That actually raises my faith in its possibilities a bit. I have more faith in original IPs catching my interest than comic inspired ideas. But it still looks like they might be marrying visuals. Not that I require some deep or convoluted plot to be happy. It could be like Donnie Darko and just a mindsmurfy trip into someone's psyche, as long as its well crafted at least, I'd probably be happy
It reminded me of Gothika. I do enjoy that movie. Of course, it's a lot more action packed than Gothika is...also more fun looking.
I've always loved the decent into the darkness of a mind to discover some one else's cob webs and spiders...You put it epically. Thanks for sharing.Quote:

The more I think about it, the less it's like Gothika...
Hmph, but something about it still reminded me of it.
The 90s ended. Or we could just blame the popularity spurt of anime in the United States.Quote:

Aside from the hints of montherly nature, a man could have just as easily portrayed those roles. Those are pretty gender-neutral female heroes. Now we have counter-balances to testosterone heroes found in things like The Expendibles, we get uh .... wait, I'm not sure this is actually a valid thesis to run with
I saw the trailer for it when I was at GameStop of all places yesterday.
It looks awesome.
I'll be seeing it alone. But I'll be seeing it!:)
I'll be seeing it even though all the reviews are saying it's terrible.
Not sure what exactly they're saying, but it sadly doesn't surprise me. It did look like it was all style. I didn't expect much substance..Quote:

Screw reviews, I've disagreed more often than not with reviews. Most reviews love to eat up and digest upon anticipation and glory...
"An epic action fantasy with scantily-clothed young women as warriors bringing mayhem to zombies and dragons."
...This is supposedly a bad review, but I think it made me want to go see this movie even more.
"Dour and pretentious to the point of pain."
...Aww come on!
"It's bloody but without menstrual awareness; just as its musical pretext neglects to express genuine feminine trauma or yearning."
...Ouch!

Whatevs, I still want to see it. As stated above, we all know that this movie is going to be terrible, but we'll go see it anyway. Because let's face it: most of us, especially those on this particular forum, are attracted to women in skimpy clothing, zombies, and dragons. It's a guilty pleasure.
Doll face speaks wisdom beyond his years.
Oh no you did NOT spirit! I outta Sucker Punch you.
ME FEMALE.
I hate zombies and dragons. And if I wanted to see women in skimpy clothing, that's what the internet is for.Quote:
