Finally i decided to see the movie. And i did not regret it ^_^. I think the movie was great, i like the story line and also their great effect. Great! But one think i regreted, i disagree with the cast, i think Rachel Weiss was the best Evelyn O'Connell, and it was a big loss not to see her on the film. The son, Alex, played by Luko Ford, was also too old. He almost the same old with his "father" Brendan Frasher, and for me definitely weird! And the film should be longer since parts when Jet i transformed to evil monster seemed a bit too much. When you erase that part, the film won't change, much more like a post it, stick on the film with no effect. They should develop that frame, since the monster just appeared and disappeared and did nothing.

Fun Facts:

- The tomb of the Dragon Emperor with its Terracotta warriors is inspired by the real-life tomb of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. The mausoleum is located in Xi'an, China.
- In the Himalayas, a shot of a running soldier's foot clearly shows sand, not snow.
- General Yang's soldiers are outfitted with AK-47s, but the movie is set in 1947. AK-47s weren't pressed into service until 1949.
