    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Each of the lead girls had to undergo strict physical training which involved doing dead-lifts up to 96 kilograms (about 211 lbs.) several months before shooting. Vanessa Hudgens called that period "tormenting" and she broke down several times. In scenes where she's seen crying, she actually brought out moments from those sessions.
    • Goofs
      In the dressing room when Sweet Pea, Rocket, and Blondie talk about not helping Babydoll, their movements don't match their mirror images; doubles are being used so the camera can move behind them without being reflected. - NOTE This is not a revealing mistake. In that scene, those mirrors are attached to the wall. There's no physical way the camera could have rotated around those mirrors. The director is doing this to alert the viewer they are inside another reality (baby dolls)
    • Quotes

      Sweet Pea: And finally this question, the mystery of whose story it will be. Of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad? Lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it, that does all of these things?

      Sweet Pea: Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we will never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free... It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!

    • Crazy credits
      The Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures logos appear on a stage curtain, with the curtain rising to reveal each logo. A brief narrative precedes the Warner Bros logo appearing.
    • Alternate versions
      There is an extended cut that is 18 minutes longer than the theatrical cut only available on Blu-ray.

    6/10
    Underrated...somewhat
    Really it's 6-1/2 if truth be told, but not sarcastically. I am a "sucker" for action/fantasy and though this has those disjointed over the top fantasy sequences it still works because this is after all an asylum and the protagonist has been tortured by events past and now present into forsaking reality. She does the best she can while immersing us with stunning visuals and and a good soundtrack. It even starts to make sense from an unreal point of view; and that reality distancing style of Zack Snyder's animation helps. Despite it's obvious commercial taint, I liked it!

    Recommended for gamers, action/fantasy appetites and sexy kick-ass character lovers.
