Weile Ho

Probably the best movie of 2020, not a second when I lost focus thrift this 2h 30min of action packed and emotional theatrics. Please catch this one in the cinema, my gf and I enjoyed it too the fullest

Enjoyed the movie, gave a different adaptation to Mulan with emphasis to her being an innate warrior, struggling to break off from the stereotype that a female could not. Compared to the original, where she had her (and her platoon) character development displayed through "I'll make a man out of you". They each had their own beauty. I actually enjoyed the addition of Gong Li into the movie which was one of the other major difference from the original disney Mulan movie. Do catch this one in the theatres. Definitely not just a remake without thought.

*Spoiler* Unlike The Batman trilogy and Inception, the storyline simply took too long to come online, the concept of everything going backward in time except for the "time traveller" is easy to grasp, even if viewers didn't understand the fundamental cause behind how the technology was developed to decrease entropy. No mind boggling concept or wow moments. Expecting an exciting development to finding out the mastermind or expecting a twist would be wishful thinking. The movie can be summarized as 3rd rated and cliche. Protagonist was at his "baby" stage of utilizing the technology throughout the whole movie, ending off implying that he would get better in the "future", and directed the whole operation that happened in the "past". Some action filled scenes with no significant value added, with 1 scene seemingly a rip off from the likes of Fast & Furious, with insignificant flavour of time inversion to make it its own. Save your time and money, give this a pass.
