L.O.R.D: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties

WHAT-IS: ”L.O.R.D.: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties is a 2016 Chinese computer animated motion capture action fantasy adventure film written and directed by Guo Jingming. It was released in China by Le Vision Pictures on 30 September 2016 in 3D and IMAX 3D."

And while it is obvious much effort and attention was paid to the K-Pop / LOTR-Elfen looking faces in this film - whom are pretty similar to even Taiwan’s “Thunderbolt Fantasy” pretty-boy-looks - unfortunately the movements are not even comparable to the marionette puppetry, methinks!

I’ll let y’all judge for yourselves, with these two trailers to gawk at :)

FYI: There is a “bootleg full version” out on the net now, but the funny thing is, it needs to be watched with perhaps 3D-glasses! LOL

PLOT: "The Odin Mainland is separated into four counties, in each lives a group of soul masters protecting their county with their soul powers. The most powerful seven of them are known as Noble Lords. The story begins in the water origin, the Aslan Empire.
