I’ve been excited about this film for over a year and a half since a studio I worked in was sent some initial footage with the actors in front of the green screen. The concept of this film looks just beautiful, and I’ve been anxious to see how well they can pull it off. Well, the early reviews are in and they look awfully good!.
“An Art Deco fantasia imagined by a gadget-obsessed 12-year-old, Sky Captain scarcely bothers with plot, instead streaking straight into the atmosphere.”
— Chris Barsanti, SLANT MAGAZINE“So perfectly captures the sci-fi wonder of ’30s serials…that watching it doesn’t arouse a modern reaction of “wow!” or “cool!” — it garners a genuine, awe-struck “golly!””
— Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE“The mythology of ‚ÄúStar Wars‚Äù with the stylized flair of 1940s film noir, digitally dreamed and superbly acted. Say hello to what could be the best film of 2004.”
— David Foucher, EDGE BOSTON“…this movie entertained me from beginning until the end…”
— JoBlo, JOBLO’S MOVIE EMPORIUM
I’m completely pumped. Many thanks to the good folks at Rotten Tomatoes for the review quote.
