Advantages: A pure adventure movie, beautiful CGI Disadvantages: Slight storyline
I have to start by acknowledging the fact that I had a big bias going into ?SkyCaptain?. I love the old 1930?s pulps of Doc Savage and The Shadow (two awful films that don?t do their literary predecessors justice), I love the crime based radio shows and adore the old Republic movie serials (Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers et al) of the same period. I reckon I was born way too late!
Having established that I can tell you that I found SkyCaptain and The World of Tomorrow to be a cracking good yarn. Kerry Conran, the writer/director, took a long time to get SkyCaptain off the ground and he obviously feels the same about the serials as I do. SkyCaptain not only looks like a 30?s serial but feels like one to. It has the same grand ideas, the crazy, hidden villain, the old style camaraderie between characters and even has the standard ...
Advantages: Brings a sense of wonder back to cinema Disadvantages: May not be to everyone's taste
When German scientists start disappearing and flying robots attack cities around the globe, it?s a job for SkyCaptain. Ably abetted by intrepid reporter Polly Perkins and naval commander Franky Cook, he must track down the nefarious Dr Totenkopf and foil his plan to destroy the world.
If you think modern cinema has lost its sense of wonder fear not because first-time director Kerry Conran is here. He has taken an old-fashioned visual style and format and has married it with brand new technology to create the most captivating film of the year so far. Using Saturday matinee serials like ?Flash Gordon? as a starting point, Conran has crafted an episodic film that contains more cliff-hangers than a mountaineering conference. Our heroes are plunged into danger on a regular basis, ensuring plenty of thrills and spills to keep the audience ...
Advantages: It looks fantastic, despite slight concerns over an entirely CGI created backdrop it works fantastically. Excellent Directorial debut Disadvantages: Gwyneth Paltrow is quite believable as Polly Perkins
For the third and final part of my recent Jude Law series I sat down over the weekend and watched SkyCaptain and The World Of Tomorrow. I had seen the film a couple of months ago and as I quite liked it I decided it would be worth buying. I have to admit though with this being the 3rd Jude Law movie I?ve seen in 2 weeks I am getting just a little fed up with him. I think it?s a case of too much in such a short space of time but with Jude appearing in a lot of films at the moment, it?s an inevitable reaction from most people.
The film is set in the late 30?s and New York city is quite a simple place to be. Unless you are a German scientist that is. In fact seven 1st World War scientists have mysteriously disappeared and reporter Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) is trying to find out why. As she meet with the last surviving member ...
