Not much of a spoiler -- the first image you see is her lying on the ground, bloodied. Then they make it obvious that this is a future event, so what do you expect?

EDIT: I liked it, but only mildly. I don't really see why all the reviewers seem to be so head-over-heels for it. Also, I found the subtitles slightly irritating -- I don't mind them in movies where there's not a lot to see, but it's frustrating when a film with great visual effects and scenery distracts you with written dialog so you aren't as able to enjoy the view. Of course, I was sitting pretty close; I probably wouldn't have minded as much from the back row.

It was a good movie, nothing that I was expecting, and nothing like anything I've seen before.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you're just not sophisticated enough to grasp the intricacy of the story?

It wasn't that challenging a film either.

'wasn't that challenging of a film'. It was dirt simple. No it's not even possible that i couldn't grasp the 'intricacy' of the film, it had no intricacies.

yea, my friend liked it, but I too thought it was silly. The ending was cliche -- saw it coming from a mile away. The characters were caricatures. There were no real substance to the film.

I guess the only good thing were the costumes and the special effects...
