From Film Hobbit's review of LXG:

The League begins on a strong note, dazzling the viewer with an array of sumptuous production design, clean visual-effects, and strong mood lighting to set the tone for this unique tale. The most curious thing is how much it reminded me of Wild Wild West. Both films use the technological ideas of Jules Verne to move the story forward by placing advanced mechanisms such as automobiles, submarines, rockets, and bulletproof vests in the late 1890s and making them clunky yet so advanced. Both also use ongoing political turmoil as a backdrop to the villains' plot.
