Review: The Great Wall

Cheesy Chinese/Hollywood fusion with added Matt Damon.  Plot, script, CGI and characterisation are purely functional and in service to some wonderfully richly coloured costuming and military set pieces.  This isn't high art, but it was a lot of fun to watch on a Friday night and a few scenes (especially those featuring stained glass windows) look absolutely wonderful in 4K HDR such is the vibrancy of their colour.

Verdict: Not quite as bonkers as hoped, but a wonderful spectacle at times.
