Sky Captain and the Films of Tomorrow

professorfalcon writes "Foxnews.com has an interview with the stars of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. They talk about their experience hugging a green screen for the entire film, and how the movie is 'unlike anything most audiences have seen before. It uses no sets, only computer generated imagery.' So most audiences didn't see Star Wars?"

Re:Isn't that a "blue" screen?

Blue screen, green screen- whatever. I saw this movie yesterday, and it was pretty darn bad. Not so horrible that I couldn't watch it, but if it hadn't looked nice, I would have walked out.

It's obvious that they were going for a 1940's serial look - Flash Gordon, etc. They achieved that, and I think they hit the target they were aiming at.

But when a movie-goer from 2004 goes to see this film, some of the situations and dialogue are so bad, that it's pitiful. I am not kidding when I say that most of the theatre was laughing AT the movie. Not at the parts that were supposed to be funny- just at the parts that were supposed to be serious, but ended up being so sappy that it was just sad.

Yes- they were going for the 40's serial, yes they hit their mark...but it was really, really bad. Even the producers of those serials wouldn't make the same movies today if they had a choice.
