I have watched a few episodes of this drama. It is actually quite interesting.
The story has sprites from different "worlds" which I find not too different from the different sects in the martial world.

I saw 10 minutes of this movie. I have to say the series looks much more interesting. This movie is so heavily CGI with sharp colors that makes it look really fake. I have to say that the series use better CGI than the movie. And also LYF is totally a wrong cast for Bai Qian. her face, acting, is just not suitable at all for the role.

I didn't read the book or watch the series. So, I have nothing to compare this movie to. As an intro movie to the world of 三生三世 for me, it's pretty good. The GCI looks fake at the start, but, it gets better as the story goes and I ended up loving the beautiful scenes the GCI create. LYF and Yang Yang were able to make me care for the characters.
The weak point of the movie is the plot. I have to google for extra info after I came out of the cinema because some of the things in the plot were not explained clearly and it confused me. But, I guess this can't be help because they have to make a long book and series into a short 2 hour movie.
