2000 Prius Battery Problem

Sucker Punch (2011)

almost a year ago, the posters of this movie caught my attention. Mixed images everything imaginable, from armor to combat battlefields of the Great War, to zombies, bombers, dragons ... all at the feet of a group of heroes armed with swords and guns. It was difficult to guess how would the director to fit all the elements and Sucker Punch not look like a simple display of special effects. (As always, I note that this review may contain spoilers.)

Baby Doll is committed to a psychiatric hospital casualty by her stepfather. If you can not escape within five days, will undergo a lobotomy. Their only hope is to draw a plan and get five objects to help him in his escape. To do so will resort to their partners in hospital and the fantastic world he has created in his imagination ...

Admittedly, all the classic fantasy elements are there: threatened with lobotomy, a living death, Baby Doll initiation must make his way through the fantasy world he imagines, to face all hazards and discovering that is stronger than she thinks. Your mentor will tell five objects that can help in their escape, an escape not only symbolizes freedom but also the long-awaited happiness for her and for her colleagues in the mental hospital. His nemesis, the warden Blue Jones, try to stop it. Snyder called the "path of the hero" and try to implement it, but unfortunately it is only in that, a mere attempt.

Sucker Punch starts strong with a first scene without dialogue in which we see what has been the psychiatric Baby Doll and the fate that awaits him. We can not help but feel sorry for her. It is a wrongly imprisoned woman, alone, helpless ... or maybe not. Faced with the distressing reality, quickly will be the fantasy take over. The asylum becomes an ornate brothel / nightclub and the different steps of their plan to escape is narrated as action scenes, a fantasy within another as is typical of Origin . The fight will take place in apocalyptic battleground, with demonic samurai, undead German soldiers steam-powered robots, orcs and dragons saliéndoles to step. What happens in the parallel dimension of his mind have an effect on reality. The formula is not new, either El Laberinto del Fauno as The Fall: The Dream of Alexandria resorted to it, but in styles different.

A simple view is the perfect approach steampunk zombie "of the First World War? Who can stick to that? The trouble is that the frantic action can not hide the lack of pace and the constant ups and downs of the film narrative. After an early scene in a Japanese temple that makes the hair stand on end, Snyder conforms to repeat the same formula over and over again: girls entering clean shot at each stage removing horde after horde of enemies to get more or less graceful fortune. After the battle of the trenches quality declines to the point that the recent clashes are between the boring and embarrassed with second-tier newly orcs of Mordor and androids escaped murderers that seem taken from a program of 3D effects balance.

Outside, the "reality" is increasingly slacking a bit more, with promises they never kept. Just as we never see the haunting dances with which Baby Doll hypnotizes everyone to allow their partners to steal objects, not the incredible escape plan becomes equal to the announcement. Not that he expected a feat of ingenuity characteristic of a heist film, with acrobatics calculated at the second, but one is left thinking, "so much suffering for this? Not

talk about the latest scenes with the tiresome voice-overs, where you can not help wondering why? I will not explain anything else to prevent damage to those who have not seen it yet, just say that the director does not understand what it means to empathize with a character, much less an epic. The final drafts of script is not to be anticlimactic, they have become downright depressing.

the end, the feeling remains that Snyder gave him the chance to ride one of his fantasies, getting into it, all your favorites. Pulp adventure film raised to the nth degree. To justify the orgy visual wrote a script that tried to replicate what he had learned from other authors, but due to lack of experience or narrative sense, it is wrong to assemble the elements and could not handle the characters. If it is true that there is action, explosions, girls wearing curves, monsters, shooting endless ... but the message is empty, without emotion, and the conclusion is disappointing.

If not for that first half hour in which it seems we're going to find something different and with personality (but then not met), or the approval would not shave. After much anticipation, it is a shame.
