Summary: A solid Blu-ray release from Thailand
Comment: I watched this film on Blu-ray Disc.
At the time of this review there aren't any other reviews. This doesn't make any sense to me. Normally films like this draw a cult following fairly quick. It falls into so many different genre's that it's impossible to label it.
I really enjoyed this film. The CGI was a little weak, but the Director himself mentions in a "making of" short on the Blu-ray disc that the CGI is probably some of the best for any Thai films to this date. It definately wasn't weak enough to take away from my enjoyment of the film. Keep in mind I'm comparing it to a Hollywood film, it still stands heads & shoulders above anything made for the Sci-Fi channel.
Story was solid. Some of the acting was a little soft for some minor characters, but the main characters gave a strong performance.
Beware of the product description. This movie is definately action/adventure, but most definately NOT a martial arts film. Essentially it's a story about a magic jungle where mythical creatures live. A group of cops are hunting some escaped convicts who are trying to find "riches" in the jungle. The story spans over a couple of decades and has a pretty cool ending that I didn't see coming. This is a monster/cops & robbers/demons/magic movie with some time travel mixed in.
It looks and sounds amazing on Blu-ray. The picture remains sharp throughout and only drops in quality during the CGI scenes which is understandable for a film of this type.
There isn't a lossless audio track on the disc however the Thai Dolby 5.1 soundtrack remains strong. The rears were definately being utilized for added atmosphere. I can't comment on the English 2.0 track. I hate watching dubbed films and couldn't imagine trading a 5.1 for a 2.0 even to watch a film in my native tongue. The only English audio option is the 2.0 track. I believe that most of the people who'll enjoy this film fall into the "rather see it with subtitles than watch it dubbed in English" category anyway.
I couldn't bring myself to give this film 5 stars due to some of the less than perfect acting and some soft CGI (mostly where the High Def picture quality drops too). All in all this is an excellent movie that speaks of some future potential from Thailand. A definate rental, but for the price I think I'm going to add this one to my collection. I can see myself wanting to watch this film again someday.
