SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW (2004)

Cast

Plot

The world as we know it (well the world as Biggles knew it perhaps) is under threat from an unstoppable robot army. There's only one man who can save us, Sky Captain, or Joe to those who know him. Together with feisty (read pesky) reporter Polly Perkins and super cool, super hard arse, Captain Franky Cook, Joe must find the source of this new menace and destroy it before it destroys the world. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a visual joy, a bit like Fritz Lang's Metropolis if he'd had access to some seriously high end CGI and decided to go for the action adventure angle, but it's let down by the slightly half hearted parody of derring-do, a weak script and some woefully two dimensional characters. Enjoy it for some of the gloriously rendered action set pieces.
