A new mythical epic film

This is a fantastic film. It has stunning imagination and constructs an enormous, grand worldview. It's a mythological story from ancient China, with many elements.

Although the special effects still have some flaws, and there aren't too many scenes of battles between gods and immortals. The scenes are still impressive. The opening battle in the snow and ice was spectacular.

The ancient architecture in the film is well made, with very rich details, realistic and with historical depth, showing the production team's care and effort.

The plot is decent, without many plot holes.

It's really a pleasant surprise to see a mythic epic based on Chinese mythology. I'm tired of watching those Hollywood mythological and fantasy films. The European mythic epics are not produced on a large scale, which is unsatisfying to watch.

Mythic epics of this scale are also rare in film history.

Overall it's very good, it just ends abruptly, hoping to see a sequel.
