Drama Digest:

The first explorations of the Nanjing region reveal mysterious underwater ancient tombs the mysterious, suspicious cloud that is buried for a thousand years now. The protagonist of the movie sets off to explore the ancient tombs for the first time in their lives. The expedition is marked by difficult and risky situations. Getting this golden opportunity the archaeological experts Professor Wang and Cao Xin Xin grab the opportunity and Qi Xiao Bai who is not as skilled as they get tangled up with them too. This is not only an expedition but also an underwater robbery journey of the tomb. The trio takes the situation into their own hands and there begins their journey.  

The feel-good part:

The visual beauty of the movie is one of the good aspects. Professor Wang shows intellect where Cao Xin Xin is not only a beautiful lady to be admired, her martial arts skill and fighting skills make her the knight in shining valor for others. Slaying thousand years old blood-thirsty bats or flying over the venomous spider webs or drawing bridges to fight the armored force of the puppets gives you the thrill you wished to have. 

The disappointing factor:

The story becomes tangled and complex in the middle which is very difficult to interpret. You might even find some action scenes unnecessary as well it might feel as if those are some filler to stretch the movie.  

In-depth analysis:

The movie presents to the audience how greed for wealth and power can lure people into the traps of doom. Passion-driven people find their passion and can be happy but greed doesn’t end up being healthy for people.  

Star power:        

Cao Xin Xin and Qi Xao Bai are the stars who power and fuel the movie through their performances. The actions performed by Cao Xin Xin and the raging chemistry of Qi Xao Bai light up the screen for the audience 

Overall opinion:

The movie is an adventure thriller is a piece of art. It serves the purpose of entertaining the audience and giving them something to look forward to. The movie is a fun watch and worth watching if you wish to feel the adrenaline rush. You can also learn a lot of cultural things about the mythological landscape of China.
