Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - Theatrical trailer

[TheEmotionalstone]

All I thought when I watched this was 0:33 WATSON!!!

[Powercrazed122]

Where's the Doctor when you need him?

[Shinjischneider]

Good thing i've never seen this trailer, otherwise i might have missed out on a great Dieselpunk-Movie :)

[Mistaken4starz]

@Shinjischneider dieselpunk isnt a genre.

[Shinjischneider]

@Mistaken4starz

Google the term if you find the time. A whole buttload of movies can be considered Dieselpunk.

For instance:

The Rocketeer

The Phantom

Sucker Punch

[SLemonspunk]

I think the filmmakers were going for a pulp Sci-Fi feel here. The acting was mediocre and the plot was generic, but the visual effects were what really made up for all that. I actually ended up not minding the acting or the plot at all because I truly felt like I was reading an old Sci-Fi serial from the 1940-50's, and that was what made the film memorable.

[GunslingerXYZ]

I remember being super excited for this movie when I was 14. It didn't disappoint me. Thought it was a blast and enjoy it to this day. Very underrated! I know we'll never see a sequel, but I do hope Kerry Conran directs again. Surely Hollywood can see beyond the mediocre box office returns and realize what an impressive directorial debut he made. Surely...

[EddieMotorhead]

To be honest, this has to be one of the worst movies ever made, the actors (expecily jude law) looked like they were uncomfortable in their roles at some points if i recall, 20s-40s something eras planes and laser technology?? And robots that looks like they can only go in one direction? And the lame story really? Not to mention the acting feels like a really bad B-movie or worse? I'am sure they tried to make the movie good and i applaud that. Imo this is super cheezy movie. Just my opinon :S

[Buemmo]

@EddieMotorhead your mind doesnt have enough capacity to realize whats going on. obviously. Simple: Its not todays Science Fiction where everything is made out of carbon and plastic. Its the science fiction of the 50s and 60s and thats what makes it epic. Its like the movie version of modern science and 60s sci fi comics COMBINED.

[EddieMotorhead]

@Buemmo I rarely watch movies or TV at all thsse days, mainly because everything has turn into shit and this movie is also rather crap but still decent in it's own way. I don't like it though personaly.

[anonymanity]

to all the people who are saying that the color of the film is missed up, they purposly made this film to look like an old technicolor movie

[anonymanity]

test

[crimsonhead100]

Reminds me of EA's Red Alert series

[promisedeyes]

It was a very good movie. It was bashed a lot of multiple reasons-- because of the cast, the long time in development, etc. But forget that and watch it now.

[hoosierwood]

This film was before its time. It should be re-released in 3D.

[wrcousert]

@hoosierwood Agreed. This was a great movie.

[Kom3tBrawl]

It was definitely a bizarre movie, but a good one.

[nmoravec1]

I know many complain that it's mostly CGI, but unlike many films that go into CGI overload, Sky Captain uses it mostly for style, much like films like 300 and Sin City.

[TheDefiantBadger]

@nmoravec1 Well, I don't really agree. I say that both 300 and sin city use it for style really quite effectively. Sky Captain not so much, it felt for me that the visuals were really open and spacious which just makes the whole film seem overwhelmingly bland. I get that it was trying to go for a neo/post-noir sort of look, but it simply didn't agree with me unfortuntely.

[RobertODurantE2010]

this is a great movie,just watch it, wooooo if you like comic style , that's your movie

[selftrainedjedi]

this movie is old , like really old not 2004 old

[TheDefiantBadger]

@selftrainedjedi Hahaha. Wot?

[MrLegendman3]

I spy with my little eye a very good movie.

[HuffytheMagicDragon]

Best Crimson Skies movie if there ever was one- and there are crimson skies reccomendations below! Coincidence? I think not!

[anonymanity]

@HuffytheMagicDragon if it had had air pirates instead of robots, then I would agree with you

[HuffytheMagicDragon]

Best Crimson Skies movie if there ever was one

[zenbeer]

I used to play Galaga a lot.

[andre1onate]

They should make this into a really awesome video game for PS2 or XBox...!!

[FaintestFusion]

@andre1onate why would they make a game for ps2 or xbox? people are talking starting to talk about the successors to ps3 and xbox360

[1208koki]

いいね

[dominiqful]

It kinda reminds me of our czech filmmaker- karel zeman. could he have been inspired by him and his films? very good movie.

[firstgovs]

Loved it

[samsam29]

For a second I read "Nude Jaw" instead of "Jude Law" o.O

[mrsotter19]

@samsam29 Maybe wishful thinking...?

[SuckItLily]

@samsam29 Dude! Naw!

[causerkid]

This was a really bad movie.

[wasserwanne]

@causerkid Sad but true.

[AngelBiLove]

I think it's a good film-making of a comicbook story =) A succeeded attempt i'd say.

[georgelewis]

Angelina Looks different she again a lot of weight......

[GuyWithBluePoop]

Dude I've been trying to remember the name of this movie for 6 years and someone finally knew what I was talking about. It's always nice when you learn the name of a song or movie you watched or listened to long ago.

[marksmartus2]

I liked this movie a lot! I hope Carey Conran makes another one someday.

[illusions97]

Kerry Conran is my cousin !

[AARONeclipsePDI]

You don't know how frustration it was to remember this movie. I couldn't remember the name, actors, anything. All I had was a vague image of this trailer that I saw almost 7 years ago. haha Glad I found it. I wanna watch it now cause I never did.

[haleyteddy03]

FUNNY CONNECTIONS:

1) Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law were also in "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

2) Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie have both dated Brad Pitt

[boredtodeathstudios]

i'm not sure if i saw this when i was younger

[Agakroete45]

luftwaffel XD

[JuggaloNinja669]

there is so much steampunk in this movie...i cant wait 2 check it out =D

[BREBOYDE]

I LUV THIS MOVIE :DD

[mitxelus]

I really wanted to see this movie when it came out, because the aesthetics were very appealing, but I don't know why I never did, should I go rent it now?

[tmnthandshake]

@mitxelus if you liked the vintage fifties future prediction. ex. the flying cars robots and things of that nature its worth a view

[kidzoki]

@mitxelus See it!

You either "get" this movie or you don't.

[kvn8907]

@mitxelus Yep. Go rent it.

[scudwerfer]

should i buy the dvd???

[mrsotter19]

I love the retro look of this movie. Apparently it is one of those films that don't do well in the theatres and then develop a cult following...

[phantomafigirl06]

I had this movie and i played it so many times that i had to replace it and did the same thing with the replacement

[dilettante121]

The visuals are just awful, they look like a FMV from a command and conquer game of the 90s.

[Snagabott]

Anyone loving this movie should play crimson skies.

[Tigerman1138]

I loved this movie! I thought it was excellent. I remember how much I wanted to see it and how well done it was.

[fermill]

wack..

[adster132]

Holy shit Angelina Jolie?! She has come far in her career lol

[skatepunkzero]

the reason I didn't like this movie is for a few reasons one Gwyneth Paltrows acting was terriable. and the Biggest reasons I hated it IS they filmed it on a Green Screen and You can EASILY TELL! It looks too unrealistic. It disapointed me because I love the 30's and 40's aircrat and I was hoping this would be like Crimson Skies

[Sanimangas]

@skatepunkzero

duuude, this is steampunk, it's supposed to be this way

[skatepunkzero]

@Sanimangas You can make a good Steampunk movie without using really bad CGI, you can easily tell its on a Green Screen which doesn't make it look steampunk or diesel punk at all makes it look like a bad movie which it was.

[Sanimangas]

@skatepunkzero

You make a good point. And you changed my opinion :) thanks.

[Zeta39Reticuli]

@skatepunkzero It makes a good reference movie for anyone looking for Diesel punk inspiration, though.

[skatepunkzero]

@Zeta39Reticuli That is true, but me personally Ill just look up crimson skies

[Zeta39Reticuli]

@skatepunkzero You are awesome, sir.

[skatepunkzero]

@Zeta39Reticuli Thank you

[jasonlee0290]

@skatepunkzero I agree with you on Gwyneth Paltrows acting but DUDE! Seriously! You dislike this movie cuz of the green screen? Films like these are featured in a classic silver screened style since the beginning of this was in the 1950's. It can't just stop just cuz you think you got your influences from a fancy video game. I played that game. Its cool, but Its not supposed to be that realistic cuz most of these retro steam punk Metropolis like films are based on science fiction fantasy.

[skatepunkzero]

@jasonlee0290 Yeah but this green screen was terriable it looks really fake when you watch it. Go watch Sin City if you haven't, Rob Rodriguez did a great job of making the Green Screen look real! This Green Screen looks really bad and fake it looks homemade, it looks too unrealistic. Hell even Stars which was filmed on a Green Screen looked Believable. Sorry this Director did a really bad job. If a Director can't make a movie look real or believable than they are a bad Director.

[jasonlee0290]

@skatepunkzero I watched Sin City, Watchmen and The Spirit a million times and those movies including Sky Captain actually used the same concept, equipment, budget and that same classic look. All those films have been critiqued badly on their special effects because again, "Its too unrealistic" " It looks iike a crappy like an old movie" dude...... thats the style. I know the director didn't have that much success because obviously not too many people enjoy watching a steampunk movie.

[skatepunkzero]

@jasonlee0290 Actually both Sin City and Watchmen were well reviewed and well Liked and actually looked good with there Special Effects, all had great acting and everything blended together well in them. Watchmen was given mostly a B review and was really well loved.

[jasonlee0290]

@skatepunkzero As far as the acting goes. Well I give the director a bit of credit cuz he didn't make the movie too modern. Its supposed to be a bit cheesy with classic hollywood punch lines. it was never meant to look realistic anyway. Since your a Robert Rodriguez fan I'm SURE you noticed that since he has worked with Tarantino both of their styles ALWAYS always always have that cheesy, classic, semi-crappy edited opening of every one of their films.

[skatepunkzero]

@jasonlee0290 You do realize the almost all of Tarantinos movies are Dark Comedies right? Thats why Death Proof had the intro where it says thunder bolt than it quickly changes to Death Proof. Thats why Pulp Ficiton had the cheap 70's Fonts for its intro. Its all part of Tarantinos Violent dark humor style. Which Tarantino is really really good at. This Director tired making a serious Diesel/steam punk movie and did a bad job.

[langitgrey]

abstract movie?

[bazzaman911]

i liked this movie. imo, this movie was pioneering the future of CGI based movies. this and sin city

[TheAdmirableAdmiral]

I enjoyed the art design and concepts of this movie but Gweneth Paltrow's acting was atrocious and the plot was rather lacking.

[CrimsoNShadovv]

I loved it.

[635574]

they couldnt do realistic CGI, so they made the whole thing have unrealistic colors.

[dontcindyme]

@dodgesxt The description for the movie says Art Deco, so 30's

[badhuman167]

locks like red alert

[joaquinR1stargate]

it waz kool xDD

[yeaboikat]

i have been looking for this movie for forever!

jude law!

[Elricchasers]

i think they made this movie in order to remind us of what movies and life was like during the old days. thats why they made it so similar to black and white style.

[Elricchasers]

I watched this movie just now and i can very much admit this movie is awsome made into a classical style. its even better if you watch it with a high definition tv!

[Kentonuk]

For the retards this was not meant to be Steampunk it's based on how books of the 1930's etc wrote about the future war of the worlds etc.

[shanttytown]

the most underrated movie of all time. The storyline has deep meaning and roots its not for those who are dumbasses frankly. Thats partially why it gets hate cause you idiots dont understand the story.

[AnonomusKity]

literally 3 real ppl and the rest all fuckin animated.... thats tight and shit. but looks fake. cgi -.-

[shanttytown]

@AnonomusKity Wow you obviously have bad taste in movies this is an amazing movie.

[PrometheusWithLight]

@AnonomusKity

Yes, it's CGI, but what's interesting, instead of trying to make everything look as realistic as possible, they tried to make it look as though they were using actors, model planes, model robots, and such, to make it feel like a 1930's sci fi movie. They did a damn fine job.

[CharlieSoldier]

i know for fact that i've seen this. i wonder why i forgot that i had. i think i was too young and tired to understand any of it, lol. but i love steampunk

[CannonBall01991]

wow this looks pretty good i needto find a copy of this

[masmamadas]

This is a perfect Steampunk movie

[shanttytown]

@masmamadas not really steampunk #fail

[Rosiercentral]

Does anyone else notice that some of the villians resemble those seen in an old Superman cartoon? Particularly at 0:49.

Anyways, I really want to see this movie.

[TheBaconlaser]

People don't understand how gud this movie really was, I liked the part about SHANGRI-LAA!!!!

[9Vespers]

when does he get to use the maximillian?

[amycatc]

It really was a really good movie. But it got ignored for many of the same reasons that made it good.

[uteanatinny]

It's a gem... :-)

[NessaFrank94]

@chrysanthos66 Is it Flyboys? Martin Henderson and James Franco are the main names there. If you haven't seen it you should, its one of my favorite:)

[RUNandGUN911]

thats PG rated I thought first it might be PG-13 not PG I mean there is action

[AquariaSpirit]

@RUNandGUN911 The rating doesn't matter. It's a fantastic movie.

[Pettetje]

Terrible, terrible movie. The music was one of the most pathetic parts, in the most simple scene you hear heroic music like Indiana Jones is escaping from death in a exciting moment but not in sky captaint, woman coming out of the car and entering building, incredible heroic music?? Sorry for the bad english

[TSimkins91]

LOL should have called it IRON GIANT : Strikes Back with Friends xD oh this movie looks awesome

[GamingTard]

hope they make anotherone !

[jakethetank99]

Couldn't tell if he was flying a P-40, a P-51 or a Spitfire(all really fucking awesome planes)

[KidFunkyFry15]

@jakethetank99 according to wikipedia, its a modified p-40

[71tankerman]

@jakethetank99 P-40

[ryider]

no wonder it made huge losses this trailer is unwatchable! Hell, the people of this world dont really like to go see trippy movies like this.

[Montross]

awww com on... fuck this guy who messed up the cgi otherwise it would have been an epic movie...

[thiagosats]

command & conquer RA 2 ??

[Desstromath]

this movie was terrible. Right after it, i went home and cried myself to sleep. I was so sorry i wasted 10$ on this.

[Zeanu]

@Desstromath You have no artistic soul, good sir.

[AquariaSpirit]

@Desstromath Really? This is my favorite movie. The only thing I did't like about it was the stupid ending.

[mikebeverly88]

this movie was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[lightfootrunner760]

the old dude looks like Yoda

[Atothepowerof3]

I think this movie has a very nice concept, but the CGI is just plain terrible, the characters look fuzzy, and the whole thing looks like a videogame (not in a bad way). If they where to make the movie now, it would look GREAT! but in whatever year they made it in, it looks bad.

[Lenne015]

@Atothepowerof3 Actually, the terrible fuzzy CGI was made on purpose. It's a pulp film, made in 2004 so it could look like that on purpose.

That's why I adored it :3

[IAmJakeDarkside]

Perfect example of the phrase " Its not always the income that judges the greatness of the movie. " or something like that. o.O

[healthyobsession801]

Dude, I loved this movie.

I don't know why no one else does. D:

[Humbertusmarius]

@healthyobsession801. That's because most people out there have never even seen the old black and white serials, such as Blackhawk and such. That is why they cannot appreciate such a wonderful film.

[nanohawk2]

red alert ?

[snowdjagha]

this film has a unique style!! i like it!

[shalomamigos]

Offblast!

[lpaillet]

i never understood this movie...

[Villesanti]

I liked the dieselpunk look of the movie but the plot is extremely weak :(

[moiriv415]

i thought it was alright.

[cdonon321]

OMG! Ive been trying to fine the title to this movie for the longest. THis is the one when they find the scientist dead towards the end??? This movie was GREAT!

[Humbertusmarius]

The problem with this movie is that it did not appeal to younger people. I loved it, my dad liked, but my kids and my wife were bored by it. A shame, all that great work in designing, modeling, lighting and compositing, not to mention great performances by the cast. Sky Captain showed us what the old 1930's serials would have looked like with quality special effects, nobody had done such a groundbreaking thing before. Peoply nowadays don't realize how difficult and time consuming CGI is.

[AwwCrap66]

I have the dvd,,,,right now it is a coaster for drinks

[EdwardCullensMayo]

i liked dis movie for the first 5 mins then i was like wow dis is boring!! xD paltrew is gorgeus tho

[IvO09]

ummm awsome trailer for an absolute shit movie... SUCH A BAD MOVIE!!! DO NOT WATCH

[ElleEstVivante]

Just had a total steampunk brain orgy.

[sorkin80]

@ElleEstVivante it's more dieselpunk than steampunk.

[lehah]

@ElleEstVivante ...this isn't remotely steampunk

[danitiwa]

So many great actors in one movie, It HAS to be good if they all signed up for it.

[attffgg]

this movie was gourgeous, smart and well excecuted...a real shame it was a flop.

[errolfan]

Any movie that hitches up a dirigible to the top of an Empire State building in the first five minutes is worth watching. This is a great film. Everything in this movie(other than the actors) is blue screen, for good reason. When you're creating a fantasy, what better way to do it. Who knew about the hidden capabilities of Curtiss P-40's, not to mention British flying carriers and submersible airplanes. I love the sepiatone colour of the film. Finally, for heaven sakes, don't forget the lenscap.

[Humbertusmarius]

@errolfan. You probably already know this, but when the Empire State building was first built it had a Zeppelin conning tower. You can see it in the original King Kong movie. I guess people back then thought airships would become widely used, in a world in which WWII never happened. The conning tower was removed long ago, and no airships ever docked on it, at least not in the real world.

[errolfan]

@Humbertusmarius But, they could.

[Humbertusmarius]

@errolfan. It would have been awesome. Hard to believe that a spectacular and horrible accident like the destruction of the Hindenburg would put an end to the giant airships. Many people thought that they would be back after the war, but nobody has ever had the guts to build them that big and offer luxury commercial flights in safer helium filled rigid airships. Maybe someday...

[errolfan]

@Humbertusmarius With our aging baby boomer population, this could be an idea whose time has come. Personally, I would love to fly anywhere in a rigid airship. Non-smoking in the hydrogen version.

[legodarknight101]

@Humbertusmarius Well look on the brightside, at least it became on of the most awesome album covers of all time.

[curriejean]

How is it that I'd never even heard of this film?

[13Knives1]

I don't understand the hate for this movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

[BeeDotSix]

@13Knives1 I liked it a lot visually, but would have been way stronger with a director who's worked with actors before. Jude Law plays 2 versions of the same guy here - and sometimes he's trying to figure out which.

[50zcarsman]

Disappointing film. They tried to include too much in it -- everything in the production designer's sketchbook, the good stuff and the rightly rejected alike. Terrible, wooden love story, with juvenile sexual tension/triangle between S.C. and the two underdeveloped (except physically, that is) female leads. Note to screenwriter: Lesso is moreo on the technologio.

[Tsarevna303]

This movie was awesome. It was simply marketed wrong. It's an epic kid's movie, as good as The Secret of NIMH or the Lion King. Only they portrayed it as an adult's movie, so adults arrived and became disappointed, and kids didn't go see it. If you watch it expecting an awesome film for kids, you'll like it.

[HanielGarcia]

trash trash trash

[GetFamousDesignsII]

Oscar for the worst Keying, compositing and color correction in a Hollywood movie ! ;-)

[Elementalsband]

Airships and Rayguns and bird-like planes! I sense steampunk! :D

[Zanllin]

this is a cool retrofuturism. I wish there were more like this, or at least some more good steampunk movies.

[MyHiDef]

hmmi didnt see that movies.. going to check it out

[BoundInChains]

theme dynamics and mechanics of box office hit and flop is beyond my comprehension. How can a "brilliant" film flop?

[MAY1EXPRES]

Thank you Kerry Conran, for your labor of love. I will definitely show this to my children and grand children. Thank you, theVIP for posting!.

[Ladyspock]

totally didnt know giovanni was in it!

must try to watch it again

i got bored the first time, but i wasnt concentrating terribly hard

[prototype40]

HATED This movie.

[Kryosys80]

@prototype40 go watch the the sport channel

[prototype40]

@Kryosys80 I HATED the Sports Channel xD

[thunderstruck38]

Great Movie , its kind of like either you get it or you dont much like Watchmen, Master and Commander which i also love, very creative entertaining movies worth watching several times and sadly probably no sequels . .

[HurfDurfAlive]

wow this looks just awful

[JamesChristian724]

Underrated. 

[Stablemable2]

This was a good movie but you have to appreciate its very retro style homage.

I imagine a cool sequel would have Polly and Frank working together to rescue Sky Captain from some kinda mythic creatures.

I liked it more the 2nd time watching....I wish it was a trilogy.

[quarqill]

The trailer was okay but the movie wasn't.

[skydogz1]

This is the best movie in many years ...I love every moment.

[southport97]

As bad as this movie was, it's still not as bad as BAttlefield Earth or Last Airbender.

[Hootshot112]

I hate it when people post "I wish they made more movies like that now" in EVERY MOVIES. This movie is what 7, 6 years old? Dammit YES there still good movies. hahah can't wait in ten years when people will says on a Slumdog Millionaire video "ah I wish there were more movies like that"

[BabyBopsDock91]

@Aqualeader5:

Yes it seems that those[crimson skies] never seem to wear off. I suppose more of a climatic day of clearer skies is due tomorrow?!?!

[Aqualeader5]

Makes me think of crimson skies

[BabyBopsDock91]

Yes it seems that those[crimson skies] never seem to wear off. I suppose more of a climatic day of clearer skies is due tomorrow?!?!
