I don't think the plot is a focus, from what it looks like it's a lucid, fantasy adventure.
As for the visuals I think they are effective for representing that this is lucid, dream like, fantasy. And I might say males are more drawn to this than females. Because males are apparently more visual in nature and not only is the cast full of attractive females but the movie has stunning visuals.
Of course, there are exceptions, as noted on this forum already.
As a comic book which uses vivid animations to tell the story I think there is a predisposition towards telling the story that way. Though, I'm not a Sucker Punch mythos fan. I am not aware if there's novels, with in depth story lines. Likewise, I never really looked through a Sucker Punch comic book before.
Aha, a moments search dragged this up.
I don't see anything wrong treating this material in this way, very visual and vivid as it's meant to be that way.Originally Posted by Official web site of film
I think the problem here may be that Hollywood may set out to make one or the other, visual or a movie with a great plot. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just if it suits the film or not in my opinion. You might be wrong, off base, if you criticize a fantasy movie for not having enough plot when it's meant to be a little disjointed and flighty.
Just watched the trailer, it's full of alpha waves more than anything else. I don't see any reason to see it differently and look at it with theta waves or anything.
If you have expectations, without reading the comics then that's your fault.
And, maybe you have. For all I know though, comic readers think it looks faithful. I wouldn't know.
The genres present in this film, from the images/ trailer are pretty obvious. Action, fantasy, suspense, psychological thriller (FAVORITE), and maybe a few more...I sort of know what I want to see and it seems to have it offered.
I read comics, collect them, but I am not a Sucker Punch fan. I know mostly generic comics.
