Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW (2004) - Sept. 23, 2004
While perhaps not quite the classic I had hoped it would be, this was still a really entertaining movie. It took me a while to get used to the murky look of the film (everything was in really soft focus, for whatever reason). Aside from that, the movie's visuals were really impressive, especially considering it was pretty much all made in a computer. They were definitely going for an Indiana Jones type of vibe with the character of the Sky Captain, but it didn't quite work. Not that he wasn't a good character -- Jude Law was really good, as usual -- but he was no Indiana Jones. So I was somewhat let down, but my expectations were probably a bit too high. ***
