How is "The Wandering Earth" similar or different from mainstream Hollywood sci-fi movies?

1. Does it look cool? It's cool. Is the ticket worth it? value. Then five stars are no nonsense, and it's not because domestic movies take care of one star or the like. Personally, I prefer to watch disaster films, so "The Day After Tomorrow", "2012" and Dwayne Johnson's Battle of Heaven and Earth all scored above 4 points, which are for reference only.

2. Is there any physics in the film? pull. But it's not more bullshit than "The Day After Tomorrow" or "Interstellar", at least it's something that is within the current theoretical scope and is possible in engineering, rather than something like anti-gravity super-speed of light. Planetary-scale environmental changes can at least be seen in the movie as a whole, and "Interstellar" is basically just a little bit of trouble.

2.1. The most physically intertwined place is probably the relative size of Jupiter and the Earth. Also, Jupiter has at least four moons that are about the size of the moon. It seems that there are none in the movie? At least I didn't see it.

2.2. One more thing, why does the earth have to stop when it is pushed away from the earth? Wouldn't it be easier to start the engine alternately? Of course, this is the original setting and I can't blame the director.

(Additionally, the planetary engine does not need to stop as long as the earth is arranged as shown)

3. The third new Beijing, crossed out, the third underground city in Beijing; the ice and snow world on the ground, the navigator space station, the things that are set to be displayed, are they all expressed by technical means? All showed up. Wasteland does not lose "Pacific Rim", and drag racing does not lose "mad max".

4. The second-year junior high school student, a girl in red, a friend from the sky, and the director is an EVA incense party. The evidence is conclusive.

5. The father-son line of heaven and earth is of course similar to "Interstellar", but at least there is no paradox such as time and space. Of course, at the beginning, I confessed that the father and son hadn't spoken for more than ten years, and they took out a calling card from the other hand, which seemed to be unable to justify it.

6. The magic capital finally appeared in the disaster film. It is exciting. The Shanghai Center is used to overthrow it.

7. Although programmers can save the world, but without hardware engineers to give you racking, programmers are useful?

8. Finally, please broadcast this movie widely on Trisolaris, and let them bring their own planets with them when they come. I don't want to live in Australia!

===================================================== ==

After the second brush, add a difference:

In this drama, the first generation of Han Duoduo has very few scenes. Of course, according to Da Liu's original work, it is almost over.

In Hollywood dramas, the male protagonist almost always pretends to have an ex-wife/dead wife who is longing for his heart. Most of the development of the plot is driven by Libido, and most of the ex-wife will reunite after the death of the current acquaintance, including but not limited to "Independence Day", "2012", "Doomsday", "Inception", "Sora" Rees, etc., etc.

So will there be a scene between Liu Peiqiang and Duoduo's class teacher in the director's cut?
