A few flaws but overall a visual feast... fun film for a sick day. Virtually everything behind, around the actors was digitally created. Even the actors themselves were filmed orignally in color, converted to black and white then re-colorized. Unlike George Lucas's digital mess in Episodes 1-3, this one actually works most of the time.
How does a P-40 Warhawk fly through the canyons of Manhattan like it's an X-Wing? I'm not an aviation expert but... I think there was some wishful thinking in the way that plane banked through the turns... the physics seemed off. I know: critizing the physics of a flim that features Giant Robots! Nitpicky indeed!
Geek references - two I spotted (probably tons more):
Godzilla silhouette in a newspaper shot of Tokyo and in one of the undersea scenes, the sunken ship "Venture" - from the original 1933 King Kong.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
IMDB: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)
