Time Raiders (2016)

Ahhhh, I enjoyed this movie so much. It was gorgeous. When it wasn't grossing me out (mummies can be nasty!). There was a plot, but it didn't get in the way of the action.

Fabulous choice of leading men. Really. The contrast between them was perfect. I personally wish for them to both have long successful careers.

The supporting actors were wonderful. The humor in this movie is great, and mostly carried by the supporting actors.

You MUST like gears to enjoy this movie. They are everywhere. Along with chains.

You must also not really care about which time period the movie is set in, as laptops & abacuses, Gattling guns & drones, digital cameras & puttees co-exist.

My favorite thing in this movie was a coffin that unfolded into a desk/office suite, along with a book case that I will lust after for the rest of my life.

Will I re-watch this? Absolutely. I am sure there are things I missed.

I strongly feel there will be a video game.

To those who are actually hesitating to watch this movie:

The CGI (imo) is actually bearable for a Chinese production. I've seen a lot worse. The thrill is really good. It's the kind of thrill where you think, "Oh, thank the heavens they're fine." But no, there's another freaking obstacle. Character development is weak tho because I think they were really focusing on the execution of the storyline. (I mean how do you expect 9(?) novels to be squeezed into the movie?) For the storyline, it's confusing at first. However, it all made sense at the ending if you connect it with all the flashbacks and the introduction. The moment you understand it, it's gonna flip you over.

Also recommended to people who loves shipping otps.
