After New York City receives a series of attacks from giant flying robots, a reporter teams up with a pilot in search of their origin, as well as the reason for the disappearances of famous scientists around the world.
On Sundays, my family usually has a movie afternoon. Most of the time, we watch some kind of superhero movie (usually a Marvel comics one), so it took a little bit of convincing to get my boys to want to watch this one. The DVD cover doesn't look like a regular superhero flick, but I finally convinced them that this was about superheroes, just a little different. Anyway, not that we've got that bit of background out of the way, on to my review.
I love this movie. It was very stylized--it felt like I was watching a movie from the 30's or 40's. The plot and characters could have been a little more developed. The movie could have been longer. But what was there was highly enjoyable. There was humor, action, romance, and fun. It was a good Sunday family movie. I rate it 5 out of 5.

I think I've tried to watch this one about three times... and I was bored and couldn't finish it. ;) That's what makes the world go 'round, I guess.
I am shocked, SHOCKED, that we don't have the same movie taste on this one. We match exactly in every other area.
I KNOW! This is like the first time we haven't agreed on a movie! It's like the end of the world or something! ;)
