Space Captain and The World of Tomorrow

hdrygas · 09-18-2004, 11:48 PM

I saw Space Captain and the World of Tomorrow today. I think the critics are crazy this is a good film and great fun. It recreates much of the great old classic Sci-fi and comics of my misspent youth. Defiantly a keeper.

ahh henry, those are the same people who said a fantasy film would never win the oscar for best director or best picture... then along came a little trilogy about a ring...

I'm so excited to see this thing...I love the concept, the cast, and the previews make it seem almost dreamlike it it's recreation of the 30s era space films.

Isn't it 'Sky Captain'?

my wife and i just saw it today and we both loved it. very fast moving, with a wonderful buck rogers feel.

and the critics here (long island) liked it, so i guess i was surprised to read above that some didn't, but that's always the way.

it was a great movie and i loved the way they made the backgrounds like the city buildings look like a comic book scenery.

although the comedy was canned and dated, it was still refreshing and spontaneous.

and just like the 1930's depression era comics, there was plot twists galore.

Easy to do that when the whole movie was filmed in front of a blue screen & the only thing real is the actors

Made by a guy who loved the old Superman cartoons. Can't wait to see it myself.

I was seriously wondering if it was the director's intent to have the scenery and everything look like that. Nothing turns me off more than CG gone bad.

Gullom, good. Godzilla 2k, bad.

Yea, it's intentional...supposed to be a flashback to the 30s era space movies and to recreate that whole B&W dreamy feel. The previews just have me razzed.
