While 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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Suspend belief & just have fun!
Above average comic book movie. Story was silly but so were most of the movies made in the 30s. This was along the line of the ole Buck Rogers fantacies but with the benefit of state of the art special effects.
The delivery of High Def via Blu-ray was beyond excellent!
Amazon's delivery of this product was excellent!
Rating:  - Sky Captain......
Good special effects, a little hard to get into. I'll watch it again before I finalize an opinion.
Rating: - BIG movie!! Lots of extras!!!
Good "homage' to the Sci/Fi movies of the 50's... "Must have" for the serious Sci/Fi movie fan!!!
Rating: - A Classic
For amusement consider the previous reviews of this "near perfect" classic. One reviewer has done his home work....the other sadly, not!! Our cultural history is determined by COOL TYPES...whose memory includes the last thirty or less years and then a complete BLANK!!! "Chitty Chitty Bang! Bang!!" Whaaattt? How about the Max Fleischer Superman cartoons???? Captain Midnight and Icabod Mudd (With TWO D's)!!!? Ivan Shark and his daughter Fury?? Buck Rogers?? Airboy and Birdie???!!! The Blackhawks? ...
