This is a story set in Beijing, specifically "World Park", a theme park which features replicas of famous buildings/monuments of the world. The slogan is "See the world without leaving Beijing". The story revolves around various workers at the park. I really wanted to enjoy this film, which starts out fairly strong, but then goes on too long. The characters are fairly ordinary, with ordinary life problems/situations, and I wanted more intrigue. I like the idea of the film, but there should have been a more interesting story line. It looks great, it is shot great. However, I finished the film just shrugging my shoulders. This is a case of could have been so much better. Six stars for effort, but ultimately not that great.
