Insane as hell, but funny and likeable. Kung-fu mixed with Wu-xia is not my favourite style, but here I didn't feel ashamed, didn't roll my eyes and was quite surprised at times. What you have to reckon with is that there is no gravity, at times you feel like you are watching a Chinese prequel to The Matrix with Michael Bay visual effects, but it is so playful, fun, colourful, and when the fighting is on the ground there is no shortage of decent choreography with solid Kung-fu elements. I had a good time, the visuals are a treat, but I'll stick with three stars. 65%
