Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow, (por ahora solo en ingles) es un buen libro, sin más pretención que divertir. Tiene todo el estilo de los Pulps de los 30's y 40's y las imagenes que trasmite nos remontan a las portadas de estas mismas. Desde la metropolis de Neva York, hasta las profundidades del oceano, pasando por los Himalayas y una isla olvidada por el tiempo, Sky Captain cumple con lo que promete.

Start by marking Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow as Want to Read: Want to Read savin. ant to Read. I bet The World of Tomorrow would feel more interesting and convincing in the film format, in which cinematography and stunning animation can cover for a far-too-ordinary plot and rather stereotypical characters. I watched this movie ages ago and felt like picking up the book since it was laying around for ages, begging to be read! It made me want to watch the movie again!

A novelization version of the upcoming film, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" is set in 1939 New York City. The story follows Lois Lane-like reporter Polly Perkins, who's always looking for the latest scoop, as she covers the disappearances of many famed German scientists. After an interesting meeting with a stranger, who claims he's "the only one left" and leaves Polly with just a name (Totenkopf- German for "Death's Head") and a blueprint, the city falls under attack by giant trampling robots, but the day is saved when Sky Captain and the Flying Legion enter the scene and ward them off. Polly, naturally determined to find out what's going on, teams up with Sky Captain as they both fly around the world to search for Totenkopf, aided along the way by Sky Captain's right-hand man Dex and old-time friend Captain Francesca "Franky" Cook.
As I'm anticipating this film very much, my thoughts on the book may be a bit biased, but I found it very entertaining and simply fun to read. It probably could have been written a bit better, though we're not asking for the next Lord of the Rings, here.
To appreciate it fully, you need to read this in the right state of mind. As a homage to the old and slightly cheesy "LOOK! UP IN THE SKY!" types of sci-fi serials of the 1930s and 40s, the storyline is obviously going to be full of cliches and missing backstory, and might even seem a bit ridiculous at times. It's these kinds of thing that you just have to accept and move along with and let your imagination do the rest.

If you like pulp, camp, sci-fi, or just a good (and predictable) classic mystery, (or even if the film just interests you), you may want to try this book out.
As for the film, see you in September!

I saw the film at a screening in Plano, TX about 3 or 4 weeks ago. For the first 10-15 minutes I thought that it might fall apart as it just seemed a little too "corny". However, once you realize, and accept, that the characters take things seriously, there's no irony and treat it like a old-style comic adventure it really takes of and was a fun Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon/Wizard of Oz type film from there on out. My favorite "fun" film of the year by a longshot. I heard Roper on Ebert & Roper complain about Angelina Jolie's "bad British accent". When I was watching I thought she sounded just like all the old English soldiers in films like "The Four Feathers" or "The Charge of the Light Brigade". She sounded over the top becuase that's how she was SUPPOSED to sound Richard! Anyway her role isn't much more than a cameo. A great looking film that also is very entertaining.

El libro, aunque de encargo, esta bien escrito y es bastante recomendable... eso si. Sugiero que lean el libro antes de ver la película. No te arriesges a no encontrar el mismo nivel de calidad. Además, siempre son buenos los pre-estrenos, más cuando tu los produces en tu imaginacion.

I can't wait for the movie to come out! I was afraid that this mostly computer generated film would fall short story wise, but now I'm even more excited after reading the book. See you in line September 17th!
