The plot and the story are good. It is about people finding out the true meaning of various emotions, and learning something about themselves. But, the movie uses too much gimmicks and martial arts techniques. The cheap special effects and too much flying has taken away from the main theme of learning what love is. Some of the scenes and cinematography techniques are brilliant. But the acting and the effects are a bit over the top. My Rating: 6.0
