Finally, after a long wait, here come the rare Chinese 3D movie from Hong Kong/China,Tai-Chi Zero (太极 0). Directed by Stephen Fung (冯德伦) with a sterling casts from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan. To name just a few, Tony Leung Ka Fai (梁家辉), Shu Qi (舒淇), Angelababy (杨颖), Deniel Wu (吴彦祖), Eddie Peng (彭于晏) and many others..
From the trailer, the special effect and fighting sequence looks solid but it seems to be a bit too light-hearted for a martial art movie. Hopefully the actual movie is much more serious than what have been shown in the trailer. By the way, this is only the first instalment of a trilogy, maybe they will call it Tai -Chi 1 and Tai-Chi 2 for the sequels? On second thought, maybe not, hope they come out with the more creative names! ;-)
