1. Great acting at least by the legendary actors 2. Okay CGI 3. Superb sci-fi idea But the film still flops so hard.

The special effects are beautiful but unconvincing. The main characters are unlikeable, the science is absurd, the story is predictable and the movie is funnier than it was meant to be. But at least you can't really say it was boring.

****China's first big science fiction movie, so beautiful!**** This movie is adapted from his novel of the same name. To be honest,it didn't disappoint me.I'm sure you've never seen a science fiction Chinese movie like this!. The idea of running away with the planet is so crazy, but so beautiful! The film shows the Chinese people's unique feelings towards their home,family and land.And it does not display individualism like the Hollywood superhero movies, nor does it publicize any political idea, but only the courage and unwilling to be destroyed when facing a desperate situation. Although I don't like Jing Wu's "Wolf warrior", as far as his performance in "Wandering earth" is concerned, well done! I recommend you to watch it. You'll never forget it. My Score: 6/10

Great SFX but you need to leave your 'reality meter' at the door. The premise is silly but I enjoyed it until it was getting too convoluted towards the end when so many unnecessary problems kept happening and needing everyone to once again race off somewhere else to get stuff fixed. It wasn't a boring movie but was 30 minutes too long.

I just watched this on Netflix. I did not have any expectations going into it. It was not very good, unfortunately.

Main reasons were that 8t was over-the-top from start to finish. Epic scene after epic scene without much supporting context. I think it can work in some cases but I dknt think it d More
