The film's simple plot brings back memoi childhood Saturday morning cartoons andca books. Once the audience accepts the initial placement of the visuals, it will notice how the ethereal, dreamlike colorization complex the film’s retro nature. During the first robot tack, it’s hard to swallow the menace of obvion animated robots, but by the end of the mmit becomes hard to distinguish what is computer mated and what is real.

The sooner au diences accept that what they’re watching is an animated throwback to the golden age of cinema, the sooner they can let go and be sucked into its vortex of wide-eyed fun. Though the film’s dia logue and acting are pitch perfect throwbacks to the Jays when movies could be fun without insulting an audience’s intelligence, “Sky Captain” will be remembered for its visual technique. Filmed entirely in front of a green screen, the actors were inserted into a world that first-time director Kerry Conran and his team of animators took painstaking details to create. This is a world in which wonderfully expansive cityscapes fill the skyline as a lone plane battles with monstrously rampaging robots. A combination of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and a Fleischer Superman cartoon, the movie features a world where the plot can take unexpected turns without the burden of logic and leave the audiences enjoying the ride every step of the way.
