Baxian!

I will keep this spoiler free, but I can not recommend this movie enough. I know its also in cinemas now in usa, belgium, canada and many more places so if it's for you go watch it. IMMEDIATELY. The animation is breathtaking, action, camera work, colors, everything. Throughout the whole movie, from start to finish. So is the sound and music which adds perfectly to the atmosphere. They also just had... FUN with the medium, like the goofy disco ball on top of the palace LOL The plot is super interesting and perfectly paced from start to finish with unexpected twists, emotion, tension, drama, action, etc, it never gets boring or too fast or too slow or drags or hard to follow. Perfectly placed for the entire 2+ hours of the movie. The movie is also hilarious without forcing it, but its really REALLY funny. And there is emotion etc too. The characters are fun and believable and you care about them. Even the side characters are fun. No-one is singularly evil or beyond redemption, except the one main villain, but I can't say how or what without spoilers so I wont. Its definitely NOT a children's movie! or at least... you can watch it with children no problem, but its not flat like a children's movie. Despite the humor etc it has a mature story (especially clear once you consider the last half and ending, again, won't spoil). In one word: P E R F E C T I O N. If there is a sequel I will run to the cinemas screaming, but given it had a clear ending that resolved everything, not sure if there will be. I want that or a game though. The entire rest of the audience also agreed that it was the best movie of the year, perfect, outstanding, etc, without exception as far as I could tell. Go watch it IMMEDIATELY or if its not in cinemas for you then as soon as you can elsewere. Its AMAZING. OUTSTANDING. 11/10. Now, I am going to look up a cosplay of the swordsman character to buy :)
