this gives a new meaning to sci-fi. I like how it's not like a big superhero; the other people are nobodies, but everyone plays a part. this movie is like a 3 in 1. the engineers, scientists, and politicians. they could be separate but addthis gives a new meaning to sci-fi.

I like the overarching theme of humanity coming together and doing whatever it takes to survive. Everyone is a hero and willing to make sacrifices to ensure humanity's survival. I find the criticism of some that this is Chinese propaganda unwarranted, it's not just China saving the world, it's people from all nationalities and backgrounds putting aside their differences for once and saving the world together. All of that is great. As is fact that the story resolves over several decades throughout several big megaprojects.

I have several gripes with the movie however which result in a low score.

First, the film's pacing is hyperactive, making it very difficult to follow the rather complex story. I love a complicated plot, but the movie felt like one long Youtube trailer played at 150% speed jumping from one action scene to the next, without much in the way of a long term overarching plot that slowly stacks up the pieces and accumulates into a satisfying delayed payoff. It feels very much tailored to the Tik-tok generation that has no attention span and needs constant gratification by leading them through a series of hard to follow shaky-cam action scenes and explosions. There is no meaningful dialogue or character building whatsoever.

Second, it's a science fiction movie and it seems to try to get the science part right, but then has lots of implausible things going on such as the moon suddenly heading for a collision with Earth, after they have spent months or even years pushing it away from Earth. It'd need the same amount of force as they have been pumping into it over all this time to decelerate it, and then some more, to make it crash down somehow. There are several other cases besides this such as automated drone missiles needing a manual detonation, that were really throwing me off.

I couldn't put my finger on the third negative point I'm about to raise for a while, but after thinking through it again over the night I realized that my biggest problem with this movie is that it is rather dystopian and I end up hating humanity rather than cheering for their triumph. There is a global government that supposedly does what it needs to do in order for humanity to survive, but at the same time oppressing the people of Earth and forcing the same people into a life not worth living.

We are told early on that there is tech available to upload or at least preserve people in digital form and the government is withholding it from the people. While at the same time, the people are rendered unemployed due to AI and automation, half are left to die from radiation sickness and other calamities, and the heroic ones are constantly sent to their deaths on strings of dangerous and end-of-life missions.

The Earth itself is seen as being destroyed due to the megaprojects, climate change, the Earth being moved around and problems with the sun and most natural life is mentioned to be extinct at some point.

If the people are left to die and suffer on such massive scale and Earth is so thoroughly ruined, then what's the point of carrying it all to Proxima Centauri?

Just upload everyone and put them on the oversized USB-sticks, get the DNA of all people and plants and animals, launch all of humanity to Proxima at a fraction of the cost, and let the AI build a paradise for us. Recreating physical bodies from DNA should be a non-issue at the rest of the tech level that is being displayed throughout the movie.

We are told that the government is afraid of the upload tech because they fear that people will just want to live digitally and not do anything in the physical world, well if it is such a big motivator why not use it as a reward for all the people that do the actual heavy lifting, like you know, risking their lives and dying by the hundreds to save the rest of humanity? It'd be perfect for ensuring the people's loyalty to the state as well so it'd be in the state's own self-interest to push this tech forward and roll it out to the masses.

Digital Life or lie flat! Will not work for a self-destructive regime that withholds immortality, torments humanity and just gives its heroes a stupid medal and two bags of fruit!… Expand

Compared to avatar 2, the overall story and storytelling of this movie are superior. But the visuals certainly are not as stunning. If avatar 2 is rated as 6, this would be a solid 8.

If you have the oppotunity to enjoy it in IMAX cinema, you'll love it. The bomb on the moon, the space elevator, the fallen space station, the music, everything is so cool. I really want to go back and watch the film again just after I finished it.

There's almost no verbose elements in this 170 minutes film, the only moment which you can go to the toliet is the 2 mins Liu peel an apple to her wife, take the chance.

Our future is the galaxy, don't focus on the arguments between the countries, we, human, should spot outside our planet.

Try it, you'll like it.… Expand

The movie started off slow and appears to be incoherent, but it all comes together in the 3rd act of the movie and it is a worthy prequal and ties up superbly to the first movie, which was a great watch aswell. This is not your typical spaceThe movie started off slow and appears to be incoherent, but it all comes together in the 3rd act of the movie and it is a worthy prequal and ties up superbly to the first movie, which was a great watch aswell. This is not your typical space battle laser guns sci-fi movie. This has a far more intelligent storyline that makes you think how future human civilization and its technology can turn out be and what humanity as a whole is capable of doing in order to survive. It provided great concepts as what space colonization and artificial intelligence can do. It's a disaster movie on an epic grand scale like we haven't seen before, it's basically a space opera, with a Night Shymalan type of plot twist at the end.… Expand

Great sci-fi movie. The collectivism showed in the movie really moved me. Only human beings can save themselves, not super heroes, not iron man, not American Captain.

LMAO these negative reviews be like "USA saves the world good good, China saves the world bad bad". If all you see from the movie is "CCP blahblahblah" then YOU are the one that has been brainwashed.

This is a film depicting China and Russia saving the world. The film is mixed with various propaganda techniques unique to the CCP. Obviously the movie tries to allude to the current situation of China and Russia vs. NATO and Ukraine. It is not new in history to compete for the leadership of the world under the banner of uniting all mankind, such as Imperial Japan's slogan of "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity" during World War II. Unfortunately, the former victim is becoming a perpetrator now.… Expand

Didn't have too high of expectations, but indeed turns out to be much better than I thought, a better movie than the first one of the series. Funny how the only negative review with a comment right now describes it as CCP propaganda of ChinaDidn't have too high of expectations, but indeed turns out to be much better than I thought, a better movie than the first one of the series. Funny how the only negative review with a comment right now describes it as CCP propaganda of China and Russia saving the world (just like how some certain propaganda media describes it to be)while in both movies of the series, it has always been every one of all countries united together saving the world(you can watch the first one of the series in Netflix btw). Since this is a Chinese movie unfortunately there will be more reviews/comments based on the bias on "China Bad" instead of the movie itself. So even though I am writing this review but I do suggest if you are interested in the movie, instead of looking for the comments/reviews, it's better just to watch it and decide what kinda movie this is yourself.

I do recommend checking analyze of the movie if you can after you watch it though, the story is rather complex, and I think probably most people will miss at least some details of what happened in the movie after the first time they watch it… Expand

It gets rid of the narrow western ideology and gives a Chinese version story of how to save the world.

I mean, it is, by far, the greatest hard-core Sci-fi movie in the past decade and will go down in history. The idea that humanity would unite as one and endure 2500 years, 100 generations, before finding a new home in the Proxima Centauri system as our very own Sun go through a helium flash is purely remarkable, and this film further expands on people’s struggle and faith as such a bold decision is made. The CGI are also spectacular - the Space elevator was breathtaking and absolutely astonishing. Looking at their behind-the-scenes, a majority of the set and props were actually built rather than purely using CGI, which creates a more immersive experience for the audience.… Expand
