      Wander your hammer!

      before watching

      Seeing such two-level reviews, I chose to trust my friends who gave low scores. I was really curious about how I would stand in line, so I hurried to watch it, and it was released in Melbourne for a few days. Before I went, I thought it would not be too bad.

      I'm the kind of person who just slaps it when I see pink, and gives one star if I haven't seen Wolf Warrior 2. For Wu Jing who said that he hates the kind of person who...

      Science fiction is a hope

      On the first day of the first lunar month, I watched "The Wandering Earth".

      When the subtitles from the production staff were finished, the lights in the theater were turned on, and a few people were still sobbing around. This was a scene I had never seen in watching a movie in all these years. When I came out of the theater, my thoughts were rolling and I couldn't help myself. I thought of...

      Four stars, but: the characters serve the stalks, which is a worse existence than the Spring Festival Gala sketch

      Chatting with friends about "The Wandering Earth", he is a die-hard fan of the original author, so it is difficult to accept some of my comments. I give it four stars, but there are a lot of criticisms. Regarding my criticism, he insisted that "you do what you want", but I couldn't answer. Shooting science fiction, then I definitely can't. After thinking about it for the past two days, I should still put forward my own views on some places where I can do it.

      Not much to say...

      Science fiction movies must have souls

      For a long time, Chinese audiences seem to have formed an impression that "Chinese science fiction films are difficult to make well". In fact, if you watch too many sci-fi movies, you will find that the word "China" can be removed, even if there are not so many excellent sci-fi movies made in Hollywood, Europeans themselves do not like sci-fi movies very much. Science fiction films impress us even more, but Korean science fiction films seem to have a relatively high success rate. In the...

      I beg "Human Day" not to be high-end black

      The infinite emphasis on the first year of "science fiction" might as well be seen as another raising of the ceiling of China's top production, another possibility (actually multiple, more disaster films) of genre films in China. It is built on the foundation of Chinese and foreign predecessors. From any point of view, it is a brave and successful attempt to establish a Chinese film industry system. It is comparable to the "Wandering Earth" plan in itself (Da Liu Fan burst into tears at the...

      2.5 Encourage it to pull up. Not useless, of course, but looked anxious. In fact, in sci-fi movies, humans should be space warriors or be full of awe and have not said what it must be. But no matter what emotion needs to be conveyed in the end, even if it is the simplest relatives who want to meet again, they need to gradually let the audience develop empathy. In this movie, if you get stuck, you break it, if you get stuck, you kick it, if you are in a hurry, you shout, and if you are upset,...
