The film looks more challenging than the ads give it credit, both from an acting standpoint and as pure family entertainment (i.e., think: original Star Wars, before Lucas' revisions). If you are looking for Bergman, don't bother, but if you're up for a fast paced serial-style thrill ride in an atmospheric 30's setting this just might be the best fun around. I'm reserving judgment, because I'm not sure how the sepia toned world will wear over nearly 2 hours, but I'm optimistic.

Keep in mind that this isn't a review, just expectations based on the extended scenes I've seen and making of material (i.e., viewed on my 6' screen & DLP projected), but I'm going to see Sky Captain in the world of tomorrow, as in Saturday! ;^)
