Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow ***1/2

Now this was fun. A very adventurous throwback to the doomsday films of World War 1 and 2. Remember back in the old days, when the city was in danger and they had to radio the hero for help? The radio tower with the ball at the top, and the radio waves coming out in animated circles: "Calling Sky Captain! Come in, Sky Captain! We need your help!" Giant, flying metal men are invading the city and causing havok. Bat-like flying machines are destroying the Air Force. An evil genius is creating a doomsday device. Who will help us? Sky Captain, that's who. This movie is just lots of fun. Leave reality at home and take your imagination with you. You will not be disappointed.

p.s. That Totenkopf must be a trillionaire. Even for the era's standards.
