"According to the Times, a new film made in Britain, of all places, has "revolutionised the way films are made".

On screen in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law are seen in Nepal, the Himalayas, New York and the Pacific Ocean. Yet they never ventured farther than Elstree Studios, in Hertfordshire, and played their roles on an empty stage, without a set, relying on their imaginations, like actors in the theatre.

It's the first film to be made entirely with "blue screen" technology, meaning that the scenery was digitally superimposed on the background."
