[B]Everything everywhere all at one.  [/B]It's a spectacular failure. I wanted to like it because the director was shooting for the moon and decided to be as indulgent as he possibly could be.   That kind of self-belief can produce something amazing or a big sloppy mess. This is the latter.

It's way too long. There's probably an hour of kung  fights. Some are clever but not nearly enough to warrant this amount of time spent on fights with predetermined outcomes. The story line is well conceived and has a lot of heart. The premise device is clever but it becomes a dead horse that is beaten and beaten and beaten and beaten. The performances of the principles is probably the best part of the movie. The rest of the cast is pretty much wasted. This is a high end film making by folks who know what they doing in terms of cinematography, special effects and editing. There are some interesting and fun ideas explored here. Not enough to save the movie.

Three stars for the attempt. One star for the movie.
