According to Netflix, the film was given a production scale rarely seen in Chinese films and included post-production and special effects work that took two years. That included more than 10,000 specifically-built props and the employment of some 2,000 special effects shots, in addition to a “substantial amount of computer graphics shots.”

But is it woke AF?

That's what's important! A film's gotta be woke!

The movie, a sci-fi epic that tells the story of people trying to save earth from being destroyed by the sun,

Ummm? The earth is being destroyed by the sun? That's a new spin on climate change that no one ever thought of. /Sarc

[Revel]

I would guess that it is also a Chinese Language Film. Reading subscripts takes a lot more effort.

How can the Sun have anything to do with Earth's climate? I mean, really! I was told it is my SUV and all the cow farts from all the beef we eat that has us doomed.

Seriously? The Sun. Oh come on now. This sould like something Alexandria Occassional Cortex would come out with.

[Deaf Smith]

Is this a remake of A Boy And His Dog?

[Larry Lucido]

The plot sounds just crazy enough to work.

Plan 10 from Outer Space. Should see right after dinner at your favorite Chinese restaurant.

Some of these Chinese movies are VERY well done.
One that I was struck by was called, “Operation Red Sea”, about The Chinese Navy and Marines rescuing Chinese citizens in war-torn Yemen, China’s first overseas military combat in a century.

Good story, but the last five minutes is all Propoganda, about the PLAN going up against the US Navy.

[Secret Agent Man]

Story just isn’t that great.

[Zhang Fei]

The problem with a lot of Chinese productions is the script. It’s generally an afterthought. And I’m referring to Hong Kong productions, which are the cream of the crop. Mainland Chinese productions are worse.

Another end-of-the-world movie? The streaming world is loaded with them.

Wandering Earth

[KarlInOhio]

But in a surprise twist the star wakes up and finds out the sun is actually shrinking and the Earth is freezing.

Sounds sort of like the ole BBC series, Space: 1999.

[Maris Crane]

OOOoooooo, yet another destruction of the earth.

That’s all some people think about, I can’t think of a more boring exercise.

In this one I guess China is the only survivor.

Get outta here.

No Godzirra?

“A team of heroes builds “ten thousand stellar engines” to propel earth out of the solar system in the hope of finding a new home in space, kick-starting a 2,500-year-long journey in which humanity fights for the survival of their “wandering earth.””

Talk about suspension of disbelief.

***The movie, a sci-fi epic that tells the story of people trying to save earth from being destroyed by the sun**

Strange, but I remember an episode of TWILIGHT ZONE doing something like this, till then end and the truth is revealed.

[Gene Eric]

>> people trying to save earth from being destroyed by the sun

Controlled atmospheric pollution shield?

[Daniel Ramsey]

This reminds me of the famous sci fi novelist, Edward E ‘Doc’ Smith, who wrote the classic space opera series Skylark of Mars and The Lensmen.

Its a shame Hollywood couldn’t have done this, nope their long term agenda is something else.

And in all honesty i am interested in this film and would look forward to getting an English dubbed Bluray or 4K version.
