The story begins with one of my buddies who survived basic going on to kill interesting people in interesting places. Most of my group managed to go from Texas to Korea to work on flight lines and for more training. Somewhere along the way, someone managed to wander far off the beaten path.

Alas, we&#39;re not quite over the rainbow, either. Not with &quot;Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.&quot;. More&#39;s the pity, because this groundbreaking sci-fi romp wants so desperately to fly high -- as high as writer-director Kerry Conran&#39;s imagination.
