Set in the dreary, CG-heightened 1950s, Sucker Punch is all about a female protagonist named Babydoll (Emily Browning, who replaced Amanda Seyfried in the role) who retreats into a fantasy globe to flee the hard truth: that in mere days, her evil stepdad could have her lobotomized.
In line with the trailer, Babydoll's "real" world is a dark and gloomy mental hospital in Brattleboro, Vermont, in which a Polish-accented Carla Gugino tells her in voice-over that she will escape into her fantasy planet. "What you are imagining today," she purrs, "that place can be as genuine as any pain."
With Gugino's encouragement, Babydoll promises to escape -- and he or she takes her hot fellow mentally insane patients (Abbie Cornish, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens) along with her into…
… a fantasy planet where the girls, interrupted are now living in a brothel as glamorous burlesque performers. You'd believe wouldn't be so negative, however they apparently should leave this fabulous brothel place to complete different motion movie tasks, built with large guns, B-52 bombers, fighting styles skills, samurai swords, and knives as sharp as their skirts are short. Through a number of tasked challenges, this rock band of deadly teenagers will ostensibly earn some type of "freedom" -- and now we the crowd is going to be around the receiving end of some cinematic sucker punch we never saw coming.
Somewhere in this awesomeness, you will see musical numbers. Elaborate, glitzy, cabaret-style musical numbers serving up song and dance alongside everything that motion and killing. Stylized trench warfare and burlesque -- two excellent tastes that taste great together?
Let's take particular notice on the characters of Sucker Punch, as dreamily (or nightmarishly?) conceptualized by photographer Clay Enos in the initial batch of character posters. Every individual piece depicts another Sucker Punch lady and, presumably, her respective signature outfit and weapons of choice -- combined with the specific setting that may prove significant on her in the film.
Emily Browning as Babydoll can be a schoolgirl vision in blonde pigtails and a sassy stare who wields a pistol in one hand plus a samurai sword in the other. Snow falls around her as she stands facing a pagoda, suggesting her huge challenge will come fighting the huge samurais we view within the trailer.
Abbie Cornish's Sweetpea evokes medieval maiden by having an edge -- a pantless, armored dragon slayer shown with a castle in private.
Amber, played by Jamie Chung, seems to be a WWII-era fly gal who likes lollipops, wears chaps, maybe flies a B-52 bomber and fights using a huge robot. A robot with a bunny face.
Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie is not blonde. She does, however, wear a slick, slightly much more updated outfit that somewhat resembles a ninja cowgirl. And the gun. She has a large, huge gun. One thing here's clear: Hudgens is saying way too long to her High school Musical days.
Jena Malone's Rocket is harder to learn, but she does hold a knife at her side, which promises stabby action. Also, fishnets. Her scene takes place on an alien planet having a helicopter.
