Forgettable Waste of Time

+ Meng Mei Qi's character almost intrigued me and was fun to watch interact with the protagonist
+ a few shots (mostly those with less CGI) were pretty
+ evil demon cult fighters are the most interesting part of the movie, and they're on screen for like 5 minutes. Pigman ftw!
+ a cute monkey rides a dog

- main actor is overacting to the point of cringe
- story is barebones and ends up with sequel bait after almost nothing happens
- the fights are uninteresting (like the whole movie) and feel cheaper than in many tv dramas
- overused CG of people flying on swords instead of, you know, building up characters and making me care about things

TL;DR: It feels like a pilot of a wuxia tv show, not a big movie. Completely forgettable in all aspects.
