#Simple comic crashes movie#
This movie is charmingly retro unfortunately even the greatest concept for a movie can be thrown to waste if the storyline is no good. That is exactly what happens with this movie. “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” is what anyone expected it to be at first: a wonderful world of imagery with a simple story of a solo hero facing off the bad guys. The film has too many set changes that lead to incoherent situations and surprises that do nothing for the story.Īs the story unravels, in the first 20 minutes it becomes clear that the storyline is headed downhill. In one instance, giant robots are no longer the emphasis as the story begins to focus on prehistoric creatures in an island in the middle of nowhere.īut the prehistoric creatures even play a small role as they are only put in the movie for show and then quickly forgotten. “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” zooms through scenarios as if to show as much of the movie’s comic book theme before the film ends. It seems as if the film is trying to show off a new movie concept rather than tell a story. The film starts in New York with Law fighting menacing, giant robots then turns into a search for Shangri-La, and then to a search for a tropical island. The title of the movie alone is enough to delude the audience. For some reason there were more underwater scenes than there were air battles.
