25 - The Sorceror and the White Serpent (2011)

Also called The Emperor and the White Snake or "Bai she chuan shuo"

I like Chinese fantasy films with elaborate fights and lots of special effects. Seeing the trailer on YouTube, I found this fun film online.

Here a master monk searches out evil demons to destroy. His assistant gets kidnapped by a demon and eventually changes into one. White and green serpent demon sisters see a handsome young doctor gathering herbs and the white serpent falls in love with him. She makes an attempt to keep their love forever.

The effects are pretty good and the eventual battle between good and evil allos for philosophical musings along with good special effects.
