If the Wandering Earth fails, it will be an extremely dark day in the history of Chinese cinema

This is an excellent movie that does not hide its flaws, and it is a movie that deserves to be remembered regardless of its success or failure. Some provocative clips may be felt by some people, yes, I also feel a little bit, and there are some flaws in logic. But overall it's really innocuous, it's really unnecessary to stare at flaws and score a point, right? The viewing experience is very comfortable, and the special effects are really nothing to say. In the past we could say we had great action movies, zombie movies, costume movies. . . But when it comes to sci-fi, it's really embarrassing. Since the 21st century, there seems to be no work that has been taken out. In addition, the Hollywood film industry is extremely mature, and many excellent sci-fi movies can be seen every year. Domestic sci-fi has almost become a hot potato that no one wants to touch. But there are always a bunch of idiots fighting for their dreams. Pessimistic people are often right, but maybe optimistic people can get the future? Thanks to Director Guo for photographing the Wandering Earth for us, maybe it is not perfect, maybe it will not be successful? But as the movie says "We choose hope!" If everyone doesn't want to take that first step, how many years will our generation have to wait to see our own sci-fi masterpiece?

Many fans of the original book feel that it has been adapted without the depth of the original book. Let's not say whether it was given according to the original ending, are you sure that it is suitable for the New Year's Eve of the plot? Besides, this adaptation's description of human nature in despair is not inferior, and Uncle Da's character handling is very well portrayed.

And it's a commercial movie, it's about making money. Do you really expect that the realm of making a movie is high, and the aesthetics of the people across the country will be sublimated? To be honest, whether it's a big Liu fan or a hard sci-fi, or a die-hard stand-alone player, a pc host partisan battle, or the ranking of anime masterpieces. . . We are really just a niche group. Look at the number of Douyin Kuaishou broadcasts and then look at our circle. There are really not so many people in the country who have the same hobby as you. Most of them are melon eaters who follow the trend. Look at the box office of fate movies, and then look at any domestically produced film of the same schedule, the gap is obvious. You can have depth, but don’t worry, let the market recognize it first, and make money, and there will naturally be directors who let themselves go. It’s really not appropriate for every director who makes movies to sell houses all in like Wu Jing, right? Not to mention other types. . . Most sci-fi movies are not cheap. If the Wandering Earth is at a loss this time, even this kind of intentions, don't feed shit, don't invite fresh meat, money is a movie, a movie that is definitely above the passing line, a movie from the industry insiders. The lauded movies are so bad. It was really a very dark day in the history of Chinese cinema.

I hope all the audience and fans can think more about it, I don't say this movie is a masterpiece. But don't eat too much shit, and when you see the rice, you will say it stinks.

    When I walked out of the theater, a girl behind me said three words to her companion: "The plot of this movie is very general, and the high score on the Internet is probably because of the special effects. And why are there so many sensationalities." I agree with her view. This film makes me feel the most insufficiency, that is, the lack of people, humanity, human civilization and humanistic care. I can't see all kinds of people, I can't see human nature with emotions and six desires, and I can't see colorful human civilization. I only see all kinds of bad sci-fi settings, and all kinds of high-tech that are not necessarily brilliant. To the highest level of special effects in domestic films. However, without people, all this is pale. When refugees in "The Day After Tomorrow" argue in the library over whether to burn Nietzsche's books, trying to protect the Gutenberg Bible, a landmark of Western civilization, such details can be awe-inspiring. High civilization is not so pale that only high technology is left. Even at the most critical moment, we still think of some eternal human cultural motifs. Their value transcends little love and love, and also transcends family and country feelings. I am afraid that they are the true meaning of a community with a shared future for mankind. 【Xiantao Drama Corner】

    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, you set fire to it. I feel that all the characters have bad tempers. Not the way a good story should continue. The earth has been pushed around and let’s not talk about the problem of brain holes for the time being. In short, I feel that it can be completely talked about better. There are thousands of movies, and the most important thing is to look good. The ticket price is so expensive, and the wallet has two lines of tears...
