Review of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) by Corina S — 22 Aug 2009

"Sky Captain" Jude Law and gal reporter Gwyneth Paltrow pursue a mad scientist in this sprawling adventure set in an anachronistic 1930s where zeppelins exists side-by-side with ray guns and giant robots.

The mix of Art Deco and CGI is stunning, but one wishes the creators had paid as much attention to the ridiculous and confusing script as they did the visuals, and cast a more inspiring hero than laid-back Law (who is constantly and embarrassingly overshadowed by Paltrow).
