I have seen the GURPS movie...
Sep. 17th, 2004 02:41 pmSky Captain and the World of Tomorrow quite simply rocks. It exploits every cliffhanger genre, has some really funny moments, and the plot? Nice and simple.. If the insidious Dr. Totenkopf isn't stopped, the world will be destroyed.
So, what did we get?
Zeppelins, lost worlds, mystery plots, giant robots attacking New York, a highly modified P-40 Warhawk, Shangri-la, a Godzilla reference, Science!, romance, close calls, heart-stopping action, and the Royal Navy's Mobile Recon Base (aka the helicarrier.)
The all-CGI sets were just hokey enough to give the right feel to the film. It feels like it's set in some alternate late-30s.
I have one complaint. Characters constantly refer to World War I. Since the film seems to be set in a world where there are no Nazis, and thus no WWII, the proper term would have been The Great War.
