Sucker Punch

This weekend my boyfriend and I took to the IMAX to see Sucker Punch. Sucker Punch is one of those stylistic movies in the vein of Sin City or 300.

The cinematography was amazing (or maybe I should say the graphic designers that created the cinematography were amazing).

The action and fight scenes were awesome. My boyfriend actually had to explain one of the fight scene genres of "Steampunk." I also looked up Steampunk on Wikipedia and this is what I got: Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history.

Back to Sucker Punch, you don't see this movie for the script, I would say it is more like seeing a work of art unfold than watching a movie. The storyline is not for kids. It involves child molestation, murder, rape (alluded to, not actual) and teenage girls dressed way beyond their maturity level (even though most of the girls in the movie are 22-28 years old). It was good, and to be honest, you do need to see it on the big screen.
