I think this movie was alright. The story was pretty good. It brushed upon some aspects of psychology and the causality effect of our choices. The characters aren't too bad and they could represent some typologies. Their thoughts, expressed through their speech, do offer us some hints of philosophy of life. And might even contain some small pearls of wisdom. I think it's worth a watch and an afterthought. Enjoy! :)

This movie has a beautiful production (be it locations, designs, sets etc.) and a great execution and development of a story. If you've seen the trailer (reason why you are interested), then you have all you need to know going in. It's a good movie, an entertaining watch, and it is well done!

The script reminded me of the movie Limitless, where there's growth to "power" for a man that sank to his lowest point. I believe the lead started as a writer as well?

Anyway, this movie feels much smoother, and goes different places. Therefore, it is distinct enough for any fan of similar storytelling.

Some movies are JUST about getting from point A to point B. But this photoplay provides a very interesting ending and framing. I'm still wrapping my head around it, reasons that make me think it could be letdown for some (explaining it's lower score). But to me, it adds an additional layer to an already entertaining movie that works as a nice bow to a finely wrapped gift. I'm sure, after that reading more on the concept of Id/Ego/Super Ego, a second watch or an analysis will yield many details incorporated during early scenes that will elevate the story telling even more.

As of writing these last sentences of my review, I still think I quite liked it and would gladly recommend it. I'll ponder on it some more, and maybe I'll like it even more.

In China, now, they can make some fun films, like this one. This is still a Commie film (censored), but at least it doesn't contain the pro, gay, trans, racism that we see from Chinese owned Hollywood.

It's a fun story. Good special effects. The editing could have been improved, maybe, and there should have been better romance and chemistry to make it a really good film.

At first we were intrigued. Then came the musical interlude... oh my god, this is not great. But then we decided to persevere. And we got intrigued. Again. Now sucked in to watching the end, we cluched the sofa in frustration for the nonsensical whimsy that brought us to the end.

Mild acting with good VFX. Unique storyline. Mix of laughs and frustration. Highly recommended.

Screenwriters make the movies & the creative process is still a mystery.

Barton Fink comes to mind as another of those process/wierd slice of life about a screen writer movies.

This has a much more fantastical element in it. THe premise about a "dream guardian" is an interesting point. How many times have you awoken holding that treasure from the dream & it just evaporates as full consciousness returns.

I like the imagery of the fish in the bowl & later of the fish all alone in the huge tank by itself. Several themes running through this flic & musing on the ideas with repeated viewings seems worthwhile imo.

Curious about the bad guys saying they are checks to 'correct' your world view & how violence will always shadow existence like breathing needed worth checking out. Be interesting to see Nightmare on elm street see how much this has taken from it in a back to back session.

Action was great, casts were okay. Sound effects were okay. Great cgi and soundtrack. The problem lies in the directing, storyline, script writing & execution. Till now still dont get the reasons behind all the occurances. Not into investing my energy to brainstorm my head to understand this movie, but you could try if youre up for it. Good luck.

''Super me'' is an entertaining movie from start to finish , it deals with life's disappointments and opportunities. Greed is never good and the consequences of ''wanting more'' are not always what you may envisioned/imagined . The movie is captivating and long after the end credits rolled , you will still be contemplating the full meaning and message of.''Chao ji de wo'' I recommend it to sci-fi and time travel genre enthusiasts .

Only giving it 3 for it's good effects. The story is ok, but the execution is so bad, bad acting, musical interludes and just silly plotlines, was so hoping for a good enjoyable movie, very disappointed.

It was full of twists and was really enjoyable to watch. It is definitely the type of movie, you really have to give a chance and judge yourself not on online ratings.

There is plenty of plot twists and a likeable cast. The story is deep and psychologically unravels the mind and dreams of a man.

The production value was high and aesthetically pleasing.

I'm glad I watched it without any prior knowledge on what it was about. Online reviews are decievingly low and not reflective of this quality movie.

This film starts out fine, with good acting, an interesting premise and mysterious settings, and the foundation of a good morality story. About 2/3 through it becomes exceedingly violent, to the point one wonders if they changed writers and directors. It continued to lose all sense of focus and sensibility, then seemed to regain its footing until the very end scene. It ultimately has a nonsensical and ridiculous ending that just leaves the audience hanging.

A disappointing film in which the writers and director apparently expect the audience to read their minds as to what is happening... or make up their own ending, whichever. It had potential, but they just blew it.

I don't want to do spoilers, the end is ambiguous buy I wanted to delve deeper into the plot.

It's s very beautiful film and I think I'll watch it again.

The plot is interesting but the execution of the scenes is lacking. Also, the main actor needs a few more acting lessons.

Watch a lot of foreign film and appreciate the different sensibilities some bring to the table... This movie doesn't have a sensibility and isn't worth the 45 minutes I gave it to make a point. Your call, but this isn't worth anyone's time. If you want to watch any good Chinese movies, Yimou Zhang, has made several that are worthwhile... Hero is exceptional. Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles is very good as well in a completely different way.

I found it very good!

Great special effects, very entertaining

I really liked how that Chinese girl in the bar sang, just a brief appearance, but beautiful voice

there is a scene that is close to that of Bruce Almighty, when Jim Carrey discovers that he has the powers of God

the script takes some unnecessary twists and turns at the end, but they did a great job anyway.

It was boring i watched the whole movie because some of the reviews were pretty good But basically it was almost 1 hour and 45 minutes I'll never get back.

I can say if you don't have any goals then watch it... it's a hopeless movie with lack of acting and everything that you need in the movie.

Too much Chinese propaganda the basic message was if you get rich the government will steal everything from you and leave you covered in scars they want you to basically just be poor and be happy that was the whole point of this movie really bad government propaganda and China is currently killing muslims in the West of their country.

The premise sounded interesting, but, as others said, the story was poorly executed due to really poor acting by the main character, awkward interludes pretending to add depth, too many cliche rags to riches aspects, poorly written lines, I'll add bad voiceover inflection for English dubbing, and a failure to explain a number of things. The last few scenes seem to explain what happened, but then the very last scene and mid-credit scene throw all that out the window.

It started off high speed with the first scene, then quickly moved to boring with trying to create the protagonist's anguished backstory. It continued pretty slow and contrived until over an hour in when the action picked up again.

I had other stuff I could work on while this played, so I stuck it out for the entire time, but the movie became mostly background noise for me after about 20 minutes.

This was quite an original film, the characters were good and kept you engrossed. The story was unique I haven't seen this dream types of films since inception or Freddie kruger. It was a very fantastical story which I enjoyed. Who wouldn't want to dream of gold and money. But there's always a price.

I'm far from an expert on Chinese cinema, but I've seen a bit - but I've never seen anything quite like this. It started off interesting, stayed that way fo a while, and finished off even better.

It's more than "Give it a shot", somewhere near "Must-see". Plot is attractive and amazing. It's nothing like I have seen before. I can also vouch for special effects. The recent Chinese movies like "Special Me" or "Space Sweepers" are promising for sci-fi or fantasy seekers in the future.

I cannot understand the harsh criticism from people. When there is a limited selection of movies during the COVID-19 pandemic, these are gems. If you are a fantasy/sci-fi enthusiast, you will certainly like it.

As a writer myself I am astounded at the profound level of deep thinking Imbedded in this story.

It's a shame that so many amazing movies are lost on audiences incapable of understanding the story.

The plot is very simple.and the moral lesson as well. I enjoyed it a lot! It is a nice movie and it was directed beautifully.

Dont believe the bad review this movie is enjoyable, mix emotion at the end, simple and unique. I dont think ever watch a story like this before.
