I'll make this short and sweet...
The script is predictable and unoriginal...
The direction is poor...
The editing extremely disjointed...
CGI is very good...
Overall, this is a visually stunning action ride but that is not enough to keep me entertain for 2 hours. The plot and editing is all over the place making it very frustrating to follow and I find myself waiting for just the action scenes without caring for any of the characters or story.
As much as I enjoy Donnie Yen's work I'm not sure that directing this film himself is the right choice for this project, but that's just my opinion.
