The paper-thin characterizations and hackneyed dialogue (the latter especially painful since non-Chinese speakers are forced to read it via subtitles) serve as little more than narrative lubricant between the breakneck action sequences. There are plot elements, to be sure, including a budding romance between two of the more attractive members of the group, but they’re not exactly given substantial treatment. Director Fei Xing stages the violent mayhem in exuberantly giddy fashion, although it all has the feeling of a group of randomly assembled film clips rather than a coherent narrative. The feature is essentially comprised of one action set piece after another in which the group engages in battles with the aforementioned creatures, including the blade-toothed “viperfish” and deadly “flameflies” that look much more harmless than they are, all rendered in alternately impressive and godawful CGI. Among the group is Professor Sun (Cheng Taishen), because every mission of this sort requires an expert who can answer all the questions, of which there are many. There they intend to search for the Tomb of Emperor Xian, which supposedly houses a mystical orb that can lift the curse. It’s a skill that will come in handy for their latest excursion, which involves heading deep into the heart of Worm Valley, located on a remote island. Among those afflicted are a group of adventurers, led by Hu Bayi (Cai Heng) and Shirley Yang (Gu Xuan), whose specialty is tomb raiding. The latter aspect is obviously the most disturbing, since the mark looks like a really cool tattoo. The story, such as it is, is set in motion by an ancient queen’s curse whose sufferers bear a large mark on their shoulder and face the prospect of an early death. To make things even more confusing, there’s another unrelated pic, 2015’s Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe, based on the same source material. although it features an entirely different cast.
Mojin the lost legend full movie cima4u series#
This film, like its predecessor, is based on Zhang Muye’s best-selling, eight-volume fantasy book series Ghost Blows Out the Light (don’t go looking for it, it’s not available in English translation). But what’s truly strange about Mojin: The Worm Valley is that there doesn’t seem to be a worm in sight. It’s enough to make you hungry for sushi after the movie. The monsters include killer fish as well as giant lizards, crabs and snakes.
