Liu Lang Di Qiu plot
The sun is dying. The extinction process is preceded by an expansion of the sun, which will cause the temperature on earth to rise to above 100 degrees. To save human civilization, scientists devise an escape plan that will bring all of humanity to safety. With the help of thousands of infusion engines, planet Earth leaves the solar system and embarks on a 2,500-year journey to the orbit of a star 4.5 light-years away.

Not too good.
I see the actors' exaggerated acting as I think it will be appreciated China. But from my perspective, the acting is subpar. It's like I'm watching a newscast from North Korea. And the music sauce also contributes to this.
I forgive the filmmakers for the nationalistic stuff. However, it seems rather clumsy that a Russian is allowed to participate somewhere and on the sidelines Israel and France.
The CGI are primitive. Computer games do better.
A nice idea is a synchronous translator. Not a distant future, I think.
By the way, my compliments to the actors who must have worked in this green/blue screen environment.
Now I really have a soft spot for SciFi, but this spectacle raises a lot of questions.
The idea of taking the Earth out of its orbit around the sun is not new, but taking it to another solar system is new to me. Great idea, albeit absurd.
Fun to watch, but won't stay with me.

The starting point is very ambitious and also something that is right up my alley. In the end, the film suffers from too big ambitions and too low a budget. Where in Hollywood these types of films do with at least 200 million dollars, the Wandering Earth does with 50 million. And that can be seen. The space shots all look fine, but the CGI on Earth is occasionally of a questionable level. I wonder how it would have looked on a big cinema screen. The Chinese public didn't care about this, because they came en masse.
It's still a mediocre movie. The characters are portrayed very blandly and the switching back and forth between the personal moments and the many wide shots of the biggest event still create too much of a contrast.
China is nothing but Hollywood in that respect, but a little less. The music is so bombastic and melodramatic that it occasionally makes you laugh. Fortunately, the actors did not have a major disturbing factor and they often wore helmets. Should there be a sequel, show Earth nesting in the new system.
So what did I enjoy the most? To end it positively. The whole premise and some very nicely done shots of Earth and Jupiter.
2.5*

The only thing this movie is good at is special effects and burning a big budget. Everything else is worthless; no depth, no dialogues, no emotion, no tension. It is a succession of short and fast scenes that rest almost entirely on CGI. At no time is anything thought about or explored in depth. I never had to laugh or feel any tension or emotion. The actors are simply always too short to show good acting. Here and there there is shouting when someone dies or randomly shoots out of anger, but this doesn't hit any nerve.
I'm afraid we're going to get a lot of superficial movies like this from China's Hollywood in the future. Give me a Chinese epic with many actors in beautiful clothes instead of this computer animation.
