It's just a fairy tale.
While The Yin-Yang: Dream of Eternity gave the impression of mystery, understatement, danger and there was a mystical note somewhere in the background, this production seemed purely entertaining, such a fairy-tale.
Arena, fighting monsters and of course the standard defense of the world against evil actually resembles Star Wars, more of an American production for children and teenagers.
Acting did not make any impression on me, because acting roles did not require it. Well played, no fireworks. But I was curious to see how Chu Xiao, known to me as the reserved, silent Chang An from Blood Romance, would play in this movie. Here he showed a different face. A bit of the flashy, pugnacious Yuan Bo Ya. Complete change of "emploi" (fran). And that's positive.
Obviously the computer graphics are amazing, the music is well chosen, but otherwise the movie is not memorable and I won't be watching it again.
