Leizhenzi: The Origin of the Gods is quite the interesting take on ancient Chinese mythology, rooted in the 'Investiture of the Gods' novel. The atmosphere is steeped in a kind of ethereal quality, with visuals that play with the fantastical elements of Taoist lore. The pacing sometimes feels a bit uneven but it has moments that really draw you into the world. The practical effects, especially the battles and transformations, have a certain charm, reminiscent of earlier fantasy epics, though not always seamless. Performances vary, but they do capture that mythic tone, with characters that feel larger than life. It’s distinctive for its blend of mythology with a more grounded narrative approach than you might expect.
