The Forbidden Depths poster

From time to time, the Chinese streamers try to abandon the fantasy/martial arts genre in order to diversify their offerings.

It's obvious the routine is lacking to make this a proper genre effort, but it is nice to get something different for a change.

Too much green screen moments and bad CG hamper this film's appeal. The setup is pretty fun, the pacing and runtime are perfect and the film does end up feeling pretty adventurous, but the grandeur of the genre remains forever out of reach. Not terrible, but I don't think we'll see too many similar films in the near future.
