Giving this a 8/ 10

This film from China is nothing short of magnificent in looks and story, although it does get a little lost a bit, just like a another Chinese animated film that came out earlier this year, 'The Storm'. I saw the trailer for this, must be 3 years ago, so I was looking forward to it, and it does not disappoint.

Xiaopeng Tian and Fabiola Stevenson, have given us really one of the best looking films out there, let alone animated film of the year., again another film for IMAX, if you can catch it. The story of a girls misfortunes of good and bad luck, depending on your point of view, and the dubbed version which I saw is very good. You really do get some great characters in this film, and some of the best production design on an animated film for a while, such vivid colours and music.

The only flaw is the narrative does lose it's self a bit, which is a shame, otherwise this would be an 8.5 rated film, but 8 is very good indeed, and I am seeing it again, The films ending really makes it worth the watch, a real good pay off. Don't get much animation from China, so go see this.

Actually, I want to give 6 points, and the extra 1 point is for the efforts of Chinese anime.

The picture is very gorgeous, colorful, and made with a great sense of quality. It can be considered a successful creation of a dreamy atmosphere. But sometimes it can overwhelm the theme characters, and made it confused.

The story was combination of Chinese and Western elements. I can see "Spirited Away", Dementor in "Harry Potter" and the elements of Stephen Chow's movie. It should be a story of self-redemption. She broke free from the shackles of depression in her own dreams. But in my opinion, she still needs external forces, attention, and companionship. In this story, she tells herself in her dream that someone loves her, someone values her, and someone accompanies her. The story interweaved fictional plots with reality. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish whether one is in a dream or in reality. Perhaps the director wants such an effect.

This Chinese movie is so beautiful, filled with vibrant colours and top notch animation, I was so invested in the story and the atmospheric environment of this movie, the character design is so unique and weird, the cgi and vfx are so beautiful, even the rain looks like something from the dream, it's like the whole movies is inspired by lucid dreams, I was really glad I watched this movies, I have watched so many Chinese animated movies but, this one has some of the best colour palette, the story is very emotional and quite effective by the end, over I enjoyed the movie and hope to see more work like this in the future.

Maybe the movie itself has many flaws, but I am still very surprised to have such a domestic animation movie. The picture is very delicate, the emotion is very rich, and the particle ink special effects are also very sincere, which is a very good movie-watching experience. Domestic films always like to use traditional myths as themes, and it is difficult to break through with new themes, especially the portrayal of inner emotions, which is unique, full of novelty, and far-reaching. I really admire the courage of director Tian Xiaopeng. I also look forward to more and better domestic animation films appearing.

(85/100 - Excellent) "Deep Sea" in the character story through the elaborate setting and excellent visual art effect guidance, for the final act of the core explosion provides a strong expression."Deep Sea" is intoxicating in its beauty and penetrating in its depth. With its deep story and extraordinary audio-visual immersion, "Deep Sea" is a new milestone for Chinese animated films. Its technical inspiration also contributes to world animation.

Director Tian Xiaopeng and his team spent seven years weaving an almost impossible miracle. Tons of story details and graphic details tell you about their indomitable creative mentality. It would be hard to meet this film in today's streamlined film and television industry, which strives for speed of completion and efficiency of making money. The team that made this movie absolutely deserves our respect.
