MOVIES : Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Interesting.
Fantastic visuals set in an alternate 1939 where amazing steamtech-esk machines are running around all over the place, all shot in a cepia kind of colourless feel, and a Film Noir style to the story and characters. Apparently it was all shot against blue screen - no out of sound stage/built set stuff anywhere.
But the story was about as exciting as batsht, there was no soul, little risked, and the characterisation was trite.
I was also put off by the squirming kids all around, as it is a PG film and I saw it in the middle of the day.
Reminded me quite a lot, style wise, of 'I, Robot' but that had a fantastic story and really good characters. I can't find a review of it in my blog, suffice to say though that I thought it was grand, our Aussie director does it again.
