Who’s doing the “escaping” exactly? There are so many better and more suitable words, like plummet or return. The 89 minutes running time was just too short to cram and focus on each individual story of the four characters. And yet, it seemed to drag on more than it should have.

Pleasantly surprised at how much I was entertained by a movie that I thought I would have been indifferent about after watching it. For its genre, it was properly written enough to care for the characters.

I haven’t seen a Chinese fantasy this good in a long, long time. Nothing comes to mind even from the past decade. So it’s really about time. And though there were many things that could have been improved, like the editing which needed serious work, but I was very happy coming out of it.
