Your initial wows will quickly turn into yawns.

The must-see summer blockbuster of 1939, it's the new Far From Heaven -- only this time for nerds instead of gay guys.
09/15/04
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a fun, exciting, visually stunning film that falls just short of brilliant.
09/15/04
It's disconcerting to consider that the aims of the villain jibe with the aims of the film itself.

I want a Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow lunchbox.

If you can get past the constant blurring, you’ll have a good time watching it.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a real pulp fiction swashbuckler with never a dull moment.
09/15/04
Though initially intriguing & intermittently appealing, the film never develops, and hides its most interesting character till the end when it's too late. Overall - bland.
09/15/04
Conran's influences often make Sky Captain seem like the fever dream of a hopeless film buff -- it may be derivative, but it's never dull.

The World of Tomorrow feels like yesterday's news.

Sky Captain's sidekick is a high-tech genius. He invents a pistol that fires smoke rings. It doesn't kill the enemy, but it sure delights them over cocktails!

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!"
09/14/04
An utterly mesmerizing, boundlessly imaginative achievement, perhaps -- and I do not use such terms lightly -- the most visually astounding motion picture ever made.
09/14/04
A chimeric big-screen extravaganza that’s refreshingly unique.
09/13/04
...this movie entertained me from beginning until the end...
09/13/04
Conran has fashioned an eye-popping roller coaster of a film that is a glorious evocation of a golden age of filmmaking that should have been
09/11/04
Hybrid of old Hollywood conventions and advanced digital technology is arresting at first but gradually trails off under the weight of its hyper-derivativeness and anxiety to please.
09/10/04
Top CriticWorking against blue screens, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law and Angelina Jolie strike a confident balance between action-adventure archetypes and vulnerable romantics.
09/10/04
A dazzling and groundbreaking film, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is the most fun you'll have at the movies this year.
