Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe

I have to admit first of all that I only rented this movie because Mark Chou is in it. But I discovered it is a very interesting movie and I don’t think I have ever seen a storyline like this before I do enjoy some fantasy movies which this movie falls into that category but I didn’t anticipate the ending and enjoyed seeing it. very cool special effects.

This was a very different movie different from most I have seen. Refreshing and I loved it!

Biggest issue is that it states English as the language but it isn't but I don't mind subtitles it is an interesting adventure from china's past and of course aliens

This movie is how Chinese Scence Fiction rolls. Please give it an English soundtrack and it would do well in the States (!!) The cinematography, camera work and CGI is breathtaking. I watched it in Chinese without any subtitles and still was incredibly engrossing....an archaeologist expedition explores the ruin and fossils from an ancient civilization and find evidence of war possibly inter-dimensional.Here the plot almost writes itself (but what a fantastic delivery) with watchers, guardians, genetic descendants and the ten thousand year struggle to either resume or prevent the resumption of Earth destroying hostilities. The locale is in the Mongolian badlands, not unlike the American Southwest. It has a Lord of the Rings and Raider of the Lost Ark feel to it in a backdrop of dark machinations human and demonic.. And probably the best CGI monsters you will see in the business, almost flawless terror, The play on a separate human species hidden within the human race is such a common theme it makes you wonder if there actually is such a thing? Buy it and put it in your collection.

I tought this movie was pretty good, and different. The effects and production values were high. Sometimes it may seem to be hard to follow, but that may be a cultural thing in how we view things in the west. It has a lot of action, some humor, surprises, mystery, magic. It's not specifically about dragons, dinosaurs and such, though they do appear in the movie, if only to carry some plot points.There are some surpirse at the end, and the story is somewhat wrapped up. There are a couple of scenes were the actors break out in song, I just fast farwarded past those very small bits. Again, that may be common in Asian movies, I'm not sure.I think this would peal to any age (as long as they can read and follow the subtittles).If you get tired of the same old cookie-cutter US movies, try this one, and get another perspective on film.

Wish I can get my refund the movie is slow and predictable. But when. It got the end the action started to pick up fighting part could be longer but ahhh it is what it is

Really only a two star, but there's so many pretty scenes, and the monsters were pretty good CGI. All the reviews I could find said it would be a stinker, and it was. At least dozens of times, characters come from out of nowhere. Everyone gets tossed hundreds of feet and shrugs it off. Humans were the least believable in this constantly-showing-off-for-no-reason film. The special effects got tedious, the monsters were smart and then stupid and defied physics too much, and the deaths of the crew was ho-hum -- the viewer relates to no one. The sequel that seems to be set-up will not be watched by me. Nope. I got about two dollars worth of entertainment when I paid 5 and tax. Not worth it. In fact, watch the trailer and it's at least ten times more entertaining than the film.

I loved this movie. It opens with workers giving an enthusiastic performance of communist party songs, so over the top that one wonders if it's a lampoon. And then the action gets underway and it is a roller coaster ride. Monsters, deaths, and close escapes. All through the movie one is reminded of classic science fiction themes from other movies. Some of the scene transitions were worthy of Cronenberg or Lynch. The ending left me wanting a sequel, so that everything could be resolved.All in all, a great movie for English and Chinese speakers alike.

It is good, not epic but still enjoyable

A new take on Raiders of the lost ark. A movie with a lot of heart, a visual feast from beginning to end.

Came within the time it said it would and it's a great movie

A fantastic film greater story with a slight twist the characters are enjoyable and fun

Awesome movie
