Is this the one where the villian is played from specially cut and enhanced clips of Sir Lawrence Oliveir?

The flick looks cool. I'm going to wait until it comes out on DVD--in 6 months.

I rather liked Crimson Skies, save for the fact that it always crashed my PC!
If the movie gets its own theme song, rather than using the theme from Stargate, I may just give it a rent when it comes out on DVD. I haven't been to a first run movie in 5 years, as my young lady always falls asleep during opening credits, and does a passable imitation of an F-18 spooling up...

The producer is a client of mine, I knew about this film from years ago, been to their animation farm a few times and helped them with some IT stuff off and on. For those who care (Mac users love to point out Macs used in movies and shit, PC users couldn't care less) they used tons of Macs to do the animation, and this movie transformed a die hard PC user (Jon Avnet) into a die hard Mac user
 . I hope it does well for him. Go see this movie and help my pocket book a little

Cool - The first day of sixth grade Kerry was talking about making movies. I remember coming home on leave and seeing his Macintosh when they first came out in the mid 80's. He was making a film with CG animation in college long before Who Framed Roger Rabbit was announced. The first hint I got of this was in 93 when he started describing what he planned to do. Kerry and his brother were always super talented. It is good to see it finally released. |

The trailer I saw made it look kind of retro. My gut tells me it is going to be a stinker. I'll wait till one of you post a review. I have gotten good advice here the last couple of months on what to avoid.

Famous scientists around the world have mysteriously disappeared and Chronicle reporter Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) along with ace aviator Sky Captain (Jude Law) are on the investigation. Risking their lives as they travel to exotic places around world, can the fearless duo stop Dr. Totenkopf, the evil mastermind behind a plot to destroy the earth? Aided by Franky Cook (Angelina Jolie), commander of an all-female amphibious squadron, and technical genius Dex (Giovanni Ribisi), Polly and Sky Captain may be our planet’s only hope.

Go to Best buy and get a FREE Sky Captain trailer DVD....while you are there you can get Resident Evil Delux Version (w/ a ticket for RE Apocolypse) for $14.99 (or you need to make them match Circuit City price of $12.99)

I bet it's going to do well in the box office, the producer (Jon Avnet) has done many films that you all will remember, among them, Risky Business, Fried Green Tomatoes, Mighty Ducks, Boomtown. I'm going to their office tomorrow, they're selling off the computer equipment used in the movie, probably will pick up a server or switch

Seen lots of trailers on tv for it. Everytime I see one I have 2 conflicting reactions. One is that it is really cool looking, and the other is that it looks downright retarded. Haven't decided which one wins out yet.

What I heard was that the world in the movie is based on things shown at the world fair from sometime in the early 20th century. That's why it looks retro.

It's because it was based on the game "Crimson Skies", which is based on films and fantasy of the mid to late 1930s.

It sure does! I like Crimson Skies. Awesome little game. And the movie looks great! I've been waiting a while for this one. Good luck to your friend QCMGR. The movie will get my money, and I'm sure I won't be the only one to go see it. |

I read the book when my wife picked it up at the library. Yup, it blends fantasy and the aerospace fascination of the 1930's. Similar in genre to say "The Rocketeers".
Since I know the whole plot and how it ends, I suppose I won't bother to see it. |

Thanks. He is a good guy I hope it does well. It is just kind of funny to hear interviews with the actors and realizing they are talking about the same guy that used to do magic shows at his church. |

I saw it Tues night with my 7 year old step daughter. She liked it. It had some cool parts. Its mostly off the charts on the cheese factor. Gwynyth Paltrow sucked and was totally not pulling off her part. Jude Law was ok. Angelina was pretty damn cool but was only in a small part. I won't give anything away unless you want me too. I am not very picky when it comes to movies but this one wasnt very good. Special effects were pretty good but the goofy lighting to make it look like an old timey movie were overdone. I really don't know what to think about it.
 BTW I got a free pass to the preview. If I had paid $7-8 a head to see it I would have been disappointed. |

I called his house last week and he did not answer. Unfortunately, it has been that way for ten years. He is one of those guys that you do not hear from for a long time then suddenly calls out of the blue. (When I finally do hear from him I will see what I can do  )
