    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The first live-action Astérix film to be a fully original story not based on one or several of the comic books. Previously, the animated films The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (1976) and Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion (2018) were also original stories, although the former was written and co-directed by Astérix creators René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo.
    • Goofs
      Obélix and Tatane look at the sunset in front of them from the prow of the ship currently in the Indian Ocean and going from Egypt to China, i.e. going East. But the sun sets in the West, so they should be looking at the sunset from the other side of the ship, the stern.
    • Crazy credits
      No Roman was mistreated during the filming.
    • Connections
      Follows Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar (1999)

    Not bad not great
    Not sure why there is so much hate in other reviews to be honest.

    It wasn't perfect or the funniest thing ever and it did go on a bit longer than needed with a lot of sequences that could be removed. I think some moments needed a bit extra time than what it was given. It cut back and forth in a bit weird way and didn't have a good flow

    They did play around with the names as jokes which worked good mostly, Zlatan's cameo was funny for those who understood basic soccer. A bit of adult humor too and some parallels with modern technology.

    Overall it was a pretty good and relaxing movie to watch.
