Viewing Notes

I love that China still makes these extravagant fantasy films. Not for everyone but definitely made for me. Lush and gorgeous CG landscapes and photography. Wild, convoluted story with high fantasy and fun action beats. Handsome lead actors and colorful supporting characters. Not sure if this played River East but I wish I could see this one real big.
