Leave your thoughts about The Wandering Earth.
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsA week after seeing The Wandering Earth, I'm still marveling at how good it is. I can't think of another recent computer-graphics-driven blockbuster that left me feeling this giddy because of its creators' can-do spirit and consummate attention to detail. |
| Austin ChronicleMatthew MonagleThe Wandering Earth is as much a love letter to disaster films as it is a worthy entry in the genre itself. That, combined with some truly eye-popping visuals, makes it a film that should be seen on the biggest screen possible. |
| The VergeTasha RobinsonNo matter how familiar the plot beats feel, that level of attention not just to functional special effects, but to outright beauty, makes The Wandering Earth memorable. |
| VarietyRichard KuipersDirector Frant Gwo’s adaptation of the 2000 novella by Liu Cixin is no genre classic, but its furious pace, spectacular visuals, and fanciful plot deliver decent escapist entertainment. |
| The Hollywood ReporterElizabeth KerrThe visuals prove crucial, as Qi makes for a weak central character. |
| SlateInkoo KangDespite the production’s team of scientist consultants, the physics in The Wandering Earth is probably a lot of hooey. But the film’s world building, which takes up much of its first third, is undeniably novel and fascinating. Rarely does a film brag such a technocratic heart. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergIt is just as awash in murky computer imagery, stupefying exposition and manipulative sentimentality as the average Hollywood tentpole. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichPerhaps no other movie has better illustrated the golden rule of CGI: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. |
| User ReviewDiaz0410As myself about the movie to scenario, if there is a neutron star towards solar system than sun turns a red giant instead, would be really better! |
| User ReviewIcarusoraThis movie is not sci-fi? than what is sci-fi? all the marvel movies? A sci-fi movie doesnt need to be scientific accurate, or there is no good sci-fi movie anymore, all of them are hot trashes |
