Visually Thrilling, but Narratively Underwhelming
26 June 2021
A real surprise from the Chinese animation industry, where the story is clear cut and to the point with loads of fantastical world-buulding that's pretty fun. But the story is pretty weak in terms of its conflict. Each and every menacing and imposing conflict pushed upon our hero, Li Yunxian, is treated with such disposability and ease for our hero that he crosses all of them with no real sense of struggle. That made the film less thrilling for me, even though it was spectacular to watch, at times. I just wish they spent some more time on the animation, and the script to give us some thrilling action/drama.
