Set in a future Shanghi a reporter tries to find out how the merpeople and humans came together and ends up learning the story of human Stephan and the mer-princes Chao, who met him and declared that she was going to marry him.
Studio 4 C is back with a visually amazing film. It's a film that will make you want to stop the film just so you can look at everything happening in the frame. I was blown away. It's so amazing that I can't wait to see it again when I can watch it and stop the film periodically to see what is happening in the frame.
As good as the visuals are the problem is the narrative and the story telling are allover the place. As loud as the visuals are some of the sequences are. Bits of the story seem to be missing or overwhelmed by a side bit. This is a problem for Studio 4 C. while they make some of the best visual films, their narratives and feel scattered if they don't have a director who can hold the reins tightly.
I like this but I didn't love this the way I should have.
Reservations aside the visuals will blow you away and any chance you can get to see this big must be taken.
