The future will be decided.
In the early third century, the land of Wu is invaded by the warlord Cao Cao and his million soldiers. The ruler of Wu, Sun Quan, calls on the rival warlord Liu Bei for help, but their two armies are still badly outnumbered. However, the Wu strategist Zhou Yu sees that Cao Cao's army is unused to battling on the sea, which may just give them a chance if they can exploit this weakness properly.

Red Cliff is a huge undertaking: featuring massive set pieces and asurprising lack of CGI this is stirring stuff which works very well.
From the opening scenes to the closing John Woo concentrates ondelivering a historical epic with pomp.
With good insight to the politics and intrigues that lead to thebattles with excellent central characters this was for my money as goodas Hero and others from recent years.
If you enjoy epic new Chinese cinema with real traditional values youwill really enjoy this; if you enjoyed Nraveheart or Arn you willdefinitely enjoy this.
The battle scenes are quite explicit for a Chinese film – but not aJOhn Woo film – but it is mainly spurting blood and we did not find itgrotesque.
Overall the scale of Red Cliff and the set pieces make this a winner -definitely worth the view.
