Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) starring Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow. Take two parts "Raiders of the Lost Ark," add one part "Empire Strikes Back" and a dash of "War of the Worlds." Throw in jazzy computer-generated special effects, and mute the palate so that everything appears sepia-toned with just a touch of color added. Season with flimsy plot. Voila! "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow."
Angelina Jolie has a rather small role, and those who are looking for a display of her beauty will be disappointed. Some of the action scenes are thrilling, but overall the film's murky look drags it down. Grade: B-
