Sky Captain: World of Tomorrow

Minor Spoilers!!!

Let me first say this about the movie: terrible. One thing that bugged me was how it was all done in computer animation, except for the actors who were live action. They were the only thing live action. Also, the colors were very dark through the first several minutes, giving a black and white feel or something, which also bugged me. The characters, ugh. They were so one track minded that they were totally unbelievable. For example, Polly Perkins. At one point she drops her camera in a gutter, and risks getting stepped on by a unit of giant robots to get it out. She could have waited until those 8 robots passed her to get her camera, because it's not like they were damaging the roads or anything, but now, we have to have drama. And the fantasy world type setting was interesting... they had enough money and technology to have giant air fortresses fly around in the sky constantly, can build giant robots, giant rocket, but they must continue to use simple type-writers. But hey, a fantasy world, right? I don't want to go into a full review, but let's just say that one major thing that bugged me was, again, the characters. They just didn't seem real, they were too stupid. Oh, and Polly Perkins risked going into a room full of dynamite that was going to explode in two seconds to get her camera. Why?

All in all, bad movie, if not downright terrible.
