not sure about 40k.... seems more like if avatar met final fantasy and had a crack baby together. is an awsome looking movie though. ill be seeing it for sure.
I often wonder if hollywood (or where ever) spent the budget of crap movies, how many starving kids they could save.. for example "Grindhouse" couple o hundred thousand kids maybe.. food for thought

yup i am kinda done with the whole super powered angsty teen movies, no matter how nice the visuals are, and since the preveiws made it sound like all the fantasy stuff ( dragons, and nazi-samurai thingies ) are just her imaginary constructs....it just hits me as a waste of my time, even if it has women in schoolgirl outfits swinging katannas....meh
It being the lead girl is trying to escape an asylum, and the adventures in her head that take place as she tries to free herself.
Its an escapist fantasy. It is not claiming to make any sense. It is a person's imagination let loose.
Bam, said the lady!

Another chick weilding a sword and kicking ass movie.
Hey, at least she wasn't wearing a de rigueur skin-tight outfit while doing it!!
Wait... maybe it was a schoolgirl outfit... eh, perfect for manga-esque work!
This won't be one I'll care to see. I got over my date-less nights and pimples years ago.
But enough cynicism, don't see it as 40k although there was one individual who did remind me of some kind Imperial Guard trooper... looked kinda cool. The special effects look top-notch, at least in the trailer.

The only connection to 40k this movie has is that they both contain gratuitous violence and combat.
