The YinYang Monster (2021) Survival Lesson
Survival Lesson: "Giving and taking brings opportunities".
Synopsis: A band of outcast monsters, humans, and demons work together to defeat the evil demon king who has been loosed from his prison.
Rating: 8.5/10. This is an excellent visually stunning, and wildly imaginative fantasy movie. The effects, scenes, sets, creatures and costumes are exceedingly well crafted and beautiful and are by themselves well worth a watch. The weird and creepy 3-faced masked ferret creature is one of my favorite characters I've seen in a while. The plot itself is pretty simple, just a classic good vs evil story with a dash of romance. It is subtitled, so it is hard to comment too much on the acting, but it seemed well done and believable. My only complaint, and it seems to tend to be a feature of Chinese films, but there were parts that had a bit too much exposition in my opinion. Overall, though, excellent
