Featured reviews
Actually, I want to give 6 points, and the extra 1 point is for the efforts of Chinese anime.
The picture is very gorgeous, colorful, and made with a great sense of quality. It can be considered a successful creation of a dreamy atmosphere. But sometimes it can overwhelm the theme characters, and made it confused.
The story was combination of Chinese and Western elements. I can see "Spirited Away", Dementor in "Harry Potter" and the elements of Stephen Chow's movie. It should be a story of self-redemption. She broke free from the shackles of depression in her own dreams. But in my opinion, she still needs external forces, attention, and companionship. In this story, she tells herself in her dream that someone loves her, someone values her, and someone accompanies her. The story interweaved fictional plots with reality. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish whether one is in a dream or in reality. Perhaps the director wants such an effect.

Maybe the movie itself has many flaws, but I am still very surprised to have such a domestic animation movie. The picture is very delicate, the emotion is very rich, and the particle ink special effects are also very sincere, which is a very good movie-watching experience. Domestic films always like to use traditional myths as themes, and it is difficult to break through with new themes, especially the portrayal of inner emotions, which is unique, full of novelty, and far-reaching. I really admire the courage of director Tian Xiaopeng. I also look forward to more and better domestic animation films appearing.
(85/100 - Excellent) "Deep Sea" in the character story through the elaborate setting and excellent visual art effect guidance, for the final act of the core explosion provides a strong expression."Deep Sea" is intoxicating in its beauty and penetrating in its depth. With its deep story and extraordinary audio-visual immersion, "Deep Sea" is a new milestone for Chinese animated films. Its technical inspiration also contributes to world animation.
Director Tian Xiaopeng and his team spent seven years weaving an almost impossible miracle. Tons of story details and graphic details tell you about their indomitable creative mentality. It would be hard to meet this film in today's streamlined film and television industry, which strives for speed of completion and efficiency of making money. The team that made this movie absolutely deserves our respect.

This Chinese movie is so beautiful, filled with vibrant colours and top notch animation, I was so invested in the story and the atmospheric environment of this movie, the character design is so unique and weird, the cgi and vfx are so beautiful, even the rain looks like something from the dream, it's like the whole movies is inspired by lucid dreams, I was really glad I watched this movies, I have watched so many Chinese animated movies but, this one has some of the best colour palette, the story is very emotional and quite effective by the end, over I enjoyed the movie and hope to see more work like this in the future.
The color matching is breathtakingly amazing, and the animation technology is at the forefront of the whole industry. The effect of this anime makes me cry, but sadly that's all there is. The movie has all the astonishing visual effects but it is too much for ONE movie. There's some scenes that is totally unnecessary, watching these incredible frames all the time is just making me feel tired and even disgusted. The director wants to show his talent so badly and it's like he put all the things that he have studied. The pace of the story drags on because of these scenes. Also, I cant understand what this movie is about in the first 1 hour. It seems like it is talking about a depressed girl is dying and the whole movie is about her dreams, but it is too unreasonable that most of the audiences can't understand. Anyway, it's a pity that this movie could have a higher rate.
Did you know
- TriviaThe director chose to use otters in the movie because he finds them very anthropomorphic, as they remind him of children when they rub their eyes or bang on seashells. The main otter in the movie, Tangdou, has bandages on his hands and likes candy like Shenxiu's little brother. He represents the comfort that she feels when she's with her brother.
