In writer-director Kerry Conran's debut film, ace pilot Joe "Sky Captain" Sullivan (Jude Law) reluctantly teams up with his former flame, journalist Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow), to uncover the mystery behind a group of missing scientists and a series of shocking robot attacks. Aided by gadgetry whiz Dex Dearborn (Giovanni Ribisi) and enigmatic military commander Franky Cook (Angelina Jolie), Joe and Polly must find out who is responsible for an increasingly elaborate scheme that may trigger the end of the world.
A highly stylized, mostly computer-generated spectacle, SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW is a striking cinematic achievement. Steeped in the marvelous visuals of 1930s pop culture, Conran's movie is a loving tribute to that era, featuring clever nods to FLASH GORDON, BUCK ROGERS, and other adventure serials of the time. Beginning in a gloriously slate-gray, towering New York City, this movie follows its heroes from one intriguing locale to the next. Although the remarkable images of the film threaten to eclipse the characters at times, SKY CAPTAIN is very well cast, with the actors pitch-perfect for their respective roles, particularly the luminous Paltrow and the brainy Ribisi. And yet the stunning retro-futuristic design is always at the fore, making for a wonderfully unique movie.
Cast:
"[A] high-flying, retro-cool adventure extravaganza..."
-- Stephen Farber
, (Movieline's Hollywood Life)
"SKY CAPTAIN charms as well as impresses....A landmark in computer-generated imagery..." -- Stephen Holden , (New York Times) "[The] visuals definitely have the capacity to surprise." -- Kenneth Turan , (Los Angeles Times) "[T]he confection is irresistible: three of Hollywood's most polished stars, assuming the contours of 2-D characters without irony or condescension." -- Lisa Schwarzbaum , (Entertainment Weekly) "It's like a film that escaped from the imagination directly onto the screen, without having to pass through reality along the way." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times) "[A] beautifully realised slice of classic pulp adventure." -- Andrew Sumner , (Uncut) "There are nice visual touches..." -- Ben Walters , (Sight and Sound)
