Sky Pirates is a nice work-in-progess. The title of the movie should be revised; as it is, it seems more uncomfortably dramatic. The dialogue was fair, although some grammatical errors were obvious, though they could work for a character. I would have like to see the relationship between Sarah and Jack develop more. They seemed to fall in love in a matter of days, and Sarah's change of emotion was rather sudden. The writers could have played up more the connection to their fathers' stories, etc. This was a problem I had with the movie, Thor, in which the leads fell in love too much too quickly.Additionally, althoughe idea of espionage and pirates was a draw-in, parts of the plot were reminiscent of ideas from the recent Captain America movie,, set in a similar time period after America "officially" joined the war, where a German Nazi leader was trying to obtain power from a mythical object that will help him rule the world. There could be a more unique aspect. I also liked the addition of the Pygmy's and the stereotypical "black sidekick", although, even though I understand it goes with the time period, it could raise controversy. It was nice that he gained respect. Overall I would have liked more backstory, but I understand that this is a rough draft, and it can still be developed. The idea of Atlantis.is also fascinating, and it seemed like there was a hint at a second movie to incorporate more of it, but it might be an idea to leave the viewed more interested in what the people of.Atlantis.left behind and get the first move rolling before making loans for another. It sparked my interest at.the mention of the Hindenburg sister ship, but it never went further than that. I liked Jack Danger, and I like that his dialogue was consistent. His role seemed the most thought-out. His emotions seemed to change rapidly even in serious situations, but they can be better conveyed with real actors, I'm sure. As for the side characters, the drunken pilot seemed typical, and I would have liked to have seen something trademark about him. The leader of the Marines was a bit confusing. Half the time I was not sure if he was going to betray the Americans or what. He seemed ambiguous to me. As far as historical content goes, according to other reviews there are discrepancies, and although I was ignorant of them myself it would raise the quality of the movie by a lot to be accurate in the nonfictional informations. Biggest weakness is the level of detail. It would have been much more satisfactory if it had been more developed. Strength of the film so far is, I would say, the concept; I was a little turned off by some things, but yet the story drew me in. I couldn't put my tablet down.

Thank you very much for the pleasurable movie, and I hope it's no trouble to put up with my random sequence flow (I typed it as I recalled it) and the extra commas and periods (my tablet wouldn't let me go back and delete them). I hope to see Amazon's Sky Pirates soar into local movie theaters everywhere.
