I'm looking forward to it as well. Though at 34 years old, I'm reaching the point where I shouldn't really be going to see films starring scantily clad young girls. This will be the very definition of guilty pleasure

If creepy old men like us don't go to see this kind of movie what's left? Boys who won't really appreciate a pigtailed blonde in a japanese schoolgirl uniform and a katana fighting a 20 foot tall samurai wielding what surely must be a GAU-8?
Seriously, they wouldn't appreciate it properly.

Thats an excellent point.

I am going to see it, but I am bothered by a few things:
Spoiler:
I don't like that it is all in her head. I really wish the realm portrayed in the movie was presented as a real world. I would rather have the option to suspend disbelief with all the dragons, samurai robots, etc. than know that it is all in her head from the start. Kind of ruins it for me.
Man they get great make up and hair people in lock up. I see enough half naked women every day, so I'll wait for something good to come along.

Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole

Agreed. If nothing really happens to the protagonists who cares? That was my problem with Inception (plus it bored me).

Depends how they treat the subject. If it creates psychological tensions that puts her in danger then fine. Is a good poin, Lord S and Fraz. It just becomes tricksy cgi candy.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation

I suspect that will be left to the imagination of the viewer, which kind of relects the theme of the film when you think about it (you know, fantasising )
It would be pretty bad for suspension of disbelief in an action movie if nothing bad could happen to the protagonists, so to be honest I don't think they would do that....
Hmmm... I think they will put something in there that if they die in there dreams they will die in real life, or maybe wake up lobotomised or insane or something.
It looks damn cool

I work next to a strip club. OT, I demand good movies, video games and books. Not 60's era "Girl in the gold boots" type films. If a guy wants to look at hot chicks for two hours I know a place. I demand good films and good female actors.

Looking at trailer 3, it appears that their fantasy runs parallel to their real lives. So when the big samurai robot with assault cannon crashes through the door, it's actually the manager/head therapist of the lunatic asylum bursting into their room.

I just wanna see the 20ft tall samurai with an auto-cannon...
And it is a Science-fiction action movie that references a heap of gak I like (WWII, Martial Arts, Robots, Samurai etc, etc)
The fact that it has dolled up chicks is cool but of little consequence IMO ...

I get that things happen in the movie. Her imagination is covering up real events. (I guess this isn't a spoiler since it shows all this in the preview). I think scenes like the giant robot is actually her fighting an orderly. It just seems so weird. I would rather it be revealed at the very end or something. Actually I want a movie like this that is portrayed as real. I don't care for mental dragons...
I think there will be a point to it all. She is empowering herself through her imagination and is actually doing stuff to get out of the hospital. The guy that is telling her to gather stuff could be a psychiatrist that is trying to help her. Dragons are guards, etc.
But regardless I would rather the movie be something like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Imagine if 300 was revealed to be a guy in a mental hospital fighting orderlys. That would be weird. I am still going to watch it this Friday though...

Lol! Maybe I came across the wrong way.
The hot female hero's are not a bad thing but are not the only reason to go see a film is what I meant
20ft dude in Armour with a really big gun. 40K ANYBODY !!!

I saw the preview and I thought something like this:
complete stream of consciousness here, forgive the jumping around...
dudes.
not just dudes. dudes who like comics
not just dudes who like comics, but dudes who play video games about comics about dudes who play video games ONLINE about online comics that may or may not include leather chicks with gunsa and swords but most likely may, but if not, they hired awesome video game graphic dudes to make the badguys who were - like totally evil looking just like the end-of-the-level-guy in any decent video game...
but even better... dudes who like comics about video games that they play enough online and feel trapped in the real world unable to be as awesome as they want to be with the U/U/D/D/L/R/L/R/B/A/B/A/Sel/St That they were the first of their friends to figure out, BUT NONE OF THE GIRLS LIKE THEM despite how awesome they were in the eyes of their adoring 3rd grade graphic engine worshippers for figuring that out.
Dudes like video games with ninjas and swords and stuff
dudes like video games with giant killer robots
dudes who like video games like hot chicks in pushup 'armor'
dudes
dudes dont care about plot, as long as there is an explaination why you need to find the red key, or kill the red guys more than they kill all the blue guys, thats a good enough plot right? any excuse to use my doublemultiplasmaswordshootercannon and hear the roar of my subwoofer - especially if it is something 'deep' like a zen master' or something giving you the lesson you need to attain level 9 and get more hit points and stuff so lara croft will finaly want to date you because you were tough enough to kill the end of the level guy by the end of the movie.
hey why dont we make a movie of this... but make the hero the chick that all these dorks think they can get that girl because she IS the hero... she's just like them... she is on all fours scrubbing floors (evidently video game plots forgot the timeline of the invention of swipper sweepers and such) for a boss she hates.. she is just like them... but she's a hot chick! all she needed was that samurai tutor, magical sword, talking animal sidekick, giant robot and every other nerd cliche in the world, and she could be a HERO! she just has to FIGHT! (to level 8 or something, i dunno levels are an abstract concept).
I give it a couple months before a movie based video game sells more in rentals than the blu ray.
So in short I think this is a work of genius tailoring a film to an audience. I was also a big fan of Machete and Deathproof if that puts my babble into perspective at all.
@ yeenoghu - I get where you're coming from, but I think the film should be give some kudos for inventing it's own background, rather than being a rip off of some comic or a remake of a previous film. Ok, none of the ideas are desperately original, but the design of the film looks sort of new and is pretty awe inspiring. That's pretty rare these day IMHO.
I've been waiting for this ever since Den Of Geek dropped the teaser trailer a few months back. I mean, it's ZACK SNYDER we're talking about. Raise your hand if you didn't like 300 or Watchmen...
(I see a few hands, I'm just going to assume those are for Watchmen )
And seeing as my wife is almost as excited about SP as I am, I won't feel guilty enjoying some of the more feminine eye candy on screen.
Plus, y'know, dragons and mechs and samurai, c'mon.

In that foulest of ages, this ship had hung in the skies above Holy Terra as the world's atmosphere burned. Its name was Ashallius S'Veyval, in a dead language, from a dead world. In Imperial Gothic, it translated loosely as Echo Of Damnation.
Thank Heaven! The crisis --The danger, is past, and the lingering illness is over at last --, and the fever called "Living" is conquered at last.
