Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is what having a good time at the movies is all about. It's funny and extremely exciting, packed with the kind of gee-whiz awe that rarely makes it to the big screen. Refreshingly, it does so without one bit of camp or irony in its bones. Hearkening back to the sci-fi pulp of the 1940's, the film's look is a living and breathing homage of everything from Max Fleisher Superman cartoons to Flash Gordon serials. The visual world that director Kerry Conran and his production designer/brother Kevin meticulously realized is one where the imagination of yesteryear is translated through the help of modern technology into a magical place where big robots and jetpacks reign supreme. Though the groundbreaking effects define Sky Captain's world, it's the characters who populate it that pull it all together. While Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow don't exactly make movie duo legends, they revel in their cute banter and frankly do an extraordinary job interacting with sets that were never there. Too often supporting roles in adventure films are made to be broad comic fodder, but here Giovanni Ribisi takes a subtle turn as the sidekick and it works, as does Angelina Jolie, whose tough British sneer chews up the screen charmingly well. An impressive start out of the gate for first-timer Conran who gets to live out his dream here, satisfying audiences in a way that even the Hollywood heavyweights have a hard time delivering these days. If this marks a beginning in how technology is figured into moviemaking, you would hope that people would not just look at how they made it, but why it was made in the first place. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
