      Audience Member If you want to lose and submerse yourself in gorgeous Chinese mythology and legend tales, this is it, including all animated features preceding this. Very well done. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Abdul J If you are fan of Chinese mythology and also a fan of Beautiful sceneries, alluring landscaps and futuristic technology then this movie is a must watch for you my friend 👌 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Xikang Z Watched it on IMAX 3D for 7 times. The set up and the CG techniques are just top-class, but the story was quite bewildering. It had a great idea, but the screenplay was not so good. The team definitely wants to discuss deeply into history and society but they just couldn't handle these big topics in a perfect way. But it still makes much sense. In summary, the visual effects are worth the tickets already. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Murtada Elfadl Variety a fine addition to the New Gods saga with impressive animation that fills the frame with details that illuminate the narrative. Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com While the first hour of “New Gods: Yang Jian” is about as attractive as it is surreal, the back half only works if you care about the destinies of its undistinguished protagonists. Rated: 2/4 Jan 25, 2023 Full Review Tasha Robinson Polygon Visual thrills are the main draw in Yang Jian. Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Bloated. Rated: 2/4 May 8, 2023 Full Review Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It feels like two stories not very well grafted together. Feb 11, 2023 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media The animation in New Gods: Yang Jian is consistently impressive and beautiful, but without a coherent story, the striking visuals only go so far.
