Historical fact blends with high-flying fiction as Jackie Chan steps into dual roles as a determined archeologist and a loyal general of China's first emperor in director Stanley Tong's lavish historical action film. Jack (Chan) is an intrepid archeologist in search of a mythical gemstone that is said to have the power to defy gravity. Though Jack's days are spent traversing the globe with scientist sidekick William (Tony Leung Ka-fai) in hopes of finding the elusive gem, at night in his dreams he assumes the role of General Meng-yi, devoted servant of Emperor Qin Shi-huang. As Jack and William venture to the mystical Heavenly Palace -- a wondrous fortress rumored to have been built by Qin Shi-huang himself -- Jack's vivid nocturnal journeys find him falling head-over-heels for the emperor's comely Korean consort Ok-soo (Kim Hee-seon). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A movie for Jackie Chan fans with some great action sequences featuring his dance like moves and his typical humor.

I was pretty disappointed in this movie. I like so many Jackie Chan movies, but this seemed so preposterous. The ending was terrible. It's almost as if they felt they painted themselves into a corner and didn't know how to get out. There are so many other Jackie Chan movies to watch first!

Warning, this is a love story. Fighting was a bit corney and Jackie wasn't as funny as his other movies. Have to know the way the movie junps from past to present so much made it a bit harder to follow at times. Most of Chan's movies I give 4 & 5 stars, but this is not as good as his others. I didn't much care for the ending either. I walked away from viewing with a bad taste.
