...Sky Captain..
Visually, it's in its own world - Kerry Conran, the writer/creator/director was there and showed a number of clips, maybe 3 or 4 trailers worth - it's like the 1930's combined with futuristic technology - maybe you remember the old "Blackhawk" comics; a dash of that - imagine P-38s that convert to submarines - mix in some old "Flash Gordon" and "Buck Rogers" - giant flying robots as in one of those old superman cartoons - Jude Law was there; he said he loved the part (seemed sincere); also said almost all their acting was done against 'blue screen' background, since virtually all the scenes were CG - from the clips they showed, I can believe it -
The thing you couldn't determine is: what's the story like??? they said there were a number of story lines and it was not just a fancy shoot-em-up, but we'll see -
They've totally got my $9 for one show based on the 'Look' - after that, ...
I'm gonna see "Sky Captain", too.
I love a good shoot-em-up.
Even with Gwennyth Paltrow.
I love old-school science fiction and the pulp artwork of the day, so I'm looking forward to this as well.
