ZOMG. Fanboy overload: school girls with magic swords, mecha armor and helicopters vs. steam punk zombie Nazis with zeppelins, dragons, samurais, cyborgs, orcs and biplanes in space. No nerd stone unturned. I feel like I just got off the set for a sci-fi themed bukkake.

If only it wasn't a piece of  in terms of plot, they would have really had something here. Although I will give the film bonus points for actively telling fans to go fuck themselves while giving them exactly what they want. The metafiction aspects, and multi-tiered reality levels may not be as brain-boning as Inception, but there's something to think about there if you dig for it. It's a commentary on the things we use to escape our own brutal, horrible realities every day, namely films like this. Babydoll (nice subtle name) is a stand in for consumers of media in general. And her hypnotic dancing, which is an analogy for the "dancing" of the type of fight choreography we go to see in action sci fi, is a critique of the ways we're all rendered awestruck by filmed violence. Or maybe the appeal is, just, you know, school girl stripper ninjas ftw.
