A week after seeing The Wandering Earth, I'm still marveling at how good it is. I can't think of another recent computer-graphics-driven blockbuster that left me feeling this giddy because of its creators' can-do spirit and consummate attention to detail.
The Wandering Earth is as much a love letter to disaster films as it is a worthy entry in the genre itself. That, combined with some truly eye-popping visuals, makes it a film that should be seen on the biggest screen possible.

No matter how familiar the plot beats feel, that level of attention not just to functional special effects, but to outright beauty, makes The Wandering Earth memorable.
The visuals prove crucial, as Qi makes for a weak central character.
Despite the production’s team of scientist consultants, the physics in The Wandering Earth is probably a lot of hooey. But the film’s world building, which takes up much of its first third, is undeniably novel and fascinating. Rarely does a film brag such a technocratic heart.
It is just as awash in murky computer imagery, stupefying exposition and manipulative sentimentality as the average Hollywood tentpole.
Perhaps no other movie has better illustrated the golden rule of CGI: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
This was a decent sci-fi action movie in the likes of Armageddon or Deep Impact. With grand special effects and scenery. Wu Jing the lead character did a pretty good job at dramatic acting, while normally he is known for his martial art movies, but in Wolf Warrior we got a glimpse that he can act the actionhero drama aswell.
I read The Wandering Earth short story from chinese award winning sci-fi author Cixin Liu, and how this film ended we are in for more and probably a sequel. The journey to Proxima Centauri is set to be 2500 years, spanning 100 generations, if done well, thats bound to leave room for more stories and maybe a starting point for a franchise!
Report
Maximum drama and a mixture of clichés that work both in plus and minus. It was very beautiful to look at Jupiter in the sky.
Report
I didn't like the movie that much because it just seemed like a bunch of Chinese propaganda they were making the Americans be nasty stupid and dumb instead of taking the film and bringing the world together. The Russians and the Chinese were all the heroes and the Americans were all against Chinese dream world
