I think that as far as the "current generation" not finding it as interesting as the usual plethoria of Hollywood garbage, doesn't bother me. Adults need some decent and stylistically clever movies to see. And where "Sky Captain" will succeed is in the initial cable pay-for-view and especially the DVD aftermarket. People forget that the older folks have a LOT MORE money than the little mall rats,
and while they don't rush out to see latest hyped 3D epic, they WILL buy the DVD's later for home viewing, the extra goodies, out takes, director interviews, etc. ---AND, because this movie probably had relatively low production costs, it will probably make money...
Plus, while the free game is no good (I haven't tried it honestly), I bet someone like Microsoft could turn it into a desktop PC or X-Box hit, and it will make LOTS of money there as well for the older folks who are looking for clever, stylistic games.
