Sky High

For the first film of the new month we have Sky High

First off, we have the story which has an era where superheroes are commonly known and accepted. William Stronghold, the son of the Commander and Jetstream, tries to find a balance between being a normal teenager and an extraordinary being. I thought the story was enjoyable in places with the inclusions of the typical high-school and superpower tropes thrown together.

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were the typical types you would see in a high-school based film however the types of powers used by some of the characters were unique and suited what the film was going for.

As for the film's visuals I thought in terms of the effects on the superpowers were very dated for the time the film was releases. The cinematography was lackluster with nothing much standing out. Now we have the action which was somewhat enjoyable and the way some of the powers were used were good. Moving onto the tone of the film which knew it wanted to be over the top and campy with it's style and that's what made it enjoyable. I thought the soundtrack of the film fit the time the film came out as well as for the setting of the film.

Overall, I thought this film was surprising but enjoyable for it's time although looking at it from now you can see where the weak aspects are being the effects and some of it's story being very cliche.

I give Sky High a score of 6/10
