Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny : Why NZ filming location?
Re: Why NZ filming location?
I believe companies get tax breaks to film here. Plus good scenery and, thanks to Peter Jackson primarily, there are decent studios and effects companies here now.

So that's why it felt more like Middle Earth rather than Ancient China. I was watching the movie and I couldn't stop thinking something was off. I liked the scenery in the movie, but it never felt like it was China at any point.

I wonder if they were aiming for the same sort of look as LOTR - I haven't seen this film yet so cant judge. Things like The Shannara Chronicles film here and I can see them ape some LOTR locations... whereas things like The Last Samurai, Slow West, even Ash v The Evil Dead manage to find very different locations to use.

I figured as much. Thanks to all who answered.

The background looked like generic CGI. It has the green screen feel that Sin City has. Hated the cinematography 😡
