Look a like asians with normal eyes
Closed the movie after 5 minutes.
No The first and second act are almost exactly like Alladin, beat for beat. The only faintest hint of originality comes in the third act, but at that point you really have to put in effort to keep paying attention.
Not to say it's a knockoff. Some chinese culture was well implemented, but the whole modern spin seemed very superficial.
There is some hint of critisism on modern chinese culture, but the movie doesn't adress these directly, wich is a lost oppertunity.
The only thing directly adressed is materialism, but that isn't really that profound coming from a genie movie.
The animation was really bad, with uninspired character disign and juvinile animations.
The conflict in the story seemed not very well thought out. And character development felt rushed and unimaginative. So the story was not engaging and predictable.
All in all, this is a classic example of how some movies feel like they were made by an algorithm. (thank you tencent) - julianmcvay - 15 July 2022
Very original Netflix
We all know this is Aladdin but in a different culture, you can't fool us! Instead go watch "Mitchells vs the machines" or "Vivo" instead of this, those are better Sony/Netflix movies.
