The Incredibles
The Incredibles is a very funny film that takes the superhero concept to a whole new level, looking at what becomes of those with super-powers when they settle down to normal family life. Not only is it unique in terms of the superhero genre, it also feels very different from the majority of the CGI-animations out there; perhaps an indication of the industry’s new found confidence with the medium. There are some superb characters in this movie, but for me I really like Frozone and Edna ‘E’ Mode. Just as entertaining the second time round.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a pulp adventure film set in an alternate 1930s setting and given a retro style. An interesting idea, but perhaps a little too nostalgic. I got the feeling style came before substance with this film. It seemed devoid of emotion or any real action (strange for what seems to be an adventure sci-fi film). It basically left me cold.
