...The Promise, here's the trailer cunts
http://ent.sina.com.cn/m/c/2005-11-10/1613892236.html (only works in IE and site is ultraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa slow)
set your Windows Media Player to buffer 4 minutes or you wont be able to view it normally
love the cinematography I can see in the trailer sofar
apperently they've cut 33 minutes from the original film for the DVD versions released outside China
its only rated a 5 on imdb.com. but the comments are very mixed, so I am ordering it via ebay anyways

It is pretty indeed. But as fascinating as it looks, I'm getting a little sick of the way live action Asian cinema just mimcs anime sensibilities when there's so much more they could do with it.

well those are just the major releases, this movie had the biggest budget ever (for a Chinese/ Hong Kong movie)
Also watched 'The Myth' yesterday, featuring Jackie Chan and it was a decent movie, but also had quite a bit missed oppurtunities sadly, similar in the way you depict
there are still loads of real gems to be seen
