I really liked it
I was a little worried at the beginning that it would be cheesy but I did not find that to be the case nor were the special effects bad

Worth watching if you have the patience
Great cinematography, excellent special effects, beautiful scenery. To enjoy this movie you must suspend your expectations. As with all films made in Asian countries, especially China, you can forget trying to follow a path of logic or continuity. The movie tries to encompass romance, intrigue, horror, comedy, suspense, and apocalypse. All without one scene following the logic from the previous scene. Simply don't fret about it and enjoy it. It's a fun movie.

The Subtitles are not sync'd properly
As the headline reads, the subtitles are not sync'd properly.. which sucks.. there are plenty of videos available on prime like this and even ones with thousands of reviews are never updated/fixed.. that said it's a good movie and the subtitles are not as bad as say yakuza vampire where it can be as much as several minutes out of sync so you can sort of understand here at least what's going on. Also its lists the audio as English for the only option and it's not English

Unexpected story line
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.

It's how Chinese SciFi cinema rolls...
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.

Fun movie to watch
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.

Entertaining with exception of two silly characters they had to throw in there
I had seen the trailer a number of times and finally tonight I found this to be the only worthwhile movie to watch. As usual it started slow and introduction of characters. I don't know what it is with far eastern movies where they always have to have a "silly" or two characters which ruins the entire movie. You are either and adventure, drama, but in this case an adventureamady did not work. But, overall, it was entertaining once the plot was revealed it started to make more sense. I wish they had translated it rather than subtitles though. I do recommend it. But it requires a little bit of patience.
