The Great Beast of Mountains and Seas (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

On the way to Xianyou Grandmaster Hunyuan found himself in the Spider Forest and was accidentally swallowed by the thousand-year spider spirit. His disciple Lu Xiaodao killed the spirit but spider's venom penetrated the Hunyuan's body and transformed it in the same spider color. In order to solve this problem the Grandmaser and two his disciples were instructed by the Deer Tong Fairy (Lutong Fairy) to go to Nine Immortals Mountain (Lingxiao Valley of Jiuxian Mountain) in search of the Crescent Lake. On the way, they started a series of ridiculous stories with a group of monsters.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
