You Should See This One

" Sky Captain and the World of To-morrow "

Why should you see this movie ? You could be one of the 300 people who saw this one. Including me.

" SC and the Wof T " is an mostly - SG picture revolving around the adventures of  SKY CAPTAIN  ( Jude Law ), call me Joe. An ex-Nazi, ex-person Totenkopf wants to destroy the world and start over. Joe is a mercenary for hire ( I know what a mercenary is - they don't ). The reporter, Polly Perkins ( Gwyneth Paltrow ) who catches the story is the love interest , ex-love interest, aussi .
SC flies a Curtis P - 40 Tomahawk, a Flying Tiger.  The plane can fly anywhere and I mean anywhere, even underwater.
The film resembles a 1940 s serial. In fact, I believe, the original plan was to show the film as a segented piece.
This is not the " Artist " ala Scorcese. You don't get brownie points for watching this one.
Its different. and besides you get to see Angelina Jolie in black leather and giving orders. Angie plays Frankie , commander / pilot / lover in the Royal Navy.

Update 2012 7/15 The producer-director s are bros. Terry and ....... Conran
I appreciate their effort. Obviously, a campish sort of production. But Paltrow and Law shine as does Giovanni Ribisi ( excellent supproting actor )
