We* went to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow yesterday. Wonderful! Visually it's an art deco treat, from the searchlights over the skyscrapers to Polly's aluminium-framed dark glasses, from the Royal Navy's "air ships" to the ray gun. ("Just shake it.") And film buffs will have so much fun identifying all of the references.... I'm sure that when the DVD comes out there'll be a "director's commentary" explaining all of them, but until then it's going to be a great game.
This is one to see again.
* "We" being The Fellowship, the group that went to each of the Lord of the Rings episodes together, plus my son Chris, who's visiting from Seattle.
