60 of 203 · most liked firstI introduced a buddy to Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. How the hell did this movie bomb? Its a rockin pulp adventure with giant robots, mad scientists, submarine planes, and cool gadgets. Styled like the old 1940s Fleischer Superman cartoons. The world needs more weird-ass films like this
positive · AI labelView post →SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW - a film done dirty. Made for $17M in B&W, the studio paid another $17M to colorize it. An overzealous producer inflated the budget numbers in an interview to $70M to look like a big shot. The result was the movie looked like a bomb rather than a modest success.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow: It took a fifth viewing for me to see this movie for the masterpiece is truly is. The script = pomo-retro at its finest, rousing and hilarious, like the best Indiana Jones. CGI borders on Sharknado fake, and I don't give a flying FUCK. #FilmSky Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

neutral · AI labelView post →Giant SpaceX rocket blows up - in the 2004 cult movie "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow", a Nazi scientist plots to stuff a giant rocket w/all the world species but humans & send it to another planet (launch will destroy all life on Earth.) There are eerie resonances with our current moment.
neutral · AI labelView post →This only works on like mid movies, maybe. You can't do it with a film like Plan 9 from Outer Space or The Room because the jank is part of the appeal. But maybe an actually good version of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? Sucker Punch, but with a better director?
neutral · AI labelView post →The Incredibles was a rare hit, but the sequel struggled. Tomorrowland was a famous flop. Even a legit classic like The Iron Giant still bombed on release. See also: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, The Rocketeer, Mars Attacks, Flash Gordon, Dick Tracy, The Phantom, etc.

neutral · AI labelView post →SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW just celebrated its 20th anniversary. Surprised not to have seen a single piece examining its odd legacy—that was indeed the future of big-budget filmmaking, to a large extent, yet nobody saw or remembers the movie (despite huge attention at the time).

neutral · AI labelView post →Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow gets a new 4K remastered Blu-ray release. The unique throwback sci-fi film *Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow* didn't make the splash it was hoping for with audiences. In fact, we feel it's an overlooked film here at JoBlo as Chris Bumbray tries to shine a light on the alien invasion film with a [retrospective video](https://www.joblo.com/sky-captain-and-the-world-of-tomorrow/). He recommends it highly by saying, "If you haven't seen this movie, I urge…

neutral · AI labelView post →I was gonna watch a horror movie but then I saw Netflix has Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and my hand moved of its own accord to play that because, like Pacific Rim, this is a film scientifically designed to appeal to me and my tastes.
positive · AI labelView post →My 2nd pick: the wonderfully sincere Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, which was despised at the time. It never got the credit it deserved (which technically means it doesn't match my criteria, but oh well), and I like its earnestness even more in an age where everything's ironic.
