The Louis Koo Tin Lok produced and starred film with Sean Lau Ching Wan and Carina Lau Ka Ling, WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) headed toward HK$ 30 million at the box office after a week in release since its official Hong Kong release on August 25th to yesterday. As the currently largest scale domestic production of science fiction special effect film, it not only received the support of Mainland and Hong Kong viewers but also international praises for the film's quality from the "Father of Gundam", mobile suit designer Okawara Kunio, JURASSIC PARK visual special effect master Mark Dippe and STAR WARS and the 69th Oscar Best Visual Effect award winner for INDEPENDENCE DAY Douglas Smith.

Okawara Kunio said, "I started my machine design career in 1972, so far it has already been 50 years. During that era, because animation was hand drawn I kept searching for a format. It had as few lines as possible, and the designs were simple and easy to understand so that the animation artists would understand the easier. WARRIORS OF FUTURE was able to use 3D and computer special effects to produce such detailed armor. To be able to use this type of special effect production that isn't animation to create such detailed designs, for an animation designer like me I really am very envious of the WARRIORS Of FUTURE production team."

Visual special effect master Mark Dippe said that WARRIORS OF FUTURE was very exciting, the scale, the complexity and the ambitiousness of its visual special effects brought the film to an all new level. In particular the actors and computer special effects created robot battle was awe inspiring.

Douglas Smith also congratulated producer Koo Tin Lok for completing this large scale yet challenging film. He admitted that he knew the production of WARRIORS OF FUTURE took a lot of effort, in addition with many great action scenes containing within.

Receiving praises from three masters of different areas, WARRIORS OF FUTURE's producer Koo Tin Lok said, "Thank you to them and all viewers for their support. I only did what I was supposed to do, ultimately someone has to take the first step and explore even more possibility of the film industry."
