then you will be waiting a long time. "Sky Captain" takes us back to the days of "Hopalong Cassidy" and Gene Autry (Star of the first Scince Fiction Serial "The Phantom Empire.") If you can divorce your critical self, sit down with a box of popcorn and some Ju-Ju Bes and turn off the lights, let yourself be 8 again. Now...the pay off!
