**High octane, senseless and undecissive mixture of SciFi-Action-Thriller-Comedy**

It's the most expensive chinese movie made not in China but in Australia. With 65 Million Dollars you can see the budget.

Done like a Hollywood Blockbuster, this movie starts first with a very dramatic exposition, but then gets action-packed with another past-paced exposition and then the action sets in, but something is missing: the storytelling, the characters, the involvement of the viewer.

Yes, the movie is done with a lot of energy, with a lot of heart, with stunning action sequences, but the movie can't decide, whether to be funny or serious.

From beginning to end, the plot is just a crude, inconsistent sequence of motifs that have never really been worked out or are quickly integrated into the plot to fill one or the other motivation gap, but narratively the film is lousy and the characters are superficial and implausible.

The movie is not entertaining, because it leaves me as a viewer alone with its inconsistencies and absurd plot developments that make no sense.

If you are drunk and just want some stupid action flick, watch it.

All others: Skip this one.

Not recommendable.
