Such a frustrating disappointment
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
One of the characters in the movie says that the Tao Tei attack every sixty years "to keep greed in check," and that is precisely the message of the movie. The world's poor, most of them anyway, are tired of being poor, being represented by the Tao Tei themselves, and if not checked are threatening all-out war against the richest two percent of the population that are not sharing, hiding in seclusion, hoarding and loving their wealth, protecting themselves with a "great wall" that they hope nobody can penetrate. As the movie demonstrates, that line of thought has its weaknesses. A very good way to put off a moral to those who are, in fact, multi-billionaires while their next door neighbors are starving and without much else. Should they heed the warning to prevent all out world-wide civil war, or--should they continue to buy yachts, mansions and small countries with no thought to anybody else?
I'm sorry I really don't like this movie coz of history behind the Wall is to built is not coz allien or whatever is this. They built the wall coz of Mongol empire.
I can't believe people on this site are actually saying this movie was good. This has to be one of the 5 worst movies I have ever seen!!
