This is one seriously entertaining movie! If anyone is into Chinese history, mythology, romantic fairy tales, reincarnation, archeology and Jackie Chan, this movie is for you! Everything about this movie pushed all my right buttons. I love the smart mingling of the present and the past concerning Jackie Chan's character, Jack the archaeologist and Meng Yu, an ancient Qin General.
Present day, Jack dreams that he was a general in the army of the first king of China and while exploring India and China with his friend, the scientist, William, he uncovers the mysteries of his past life. Anyone fascinated by the Terra cotta soldiers found in the tomb of the Qin King will enjoy this fantasy movie.
This movie is real eye candy from the wonderful scenes of India and China to the lavish costumes of the Qin period of China. The Korean actress who plays the tragic concubine Li and the Indian actress that plays Samantha, a beautiful Indian woman who helps Jack get away from the police also add to the beauty of this film.
Jackie's getting kinda old and he seems to be a lot more serious in this film than other Jackie Chan's films. His acting is fine, just that no matter what, he just can't play romantic. He's very earnest as the general but it's hard to believe that he loves the concubine. The Korean actress, on the other hand, really make you believe that she was in love with the general. She is truly heartbreaking in the final scene of the movie.
This is a fun movie that will satisfy moviegoers who likes action fantasy movies. Really worth taking a look!
