The definition of style over substance.
The first half an hour of the movie had me intrigued in what is going. “I wonder what is the deal with those characters, I wonder what is the deal with this world setting and mythology, I wonder what will happen with all these newly introduced concepts“. Well it’s not going to.
Deep See feels like a movie that is going through the motions of being a movie without actually understanding what function of them is supposed to be. It also keeps throwing hectic stuff happening on the screen almost in the hope that it will be too fast paced for you to realize how stuff simply isn’t adding up. Why is the movie acting like a bond formed between the two main characters? Why is it acting like anything in the story made them develop in some way? Why is the mov…

Rewatched Deep Sea, so much better than the first watch.
Movie is 11/10 overall. The animation, the characters, the detail not only through character design but the importance of names and the dialogue spoken.
Story: When moving through the story at first, it may seem linear, but in reality, the story is underpinned by subtle hints of future and past events. An example of this is how, near the end of the movie, dialogue spoken by NanHe is relayed in the real world. This, alongside the story of ShenXiu and her mother, who left her family, has a dialogue of importance relayed as well. It is genius. The story is also sad and grounded, but it has its fun and happy moments, just like life. In the end, Deep Sea is like remembering or dreaming the past while remembering trauma at the same tim…

I'll try to not spoil things on this review as much as i can, I'm writing this review fresh after watching it so i haven't reflected about it too much to give a more deep review, this review is more based on how i felt about this movie.
Deep Sea is the result of a machine that has been getting made and refined after Dreamwork's Kung Fu Panda came out, that movie inspired a needed change of the chinese animation industry that culminated with this movie. Deep sea is probably one if not "THE" best 3d animated movie i've ever seen from the artistic standpoint, it somehow manages to offer the most stunning visuals the indusrty has to offer that is on par or even surpasses the greats like Dreamworks or Pixar, is a technical artistic marvel that deserves to be studied on its looks alone.
Its al…

If Spirited Away and Disney had a child, it would be this movie. It has similar magical world to spirted away and the 3d element of Disney
i wasn't planning on watching it cuz i've never heard about it, but im glad that i was bored and come across it.
the art style is so unique, colorful, and engaging animations it will definitively make anyone watching it feel relaxed.as for the story i think it was good with likable characters also i found the character design somewhat realistic.
the movie combines wonderful visuals with an emotional story. If you appreciate gorgeous animation, it's well worth a watch.

(Spoiler-free Review)
I just watched this in the theaters as I'm currently located in China. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
Story (7/10): The story of Shenhai was pretty interesting. It is about a girl Shenxiu （参宿） who ended up in this fantasy world deep under the sea searching for her mother who she has not contacted for a while. She was guided by this mysterious sea creature but ended up in a restaurant run by humanoid fish and seals. The restaurant was run by Nanhe (南河), a greedy owner of the restaurant who cares only about making money. Much of the story was very abstract and reflected themes of loneliness, depression, and hope. Overall this story had a very strong "Spirited Away" vibe to it, despite being original in its own way.
Art (10/10): The art was simply fantastic.…
