A Hidden Gem of Block Buster on display for every one to enjoy
28 July 2016
Writer-director Vincent Zhou has shown the world what the Chinese Blockbusters can be if they are not about martial arts. Although this film does have some really cool fight scenes too. Zhao has delivered a successful summer blockbuster which is on par to anything that Hollywood has to offer. Lost in the Pacific is a complex story, which is full off action, suspense, drama and romance. The main stars of the film are Brandon Routh (Superman Returns 2006) Yuqi Zhang (The Mermaid) which also came out this year, and Russell Wong.

Like I wrote before the story is very complex. But i'll try and explain it anyways. Wong plays the CEO of an airline company where has invested everything into a new type of luxurious planes. Any mishaps and it is worse tragedy then the Titanic.

While trying to show off the new plane, he invites V.I.P passengers with an interest in investing in the company, so all of them are high profile figures or super rich, including main investor Prince Khadsa played by Tazito Garcia, while on board the plane Wong's personal assistant goes out and manages to get the winner of the voice who is a very close friend of Prince Khadsa to be on board too. He just happens to be the only son of Wong's character. While on board the plane we get to see some awesome set decorations, brilliant acting by all of the cast and some great work on CGI. Without going into to much detail about the film.

I will simply say this, mutated animals, Super soldiers and great musicians all come together in this fun and entertaining film.
