OMG I CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS!!! it looks sooo fantastic and origianl. finally something new is coming out! it kinda looks like an old-style Star Wars, but that makes it even more cool. who else wants to see this?

Original? It's a remake of all the old 50's and 60's movies of the same genre, kinda like MARS ATTACKS.
It does look very awesome, but i'm not all that interested really. The style and genre put me off. I'm sure it'll make a good rental.

well, by original, i meant something that hasnt been done in a very long time. i just looked up the reviews and they were great.

Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing and it is refreshing to have something like it in theatres. I'm just not really a fan of the genre or style of the film. Doesn't mean i can't appreciate it.

I'm going tomorrow. I love retro-future.

I want to see that so bad. Angelina Jolie in uniform... And an eyepatch for yours truly.

The more I see the commercials for this movie, the more it appeals to me. I may consider seeing it in theatres.

retro-future, that's the one. Good wording!

And as much of a HUGE Jolie fan i am, i think the uniform, eyepatch and slicked hair does her little justice unfortunately.

Man, they should change the title to just 'Sky Captain'.

Bah I think this movie looks bad really. All the CGI crap, I cant take it..

I didn't care about seeing this movie until i saw the giant Mecha.
I like the style i jsut hope it has a good story...

Try watching it first, the title actually explains the whole movie.

I personally didn't like it. It reminded me of a B movie, except with a nice budget. The old style isn't really my thing, since I'm such a huge holy-sh**-that-giant-spider-just-ripped-off-his-head-and-blood-went-everywhere kind of guy.

The story wasn't original. It was a very nice change of pace compared to other movies that are coming out. Now I want to go see something that'll make me crap my pants. Woohoo!

I am a HUGE fan of Angelina too, but she looks sexy with everything she wears. I love her . But, I dunno when I'll be able to see it (maybe december right here in Chile? )

It just looks cheesy I know its suppost to be that, but still

how in the hell does it look cheesy? its not supposta be like that.

Well when it comes out down in Australia, I `ll give it a go, sounds interesting!

Went yesterday. Pretty good. Dragged a little, here and there, but faithful to its format. Worth the ticket price, I think.

how the hell does it not look cheesy? have you seen paltrows character? blurred with a nice white light around her?
cheesy characters, cheesy cheesy acting, cheese and ham story!

It's not been getting very favourable views back here.

Although anything with Jude Law has to be worth a look! Phwoar!

I see most things anyway so I'm sure I'll be seeing this!

Just one of it's less praising reviews :

Ames

I'll probably wait for the DVD .... even then I might not watch it. Looks kindy Kooky

Realyy Ames? Then why IGN gave it 5 out of 5 stars?

Isn't IGN for videogames? I wouldn't trust their review on a movie.

They are usually accurate with their reviews for movies. At least for me you know.

The best review is your own.

You're right there. Now, usually IGN and I agree in taste for movies, so it's a good guide for me

This looks like a desprate atempt at making a movie.horrible who designed the robots!they're GAY looking.ill give it 2 thumbs down

Unlike those really cool robots teenage superheroes on Saturday Morning T.V. morph into.

Sky Captain's blue screen magic

Sci-fi adventure film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is the first major movie to be made using entire sets created with "blue screen" digital technology.
The film, which opens in the UK next week, stars Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow in a retro-futuristic thriller set in 1930s New York.




Paltrow plays reporter Polly Perkins, who joins her former love Sky Captain (Law) on a mission to stop a mad scientist's plot to destroy the world.

The pair battle giant robots on a trail that takes them from the frozen Himalayas to a prehistoric jungle island.


The cast filmed their scenes against a blue screen, and were later placed into fantastic settings with thousands of spectacular digital effects filled in.

Storyboard drawings

First-time director Kerry Conran spent almost a decade working on the $70m (£39m) project, beginning with a series of storyboard drawings which he converted to digital images on his laptop.

After producing a six-minute short, the process was later refined and the still graphics animated to produce a rough 3-D video using digital actors, called an animatic.

As technical aspects such as the lighting, depth and composition were enhanced, a grid was created for each slot and mapped out on the blue screen stage floor.

Using acting doubles, the film was shot all the way through in a kind of "dress rehearsal" before Law, Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and others were brought in.

Once adjustments of angles and shadows had been made to produce a cohesive rough cut, the stars spent just a month on the shoot - far shorter than the time usually needed on location.

'Sea of blue'

The film's producer, Jon Avnet, said: "What was valuable with the animatics is that it showed the actors what the shot was.

"There was enough detail for Paltrow to understand exactly what was happening and that when she's stepping on dots, it's actually an entire plane."

Paltrow said: "It was a sea of blue, literally. It was blue everywhere, blue floors, blue walls with various dots in places to orient the computer."

Law said the process was not always easy: "It was difficult at times, but at the same time you also free your mind, and your art follows.

"We were really in this kind of make-believe world, anyhow. You could say it was kind of similar to doing theatre in empty spaces."

Digital first

Although computer-generated imagery has been a large part of the film industry for many years, this is the first notable film made entirely digitally with live actors. Only the items they touch are real.

Scenes in classic movies such as Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark were made using the technology in the 1970s and 80s, while the combination of live actors and static sets has a spectacular heritage stretching back to King Kong and Gone With The Wind.

Sky Captain uses the technology to create a vintage sci-fi aesthetic drawing on the look of 1930s and 40s serials such as Flash Gordon, as well as classic film noir and the pioneering futurism of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

Shot with high definition digital cameras, the stars are muted in soft focus to give them the textured look of black-and-white movies.

"It's so difficult to get the effects right that you tend to celebrate every shot you get done," said Mr Avnet.

Jolie is a bad guy right? That kinda turns me on.

What the eye-patch and leather suit?

Just the fact that she's evil turns me on dude. I would prefer her without anything on, especially the eyepatch.

lol

Yey I just saw, now i understand why is also called the World of Tommorow.

The only thing I didnt like about it is there is no villians. Well, live ones that is...
