Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)

New York city gets attacked by giant flying robots. A pilot and reporter team up to find out were they came from. They were created by kidnapped scientists who keep disappearing. This is a futuristic movie that takes place in the past.

I give this movie a 4 out of 5.
