Empires of the Deep trailer (that $130m Chinese mermaid movie)

For the record, I saw the trailer here.

Has anyone else looked at this? Does anyone else have an opinion?

I’d love to see a wonderful fantasy movie in this sort of setting, but I don’t think this will be it. The CGI furballs do not inspire awe, and there’s not enough non-CGI furball content to make up the difference.

Still, even if it’s as bad as the trailer makes it looks I’ll pick it up for cheap on DVD at some point.

Grab the crackers because that is some quality cheese.

A hundred and thirty million dollars for what looks like something you’d see on Syfy on Saturday night?

Is this some kind of Producers-esque attempt to cheat investors out of their money?

Makes me think of The Scorpion King. Did they grab footage of those giant scorpions and turn them into giant lobsters or is it just me?

"The War…

Between Good and Evil…"

Cheese indeed. More than in a French all-you-can-eat buffet.

Looks like a cutscene from a PS2 game.
