The Restless is set in fantasy world for souls that have passed away long before they are reincarnated. This epic film combines various elements/genres like romance, fantasy, sword plays, martial arts and the never-ending fight between good and evil. The midheaven is a place for to those who have died in the real world but have failed to ascend to heaven.
The Restless cost US$10 million to produce, and it looks like they got all of their money on the screen. The effects are rendered convincingly, and the fantasy world has a crisp, lush feel that looks simply wonderful. However, the costume design and art direction don’t feel that inspired, with some visual concepts seeming similar to those in the 2001 Tsui Hark fantasy mess The Legend of Zu. Also similar to Zu, The Restless possesses a story and characters that have a hard time connecting with the viewer. There’s good and evil, love and hate, life and death, but it all seems perfunctory instead of convincing. Despite its status as a fantasy film, The Restless is unimaginative, and delivers little that is outstanding or memorable. At least with a film like The Legend of Zu – or even Chen Kaige’s maligned The Promise – some concepts, moments or sequences managed to resonate or entertain, even if that entertainment was of the unintentional and hilarious variety. Sadly, some Promise-style camp would only have improved The Restless.
