Why I say it's not for everyone because, spoilers alert, it's not end with our hero walking out of sun down or together with the woman he loves. No, so beware.

The mood of the film is different from the mainstreams of film you would see. The color and lighting are somehow very different though it served the mood of the story really well. And if you have a second thought at the first few minutes because of the CGI, I hope you would be patient and watch it till the end. There is a huge different between trying to go realism but turn out fake and trying to go for something exotic and different from the beginning. You have plan for it.

I came personally for Yosuke Eguchi. His acting was spot on here as well as on Rouroni Kenshin. He really captured the emotion and embodied the character really well. The other casts played out their characters flawlessly too. You wouldn't have to feel out of mood because of a single character seems fake or out of character. The development of each one was really good given the short time whereas i have seen many movies failed to do it.

The plot was really good. It's based of a folktale and then invent some. The theme about war, personal love, achievements, power really came natural into the heart of the movie where every characters all pursue their different goals and met at the same era. Each details have it's own meaning and was an important chain in the plot that later will be shown.

This movie is a 10 for me because it makes me think about a lot of things. It makes me took some time to get back to reality that I'm no longer at their time anymore. Yes, it's that immersive. And to me, those are the qualities I look for in a movie.
