SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW, as seen through the eyes of a six-year-old boy:
First ten minutes – character and setting introductions: “This movie is boring.”
Second ten minutes – giant robots attack: “Wow! Giant robots! Cool!”
Shortly thereafter – during montage of global newspapers detailing giant robot attack: “Hey, the Japanese newspaper has Godzilla fighting the robots! Rewind it, Dad! Rewind it!”
Somewhere around the halfway mark – Sky Captain lands aboard a flying aircraft carrier: “This movie keeps getting better and better!”
Ten minutes after that – “Look, Dad! Dinosaurs! This movie has everything!”
End credits – “Wow, that was one of the best movies ever!”
YMMV, depending one the audience with whom you see it, but what’s not to like about SKY CAPTAIN? It features a bold and exciting vision of an alternate reality; it’s chock full of cool gadgets, neat characters, and fun situations; and it’s a flat-out great time at the movies.
