It may end being a giant pile of BS (Jolie has become the kiss of the death) but it looks pretty damn cool. I am a total nut for alternative histories and this movie is hot as hell from a Crimson Skies standpoint. Lovely art too.

I'm not quite sure what to make of it, or how I feel. Nice art direction.

I'm kinda interested ... I guess.

It's the director's first movie, and he's never even worked on a film crew before.

Also, there were no sets built for the movie--every single shot is green-screen or full CGI.

So it's basically an animated film--the filming style of the Star Wars prequels taken to its logical conclusion.

It looks like one of those movies that is going to be a hit with sci-fi people, or one of the worst movies ever made. The alternate history idea is pretty cool..

I don't know about the actual movie, but the soft bloom lighting used for the entire thing is absolutely STUNNING. The movie is quite beautiful, that's for sure...but the concept is very odd.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I'm actually put off my the filtering they used, just like I was by Minority Report. Looks amazing nonetheless. The cast suprised me the most.

Bleh, I can't get too excited about a film that is 95% middle-budget CGI. It just makes the whole affair look like some shitty cutscene from a circa 1997 PC game. If ILM can't make CG-bluescreen work look real and convincing, then I doubt these guys can either. I think the art design is good, but the execution of the project has me anxious.

Between the art design and the terrible name, it's pretty clear that this will bomb regardless of quality. I can't believe the studio is actually letting them call it "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". On the bright side, its failure will probably scare other studios away from doing completely CG films.

This is one of the more original things I've seen in years and it looks good so I will be there on opening night - guaranteed.

That's not a big deal - good movies bomb all the time and complete shit makes hundreds of millions :D

Hang out with Steve.
Early trailers had me not interested, but the two most recent trailers, especially this newest one, have me absolutely excited about it. Looks fantastic, and I can't wait!

My fear is that the bloom lighting that looks cool for about ninety seconds is going to wear really thin after two hours. Also, no matter how pretty a movie is, it's nothing without a script (see Chronicles of Riddick).

That said, I'll probably see it opening weekend.

I want this movie to be awesome. I want it to be great and something I'd be proud of to eventually have in my DVD collection. I love the art direction and whole style of the film is totally stunning. It looks like new-age filmmaking mixed with sci-fi out of the 50s and 60s. I'll definitely be there on opening weekend.

Please be good, please be good...

WOW...

So Angelina Jolie plays an ace pilot with one eye. I guess that whole Depth perception thing for pilots has gone right out the window.

Some of the scenes reminded me of ID4, but in an old 1930's radio drama era.


The Undersea battle was weird, because they went underwater with their planes?!?!?!? I mean at least make it somewhat believeable.

Oh well. I guess we will see how well this does when it comes out.

First tragedy, then farce.
The movie isnt supposed to be realistic.. its a take off on the old 30's-50's radio and TV shows set in the future.. completely unrealistic expectations.. Im really looking forward to this.

This movie is going to tank so hard. The title alone is enough to doom it.

I remember a few months ago, there was talk of me and Olimario making a bet regarding it's success. Since then, he has been noticeably absent in all threads concerning it. He is still around, isn't he?

I love the look of this, and the advance reviews have mostly been positive. Unfortunately, even the positive reviews have indicated poor audience reaction to the film, and the acting in the trailers has been pretty questionable.

And why does Paramount seem to be downplaying the retro aspects? I mean, the new trailers are presented like pretty much any other sci-fi action film (as opposed to the more retro teaser back in December, which was great).

Anyway, I'll definitely be there opening weekend. But I don't expect a sequel.
