First Myth: The Clash of Gods
by Boxun Li
Feng Shen Bang: Jue Zhan Wan Xian Zhen
2021 / 92m - China
Action, Fantasy
A big fantasy epic that holds the middle between live action and animation. So much is done with CG here that it's really just a bunch of actors walking around in front of green screens. Which can be cool, sadly, the budget didn't really seem to be there for First Myth, and 90 minutes of subpar CG does weigh on a film like this. What saves this film is the mad pacing. Though the CG isn't great, there's happening so much that you'll hardly find the time to get annoyed by any technical hiccups. There's plenty of action, a series of familiar gods (Ne Zha is part of the team of heroes) and the film does feel pretty epic. The ambitions clearly outgrew the budget, but nonetheless a pretty amusing film. Read all
