You will be Unprepared

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2011)

When i saw the previews for this movie, i thought that it might not be worth spending money, or time, for; i was WAY wrong. Zack Snyder has finally come out with an original film from his own mind about a girl, Babydoll, who is placed in a mental asylum by her wicked stepfather to be lobotomized, but the doctor won't be there until five days later. So, in order to keep herself sane and to forget about the 'torture' done to her by the orderlies, Babydoll befriends four other girls who help her try to escape from the asylum before the High Roller (doctor) gets there.
People are probably hating this movie because they don't understand the transition from asylum to dance studio to epic combat sequences. The dance studio that Babydoll pictures herself in is the asylum, just in a much nicer manner, and when she dances, she's actually being "confronted" by Blue (Oscar Isaac) in the real world/asylum. The combat sequences that are shown to the audience when she supposedly dances is her internal conflict to stay alive and to fight the horrors that Blue acts upon her. The movie overall is a true spectacle, with incredible visuals, wonderful acting, and a compelling story that grips you to your seat as you wait to find out what happens after each fantasy sequence. This is a great movie, and people should have an open mind when watching it, or look at all the details and figure out the story through the characters. Either way, this movie will always be a favorite for me.
8/10 Stars
