We owe an apology to the nine-story monster tower. Plus, please don't play any more movies. Nausea.

A Chinese delve in an "Indiana Jones" and "Tomb Raider" similar universe. An entertaining enough movie for what it turned out to be, surely, but it just wasn't a particularly memorable movie.

I gobble up almost all Asian movies I get the chance to watch, and having read the synopsis for "Time Raiders", then I must admit that my interest was stirred and I was somewhat anxious to sit down and watch it.

However, while the movie does boast some pretty nice special effects and CGI effects, it just suffers from having a generic script and some equally generic characters. The storyline was rather simple, yet easy to follow; you just watch the action, and you're up to speed. However, "Time Raiders" didn't turn out to be anywhere near "Indiana Jones", nor "Tomb Raider" for that matter.

Boran Jing and Lu Han do perform well and manage to keep the movie being somewhat entertaining and watchable. But they alone just couldn't manage to lift up the movie from being less than mediocre.

"Time Raiders" is adequate enough entertainment for a single viewing if you have nothing better at hand to watch. However, don't get your hopes up too high, because this wasn't really much of a memorable experience. The movie does have some good enough action and some good enough adventure, but you are just left with sort of a hollow feeling in your gut once the movie is over. There was just something missing from the movie; that one all-important spice. There are far better Chinese movies available.

My rating of "Time Raiders" is a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

Maybe I have too much expectations, but I doubt this was a low budget film. It's 2016 and the CGI looks like it was from the 90s. The opening of the moving leading up to the middle of the movie was decent. Then there after, everything was just ridiculous. It's simply not worth the time to watch. Be prepared to be disappointed.

This is a great idea badly executed. What was supposed to be an action adventure ends up being downright silly and unbelievable. The film has some really great visuals and them some not so great. Some good photography and then some weird photography. The film had so much potential but it suffers from a poor script and actors that just doesn't seem determined enough. This played like a stage production and was not believable as a film. Whenever there was excitement, it was ruined by silly humor, deeming the scenes more slapstick than serious or suspenseful. Uhm, no, it had absolutely no suspense - even during scenes that should have been. The film was laughable at times, and I don't mean in a humorist way. It was just stupid. Oh, and a flute makes everything all right...oh whatever...

The film's climax looked more like a video game, became very weird, and with CGI-overload nothing was believable. By that time I had completely lost interest anyway and couldn't wait for someone or all of them to die so the film could end.

The book of Time Raiders is very popular in China. And so many young people love it very much. It have been made a film in 2015.

But it's very bad for Time Raiders 's fans. I have watched the film several days ago. I think it is a very bad thing. Fist, the major Man-actor called Zhang QiLing is a very silent man in the novel. No kidding, No smiles, No beer……

What we see in the movie is a funny man. The man we saw in the movie drunk beer and made joke to somebody else. I was watching it with full of enthusiasm, but i have slept during the process.

It seems a Love story between two men, not been a horrific story. The Man- actors are all very handsome, but I dislike it . Pretty faces wound not let audience to like the movie.
