So, the film is meh but very pretty from a PRC perspective. Lots of very large groups of people in colorful outfits doing synchronized movements. Monsters were caused by "greed". The great Chinese people built a huge technological military to protect the world. Emperors are stupid and weak. Europeans are taught enlightenment from their petty lust for simple profits for glory through service to The People. No, the hero doesn't get the girl because the girl is devoted to service to China.
It was actually very well done. It didn't make the white/latino dudes look stupid. Very highly skilled, in fact. Just 'lost' and simple. Not unified. They get a lot of screen time but really do not save the day.
It's no worse than the US saving the day in Independence Day. Much more subtle actually. China is looking to play themselves up as heroes in cinema, and they're willing to spend the money to do so. Interesting. First of probably many more to come. Worth a watch.
