>> Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Today sees the release of this “Blue-screen blockbuster”, with Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie’s performances captured in front of blue screens and superimposed onto computer generated sets. I’ve not seen it and reviews have been (ahem) mixed – Apparently it looks fabulous but the performances, plotting and dialogue don’t quite live up to the visual “wow factor”. But if you’re nostalgic for the days of Flash Gordon, the world in peril and serialised Saturday morning drama, this could push all the right buttons.
As for the site, it has all the bells and whistles we’ve come to expect from a big Hollywood site – a choice of five different switchable designs, trailers, a downloadable Flying Legion Combat Challenge game featuring several full scenes from the film, and DVD-style bonus features including character design sketches plus a director’s commentary.
