Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just thought this film was about the Great Wall in China, but it turned out to be a really good fantasy film with the Great Wall keeping out beasts from attacking the rest of the world. Great creature design and special effects, Good acting, and story plot. The battle scenes are impressive and innovative. If you like films with creatures in them, you will love this film. I've watched it three times in a week.

To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this movie. I went into it reading a few reviews and thinking that it was going to be terrible. It was actually pretty entertaining, and despite a few plot holes and inconsistencies, it makes for a great popcorn flick as it is a beautiful movie to watch.

This is NOT an "historical" flick; it's a fantasy ACTION extravaganza. Did I say "ACTION?" The effects blew me away. The female warriors are incredible. The good news is that there is not much thinking involved. I recommend a bit of your favorite "relaxant," turn off your brain and go along for the ride.

Rented this the first time around and was pleasantly surprised. I'm familiar with Zhang Yimou movies but thought I wouldn't be too impressed with it. I was pleasantly surprised to find it entertaining enough to purchase it in 4K. This just ups the audio and visuals to the next level.

I love epic battle movies!! And I thought this movie was a great representation of the battle between good and evil. For this type of movie, cinematography is every thing, and this movie was right on the mark. I especially like the custom designs and the computer generated (CG) effects.

This was an entertaining movie I saw in the theater. The colors of the costumes and the scifi premise of the movie was unique. Matt Damon usually is in a good movie. I like to keep hard copies of movies for our library only if they are worth watching over and over again. This one is.

This is a bad movie... A really bad movie. The premise is that Matt Damon and company go into China to bring back gunpowder. They find out that the great wall of China was built to defend the country from alien monsters and get caught in the middle of it...

i saw it on TV. and knew someone who would like it. your staff was so helpful. there were 3 boys looking through the racks for me. they found it quickly. saved me alot of walking around. this is why i go to Best Buy. there is always someone there to help. the DVD has Spanish translation, which was what i needed. i saw it on my TV in English and watched it with my friend, again in Spanish.

From the director of HERO, HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS and CURE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER, comes another good film. Not as good as the previous mentioned ones, but a fun entry in the Zhang Yi-Mou filmography.

I like it! it's an interesting take on an old folklore of the Great Wall of China with an "Aliens meet West meets East" plot. And for some reason, everyone thinks Matt Damon is the main character - which he is - but he shares that role with the Chinese chick... he just gets paid the most...

Some 4ks are no better, maybe worse, than the blu ray copy. This disc has eye popping color, typical TrueHD sound, and the movie is pretty enjoyable. Some movies you watch once and that's it. This one is a choice I believe that can be pulled out once or twice a year with enjoyment. The action scenes are pretty impressive, some other scenes drag a little, but overall good purchase.

I'm a huge Matt Damon fan and see all his movies. The Great Wall was awesome to watch. It has such wonderful visual imagery. What could be better than a story about a historic giant wall which was made to keep out fantasy beasts! My favorite parts were when the warriors jump from the top of the wall on harnesses to fight the beasts, and of course, when Matt Damon is shirtless. :)

I really wanted to see it on the big screen was too busy ..... I heard mixed reviews from those who saw it, but I purchased it anyway. I think it was a good movie, the lush colors and story were very well done, the acting is what was subpar, it was a good movie not a great one.

I knew nothing about the story before viewing so I was surprised by the story and the nonstop action. The film is beautifully filmed with eye-popping color. The action never stops. Matt Damon is okay as the lead actor. The standout of this film is the CGI which is outstanding.

Special effects are phenomenal! The movie is a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi. It has some very intense moments, but it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Great acting! If you are into fantasy movies with real characters and fantasy monsters, then this is the movie to watch!

I thought this movie was great. Matt Damon against a bunch of demon like creatures. I went into this looking for a good time and that's exactly what it delivers. People need to start enjoying movies like this again. They don't make enough of them and won't since they fail.

Was a solid film , if you enjoy Matt Damon you’ll like this film. Has cool Chinese historical themes even if you’re not too into history. Also has some surprise stars you wouldn’t expect to be in this.

I don't get to see movies in the theatre that often, but this was one that I made a point to see on the big screen. I am glad I did. This was an epic movie that is visually stunning. The CGI was phenomenal, and the action scenes were great. There were times that the dialog seemed forced, but the pilot moved well. I walked out of the movie thinking, "This is a DVD I need to own!"

Expectations were very high with Matt Damon being in the movie, however the movie's writer and producer should have developed more dialogue and more of a storyline around the lives of the soldiers and the long-term battles with the creatures. Movie is worth seeing...

Got this one for a great price and the it was worth it for the picture quality of the HDR. Not the best movie but great popcorn flick for sure. The Dolby atmos sound rocks and if you have a good sub you will feel the lows for sure. I recommend this pick up if you need a good action flick.
