I can't recommend this movie highly enough, particularly since it looks ridiculous and was generally panned - Sucker Punch.?

It's a collaboration between my favorite authors and philosophers - Max, Hitchens, Rand, Nietzsche, and Stephen Donaldson. I don't want to say more now, because like The Ego, the development and experience of the work deliver the payload, not some pedantic description of it. Just watch, and pay attention. And fight. ;)

I enjoy and prefer a hearty dose of pontification in the mix. Doesn't
mean I have to agree with it.
