This is a 2004 view of what a 1930’s view of the future could look like. Most of the CGI and blue-screen overlays had to be a tad fuzzy to make the scenes work. The language may be a tad stilted, but it is designed to be a thirties movie rendition.
It seems that toward the end of the last war, a brilliant visionary scientist disappeared, and the entire Group 11 project was disbanded. Today, top scientists are going missing, and it is up to Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow), a reporter-photographer, to find the reason.
Meanwhile, it looks as though a destructive menace is ravaging the city (looking for something) and the only person capable of foiling the evil plot is, you guessed it, Joe "Sky Captain" Sullivan (Jude Law, of “GATTACA” (1997) fame).
Eventually, Joe runs out of gas, and only Franky (Angelina Jolie) can save him if there is time. Meanwhile, Polly finds that her camera has only two shots left; can she make the best of them?
How can this daring duo and their pals foil the nefarious plot that may prove fatal to the world as we know it?
