A historical fantasy from the Chinese mainland, apparently based on a mobile phone game that's highly popular in that country. This feels much of a muchness with many other recent Chinese fantasy films, i.e. Focusing almost exclusively on visuals at the detriment of story, character and viewer involvement. One thing I did notice here was the influence of Marvel on the whole look and feel of the production, particularly with the comedy animals which feel like something out of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. The CGI is extensive and not too bad, especially if you're a kid watching.
