Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was complete rubbish. The vapid Paltrow as the leading female and the shallow, obvious but boring plot really made me mourn the lost hour. I think Soul Plane was better than this...
The worst part was that it had such great potential. The main draw is the nostalgic backdrops in blue screen, but unfortunately, the bad script made the visuals the only saving grace. The characters could have been better developed. Paltrow's character was completely annoying and distracting to the movie. We get too much silly, selfish newsreporter and very little of the other potentially "cool" characters (or they would have been cool if the plot actually revealed more about these people): heroic pilot, russian camper, british daredevil, dirty-faced asian, newspaper editor, mad scientist. Unfortunately, the cool characters last less than a flicker during the movie. The stills are a much better way to appreciate the landscape. Ah well, unfortunate... it seems that this weekend was full of shallow plots...
