Viewing Notes

A pretty fun spectacle and about what I was expecting. Matt Damon’s odd accent threw me off a bit but otherwise I enjoyed it. I’m sure we’ll continue to see more of these international co-productions with China. It’ll be interesting to see how it affects Hollywood and the makeup of the films, as there were definitely elements to this that were obviously dictated by the Chinese film board.
