The story and the acting were mediocre at best. It had the feel of a cheap TV movie despite the decent special effects. But what disappointed me the most was Hei Yan Jing. He is one of my favorite character throughout the franchise and I like the actor who portrayed the role in Tomb of the Sea. But here, the same actor failed to the deliver the way he did in ToS. His performance literally made this movie less enjoyable. And don't get me started on the outfits for the female characters. It made absolutely no sense for them to be wearing super short shorts and mid drift shirts in the middle of bug and leech infested jungle.
