Sorry for the non-technical post, but I must agree with Sam Gentile. I saw Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on opening weekend and thought it was a blast. I couldn't precisely nail down what I liked about it, but I think Sam hits the nail on the head: it's a mixture of (semi-)modern sci-fi with a Flash Gordonesque, 30's style. I absolutely love the pastel, sepia color used throughout the flick. I am definitely one for nostalgia, and watching this movie I felt once again like a kid. Watching the characters travel over the globe with the super-imposed lat/long lines and compass beneath the surface of the water was fantastic; that and the abnormally enlarged radio tower summoning Sky Captain...Watching it reminded me too much of the old George Reeves Superman...though the movie wasn't that corny.
I normally wouldn't be posting something like this, but it turns out that during my weekly programming session with a group of friends last night we were talking about just this movie. Then reading Sam's blog I couldn't help it. Go see the movie if you haven't yet!
