Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

Holy fucking shit! That's about all I can say. It's what movie theaters were made for. What Metropolis was trying to be but couldn't.

GO SEE IT!

I cannot believe how much I liked this movie. I expected to enjoy it, but what I did not anticipate was how much I'd love it! It's got boundless creativity on the level of The Wizard of Oz, War of the Worlds, Star Wars and King Kong. What I mean to say is that it's become an instant favorite of mine. I'm sure some people won't love it, but I'm a big fan.

I literally could not take my eyes off the screen. There were so many inventive and amazing sights to be seen. Every time I thought they'd run out of ideas, they surprised me with even more to take in. It's a fast-paced movie that - admittedly - spends more effort on visuals than it does story. Not that the story isn't interesting or fun, because it is. There's enough adventure in the story to carry it from beginning to end, but it's primary aim is to awe you. I'm in awe, and it made me a happy moviegoer! smile

I really want to see this. sigh It's the first time in a while I've heard good things about a movie with Angelina Jolie in it. The reviews have all been very good so far, except for Rolling Stone, who gave it 2 stars. eek But no one wants to come with me. cry That's the same reason I didn't go to the Musicology concert. Am I to dependent on other people? I can't be the only person who doesn't like to go to out alone. sad

I go to movies by myself a lot. Sometimes, it's because I don't want people to see my bad taste in film smile

Oh don't get me wrong. Metropolis is cool. But this accomplishes what Metropolis couldn't due to technical limitations.

Yippy! woot! Glad you guys enjoyed it. I've read reviews from several people/critics who did not enjoy it, but glad to see that you did. I really thought it was breathtaking, and at least on one occasion was so overwhelmed by the wonder of it all that I cried. Then again, I'm an admitted crybaby. lol
