It's region-free. 3D discs from India and Australia (C and B) both work fine.

The 4K HDR really shows off the colors in this film and while it's basically a monster/myth story, I did kinda find it a bit distasteful in that there is a massive Chinese army with divisions, specialties, talents etc but it's the two renegade American thieves that save the day. Um... no.

No, one was Spanish.

True enough, my oversight there but you get my point about two derelicts saving the day for a massive army...

America didn't even exist when this movie supposedly takes place so I don't think anyone was supposed to be American or have an American accent lol

If that's what Damon was going for then he needs a new dialect coach...

Yeah, I am not exactly sure where he was supposed to be from. Tovar was obviously from Spain, but William's origin is never really even hinted at.

True but a lot of historical or fantasy movies have American actors retain their native accents. Usually the more shlocky ones lol.

Like Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I still cringe at that even though the rest of the film is great.

Also 47 Ronin and Keanu just doing his own American accent. 47 Ronin and The Great Wall are an awesome double bill.

Picked up this for $5. This and Spirited Away have been my only purchases so far.

Gorgon · 11-23-2017, 12:21 AM

The only relatively cheap Steel I can seem to find for this currently, is the German.
Now our Forum db write-up states English as one of the languages but when you click on it and go to Amz.de the write-up does not state English, only German (except for subs). Might anyone know if in fact English soundtrack is on the disc?
TYVM!

Is there a poll where I can give this one out of five stars?

levcore · 08-05-2021, 12:46 PM

Both the 3D and 4K are knockout presentations. This movie is a lot of fun with plenty of dynamic action.

That's about what it's worth. I blind bought this and regretted it.

I blind bought it as well, but I enjoyed it. My expectations were low going in and this exceeded what I thought.

levcore · 11-23-2017, 07:28 AM

Amazing 3D in this, absolutely stunning throughout. It's a fun adventure movie with great action scenes. Damon is pretty terrible though unfortunately.

My expectations were low and I still didn't care for it. It didn't help that the CGI was rather poor and Damon made little effort to use an accent of some kind.

Not only that, but the movie was cliche af! Especially considering who made it. Look at the other stories he's told.
