In China, now, they can make some fun films, like this one. This is still Commie film (censored),but at least it doesn't contain the pro, gay, trans, racism that we see from Chinese owned Hollywood.
It's a fun story. Good special effects. The editing could have been improved, maybe, and there should have been better romance and chemistry to make it a really good film.

Pretty good!
This movie has a beautiful production (be it locations, designs, sets etc.) and a great execution and development of a story. If you've seen the trailer (reason why you are interested),then you have all you need to know going in. It's a good movie, an entertaining watch, and it is well done!
The script reminded me of the movie Limitless, where there's growth to "power" for a man that sank to his lowest point. I believe the lead started as a writer as well?
Anyway, this movie feels much smoother, and goes different places. Therefore, it is distinct enough for any fan of similar storytelling.
Some movies are JUST about getting from point A to point B was fun! But this photoplay provides a very interesting ending and framing. I'm still wrapping my head around it, reasons that make me think it could be letdown for some (explaining it's lower score). But to me, it adds an additional layer to an already entertaining movie that works as a nice bow to a finely wrapped gift. I'm sure, after that reading more on the concept of Id/Ego/Super Ego, a second watch or an analysis will yield many details incorporated during early scenes that will elevate the story telling even more.
As of writing these last sentences of my review, I still think I quite liked it and would gladly recommend it. I'll ponder on it some more, and maybe I'll live it even more.

entertaining movie, with a weird ending
I found it very good!
Great special effects, very entertaining
I really liked how that Chinese girl in the bar sang, just a brief appearance, but beautiful voice
there is a scene that is close to that of Bruce Almighty, when Jim Carrey discovers that he has the powers of God
the script takes some unnecessary twists and turns at the end, but they did a great job anyway.
