Or to be more precise, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorow. It's made like the old sci-fi serials from the 40's and 50's and in fact it's set around 1939. To create an old world feel the movie is almost entirely CG, except for the main actors. It's cliched, the plot's totally shallow, it's full of cheap deus ex machinas and it coulnd't be a better movie! Who needs things like a complex plot or deep characters when you can have giant robots attacking a 1939 New York City or huge explosions all over the place and a doom's day device? Its an awesome movie, the CG looks great [although in some places you can easily tell it's CG], and the symphonic soundtrack sounds like it was ripped straight out of an old Buck Roger's movie. If there ever was a movie that you just had to see in the theater's for the sheer amount of bass rumbling this is it. So go watch it!
