Sky Captain Review

I got to see a movie today!

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

One of the best Science Fiction movies I have seen in a long time. A thrill ride from beginning to end while maintaining the feel of brilliant film noir, this movie has it all. And for you fans of giant killer robots, this film has giant killer robots! The look of the movie is surprising nostalgic and original. The setting is engrossing and the plot really pulls you through and never disappoints.

Warning: Over Intellectualizing Ahead: The film paints a mesmerizing post-modern fable of life in the our day and age. Using the Wizard of Oz as a Narrative tool, the film deconstructs the modern fundamentalist movements showing them to be the futile beasts they are. I will not spoil the end, but it is as rich for the mind as it is for the eye. A must see for the whole family. Great on so many levels.
