Da Yu

Giving this an 7/10 rating

Rare chance to see Chinese animation, and it was great, a very good blend of and use of technology that has produced a very good looking film, just felt the story got a little muddy in places.

Two ancient tribes that have mystical links have been battling over time, and the fall out is a man a his son, trying to live out their lives in peace, but as it works out, sins cannot be forgiven, and all sorts of people have their own pasts that catch up with them, dead or other wise.

Plenty of ghosts and monsters run around and the action is swift, some times sharp and brutal, within the very different designs of the cast, creatures and landscape. Helped by some very good sound design.

It's not perfect, the boy, lead got a bit annoying and like I stated, the story gets lost a bit. Other than that, it's good and worth a look as far as different animated films go.
