POSITIVES…
The fantasy filled premise and mythological world building is entertaining enough to keep my interest.
Solid plot progression that doesn’t waste a lot of time in keeping the story moving.
Ensemble cast is good in this, which includes Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Qu Chu Xiao, Shen Yue, and more.
Despite the minimal developments, it was easy to find attachment with the characters in this story.
Some enjoyable action sequences that mixes martial arts with magical aesthetics and superheroics.
That one scene involving those shoji screens was pretty cool looking.
Set design and costumes looked great.
If this is just a giant promo to look into the Onmyōji novel series, video games, or anime, then it fulfilled its purpose.
NEGATIVES…
Plot conveniences and familiar tropes galore.
Characters are generally just archetypes without too much nuance.
"OMG he's such an idiot." Phrase I used often while watching.
Visual effects for the monsters don’t always look the best.
Ending could have been more satisfying.
