    This time, it's really not Wu Jing's fault, but the whole team's fault! The first half is embarrassing, and the second half is forcibly teased. The director's editing and rhythm have caught up with all kinds of pen fairy and dish fairy. I thought the special effects would be dazzling, but the whole cg effect is not satisfactory, so to speak This movie is a sci-fi movie, rather it is a human relationship movie. The tear-jerking part is to make the sci-fi movie look less rigid. Oh, I will go, this reminder is even more embarrassing! The acting is also responsible for Uncle Da! So I really did my best to give one star!

    Looking at the trailer, I thought it was a high-concept, low-cost work, but it exceeded expectations. The plot is bloody, the imagination is amazing, and the pictures are magnificent. It is a hardcore sci-fi movie with a high degree of completion. This is probably the first time that the Chinese have led all mankind to save the world on the screen. Let me sum up the plot in one sentence: "Fireworks and firecrackers save the earth". There are many stereotypes about the Other, which is where we need to learn more from anthropology in the future. What intrigues me most is that we can finally film disaster apocalypse ourselves, which in itself opens the door to envisioning an alternative social order. The main disadvantage is that the setting is not perfect, and the narrative is biased, but after all, this is a new starting point for Chinese science fiction films, which is worthy of joy!
