Good Premise, bad execution

Rating: 2/10 (6 April 2011)

Going in, I knew that the main character was going into a fantasy world from the previews. I liked the concept. The problem I had was the execution. The thing that bugged me most was the "double" fantasy. By this, I mean, she went into a fantasy world, then went into another. If they stayed with reality, then went into the fantasy fighting scenes, I would have liked the film. Leaving the theater, I wasn't sure what actually happened in reality. Maybe that was the intent, but it didn't work for me. The second thing that bugged me was the weapons. It is 1955. Even in a fantasy world, you wouldn't have the weapons that would not be invented in another 40 plus years. Even futuristic comic books didn't have these weapons. As far as the acting goes, I was not as disappointed as others have been. The main character killed her sister. Something that would leave anybody in a zombie state. My main question leaving the theater.... Were those 3 girls killed, or was it fantasy?
