Sarah and I watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on DVD the other day. The story was interesting enough to keep things going for most of the movie. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by this film, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. But the completely absurd absolutely over the top completely in your face so that you don’t ever forget it use of shadows was just way too much! After the first ten minutes I felt like getting am and explaining that I get it already, you are into shadows, now move on. Instead of being completely absurd with the shadows this file should have just been down in blank and white instead.
I’d rate this film as watch it, but take some Advil before you do to counteract the headache inducing use of shadows throughout the entire film.
