Despite its visual prowess, the film faced criticism for diverging significantly from its source material. While the original novels focus heavily on traditional tomb-robbing and Chinese mysticism, Lu Chuan’s adaptation leans further into the "creature feature" and sci-fi tropes. This shift alienated some core fans of the book series but allowed the film to reach a broader international audience looking for a Hollywood-style blockbuster experience. The narrative often jumps through time, attempting to balance a Cold War-era military mystery with a grander cosmic horror, which occasionally results in a disjointed pacing.
From fiery bats to giant, wolf-like predators, the CGI was ambitious for its time.
