only good thing was the cgi visuals
This movie is inherently a bunch romance elements unravelling among a hurdle of insane traps and trials on the way through the tomb.
Production Value:
I must say the set design and background and lighting (it was great being able to see the characters despite being in a cave) was so well done. I've seen other tomb raiding produced in 2022 but it does not compare. The production value is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
The creatures and monsters in this film was done very well. From the design to the execution is very cool. Although they might not be something we see in reality, it does not look out of place.
The cutting and costume changes between Hubayi and shirley kind of makes me mad. They dont match up and are all over the place - ruins the chronological flow for me. Voice dubbing was a bit off for me especially for shirley, they need to work on the sound editing so things line up.
Characters:
Everyone seems to know how to be athletic and have super human jumping and be able to dodge deadly fast arrows or falling spike traps. Why was their six people in the cast, there was definitely no need for the ling long girl - just to be wang kaixuan's love interest. Who is she and why is she relevant? And the speed lore dumping from Shirley TT I'll just say in the grand scheme of things it feels too rushed and not incorporated well.
Acting
Everyone looks to young for their roles lol. Not a big concern but especially for the professor, he's supposed to be old based from other drama adaptations. Everyone I reckon did okay, the problem was the material they were given to work with. Some lines just felt useless in the grand scheme of things, others could be expanded and reworked in a way that better served the story telling. It really felt like dialogue - screaming - dialogue type of story to me.
Music + Rewatch:
I dont have any qualms about the music, wasn't part of my focus. Super super low rewatch value. This movie was sort of a waste of time, not engaging, and prolly a common opinion; dont try to squeeze a lot of content that needs time to build within a short movie.
I'd only recommend watching this if you want to see cool cgi and sfx.
