Saw that movie last night and spotted the Hallicrfters. I love the look they gave the 'sets', as I'm a fan of German Expressionist films (think Metropolis).
They are careful to mix up the dates in the film. They refer to WW I being 30 years earlier, however there's an extremely brief closeup of Polly's charm bracelet showing the obverse side of a US cent coin with the Lincoln memorial on it. That dates the coin to >1958. That cannot have been an error.
Jude Law just gets better and better. I first saw him in Gattaca, with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. Another Sci Fi film with a neat look, although in the opposite direction chronologically. That film, rather than reconstructing the past with computer animation as Sky Cap does, created an image of the future using actual buildings, cars and machines of today, due to financial constraints. It works.
