Here
is the sad truth about Sky Captain. Most of the
time I go to movies looking for “Spiritual” themes.
Most of the time I am able to get them and in the process, hopefully
enjoy the movie. Then there are other times that I go, and just
end up enjoying the movie. Let me make something perfectly clear,
I am okay with that, even though that is not always my intent. Sky
Captain and the World of Tomorrow was a movie that I just
simply enjoyed. I enjoyed the characters, I enjoyed the reflection
of the old television and movie serials, I enjoyed the innovative
style of making the movie, and I enjoyed the bag of popcorn and
diet Dr. Pepper. I enjoyed seeing my son smile and holding my wife’s
hand. For all of those reasons I also enjoy that I didn’t
have to think to deeply about this movie. I don’t know if
that was the intent and am frankly kind of glad of it. Truth be
told, sometimes I think I look too hard at trying to figure out
Spiritual things in a movie when I don’t have to. Sometimes,
going just to have fun is enough and this is a movie I simply had
fun at.

Perhaps
the moral of the story is that God loves us and hates sin. Perhaps
the parallel is that God doesn’t like to see man destroying
himself any more than Mr. Dead Head did. But rather than recreating
a genetically altered, sinless Adam and Eve, God gave the world a
second chance through his promises; the promise of a Messiah who would
save man from his sin, the promise of a new heaven and a new earth,
and the promises of the Holy Spirit to help guide us through this
crazy life. I loved Sky Captain and the World of
Tomorrow. I can’t wait to see it again and pick up all of the
tiny references, jokes, and parallels that I missed the first time!
