Full Movie Review
Genres: Steampunk, Action, Fantasy, War, Psychological, Drama, Tragic
Plot Summary
A young girl is institutionalized by her abusive stepfather. Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which will help her escape from the mental facility.
Original Opinion
I saw the trailer for this and new it was going to be awesome. I couldn't wait for it to be released. Apparently, this was suppose to be released before Watchman, but they delayed it until recently. My guess is that the special effects took a lot longer to do then they had originally thought.
Special Effects
They were so godly. There's a lot going on and it really gave you the feel of a graphic novel. All the different types of elements and worlds really look realistic (for the most part) and the sense of fantasy is seen throughout the movie. I also enjoyed how they mixed themes from different time periods.
Character Development
There's not a whole lot of character development. The only real noticeable change I saw was one of the bitchy girls ended up becoming nicer throughout the movie. Other than her, everyone else pretty much keeps the same personality.
Soundtrack
Probably one of the most amazing music I've heard in any movie. There's just something about the music that really makes it almost worth watching the movie just to hear the music. I would buy the soundtrack if I ever saw it for sale. Apparently the girl who played Baby Doll, also did the singing. I read somewhere on the net that she has her own band and they did all the music.
Original Media
I guess this is suppose to be based off of a Graphic Novel, but I couldn't find any information when I searched for it. I know the guy who did this also did Watchman, which was originally a graphic novel. Maybe he decided to just jump straight to doing a movie? I'm not entirely sure. If anyone has any information, please let me know!
Final Opinion
The movie is different. It's done in an unusual way. There's a few times where one might be lost on what's even going on, but in the end it all kinda makes sense. It's really good, but you have to keep in mind that almost the entire movie is what she is seeing and not what's really going on. If you keep that in mind, then you'll enjoy the movie a lot more. The soundtrack is amazing and probably one of the best I've heard for any movie. The special effects are just outstanding and the way everything is filmed was great. I highly recommend this movie. I know I'll be buying it the first chance I get.
