Whisked away to an otherworldly island

I honestly wasn't sure how to rate this movie since I have a lot of criticism about it, yet at the same time it does a good job at being entertaining within the confines of its possibilities.

The movie is only an hour long and you very much notice this in how the characters have no time to be developed, we get very little chance to explore their motivations or romance even when a major plot point hinges on a change of allegiances. In the same manner, the plot is rushed and at times contrived to have everything fit within the very narrow timeframe they have.

And yet, it is a very entertaining movie. I enjoyed the xianxia world we are presented with, the CGI is good and gives us a fittingly fantastic experience, and the way everything rushes and tumbles like a fever dream actually lends itself well to the often-surreal atmosphere of the movie.

It is a very entertaining movie if you simply let yourself get pulled along on this adventure to an island that appears like a magical paradise but is actually a deathly trap. Oh yeah, and there is indeed a turtle on turtle island, though it showed up far less than I had expected (more turtle, please!)
