Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Monique One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Eric Stevenson It's pretty odd how the ratings for this movie here aren't that high, but there actually are a lot of positive reviews. I guess I'm with the people who genuinely enjoyed it, even though it wasn't great. I think it's mostly because of how outright beautiful this film looks. I mean, the way everything is shot just makes it look authentic and it seems to be a great tribute to the old film serials. Granted, I don't think I've ever really seen any of those, but this certainly looks faithful. Anyway, this movie begins with giant robots appearing (always a good start) and people investigating to see where they came from.I admit that the dialogue isn't that good, but there really are some pretty good characters in this. I really did find myself rooting for the relationship between the male and female lead. The way they bonded was actually quite cute. I think the film's length was good, even though the pacing could have been better. I was glad I saw it and even though I would not quite recommend it, it was enjoyable. It's not that great of a story but for me it was a fun little film that was at least above average. It had pretty creative ideas even if they weren't executed that well. ***

BA_Harrison Steven Spielberg and George Lucas laughed all the way to the bank recycling elements from old '30s serials with Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), while maverick director Robert Rodriguez has shown how hyper-stylised comic-book action, shot almost entirely on a 'digital backlot', can be a success with Sin City (2005).Writer/director Kerry Conran, on the other hand… A retro-futuristic, pulp comic-book science fiction adventure set during an alternate late-1930s, Conran's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow can't be faulted for trying: it has giant robots, miniature elephants, ray guns, weird aircraft with flapping wings, planes that can turn into submarines, hovering aircraft carriers, a trip to the legendary paradise of Shangri La, a clean-cut hero, a pretty heroine, a scientific genius sidekick, and more cool art deco production design than you can shake a Bakelite radio at. It SHOULD have been a blast…Unfortunately, despite boasting such promising ingredients, the film proves to be a disappointing dud. Much of the film's lack of success can be put down to its glut of unconvincing CGI: as innovative as it was to construct all sets digitally, it's impossible to believe for a second that the performers are anywhere other than in a film studio, acting in front of a blue screen, which makes it hard to connect with the action. The film also suffers badly from poor casting (Jude Law, as Sky Captain, is a bland hero, Gwyneth Paltrow is a bland blonde, and Angelina Jolie is wasted in a forgettable supporting role), while the whole is definitely much less than the sum of its parts, the unengaging and messy plot a load of hackneyed old tosh about missing scientists and a mad megalomaniac bent on world domination.B for effort, but D- for attainment. That's 3/10 in IMDb terms.

Harriet Deltubbo So let me get this straight: After New York City receives a series of attacks from giant flying robots, a reporter teams up with a pilot in search of their origin, as well as the reason for the disappearances of famous scientists around the world. Okay, got it. This is a story about a place most people might not be able to conceive: where things are dying, where people survive off liquor and stale food, where those who are supposed to love us drive knives into our backs. There are fisticuffs back and forth with those who claim to work for justice. It is very light-hearted and it isn't complex at all as all the characters struggle against a system that has perpetuated many falsehoods.

robinski34 The opening credits of Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow promise exactly what the film delivers, a ripping yarn in the mold of Flash Gordon and Buck Rodgers, with all the suspension of disbelief that those matinée serials required of the viewer. The PG rating is the tell-tale that you should not expect plotting of Nolanian complexity, this is a kids' film, and if you treat it like that, it's good fun. There is the odd gaping plot hole, but there are also some nice touches, like the appearance of Laurence Olivier and a certain recurring camera device for example, which help counteract the patchiness of the jeopardy. If you can accept occasional failings such as the yawning chasm in the lack of resolution of the research subject scene, this can be an enjoyable romp with a watchable cast.
