    After watching this movie, my biggest feeling is to get a glimpse of the original: the setting is really fascinating - huge underground city; dusty secrets; dim lights; big generators; messengers running around delivering messages . . . which caters almost to all the bizarre and crazy dreams of a restless child. It's a pity that the movie is too well-organized, telling a wonderful story in a smooth and calm manner. There is no place in the whole film that makes your heart beat faster. Can't...

    In a dystopian formal script, there are two dog men and women with deep fame and merit. After getting the true story, they fled from Shengtian and threw the egg to Robbins in an attempt to get him out of prison again. It's like a role-playing game, in a series of dialogues and puzzle solving [Encounter Monsters] escape the first episode. The pictures and scripts are actually pretty good. One question is why people who don’t live in the sun have such good skin, not even pale at all, it seems...

    Three and a half. Very good-looking science fiction film, very creative, very fairy tale. The film depicts the appearance of an underground city very well, successfully establishing a unique worldview. However, the latter part of the film is somewhat reduced to a simple treasure hunt, and the plot is not strong. There is also no mention in the movie why humans should hide underground. . Hope to publish the second part. ....
