vr_trakowskiJust watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. A sublimely silly, ridiculous movie. I found it deeply amusing, and of course I really enjoy Angelina Jolie's work as it is. Plus, adorable geek-boy. I was snickering at the slash potential in the beginning and hoping he would bite Joe out of sheer irritation by the end.
But all the characters were white except a few Tibetans, and they were either stereotypes or villains. Seems to me the filmmakers could have done better than that.
Also, I think it would have been much more interesting if Polly and Joe could have stopped the rocket from destroying the Earth but not from leaving, so that they went with it to wherever it was headed...bickering all the way.
ETA: From the trailers, I'd assumed that Ms. Jolie's character was the Sky Captain.
