Featured reviews
Yes, it's mostly a fantasy CGI green screen wire rope flying/jumping sequence after sequence film which can get really tiresome because theses movies have been done so many times, but I thought they did a quality job on all those elements including a bit of historical Chinese myth as plot backdrop. The three eyed toothy fish was hilarious. Acting was good. Entertaining as any to be found in this Chinese genre.
I have never seen a film quite like this and if, as I saw written in one review of it, it is a "proper Chinese Fantasy movie", I'll have to look for a few more of them because I loved it.
The plot lost me quite quickly but I don't really think that's the point. Watch it and you will see what I mean, that they really did have me with the fish.

Enjoyed this immensely wasn't too serious and good martial arts and comedy
Sadly, the show wasn't longer.
What I enjoyed most was the acting, and then novel effects. An example of a novel effect: a gloomy cave full of skulls, the camera scanning halts at a skull and its jaw bone drops off... meh, not that funny now, maybe, but there's many small effects like that - almost unnoticed, which, for me, added more interest / novelty.
Although equally enjoyable were story, sets, and CG. The story is obviously about overcoming evil... it's not that difficult to understand. The badies were bad and the goodies were good, but also imperfect, lol.
The actors, for me, were convincing in their passionate displays of sorrows joys and jealousies, ouch! By the side: a guy in the hero group - I don't even recall if he even had a line - had heavy brows and staring eyes, just wild, so novel. The rest of the hero group were mainly weird looking, out-of-this-world people. That added more novelty - quirkiness, which I enjoy.
Excellent sci-fi fantasy - and I suspect, lots of Chinese mythology thrown in. Don't miss it!
