The Wandering Earth II

One of the best i've erver seen.

Ambitious in scope even if tedious at times, a good demonstration of the kind of patience and long-term view it takes to overcome a monumental multigenerational challenge.

THE WANDERING EARTH II embodies a cinematic rarity of recent years: a global perspective intricately woven with a heartfelt humanism. Its mastery lies not only in captivating audiences with exquisite visual effects but also in seamlessly interlacing three narratives within its expansive three-hour duration, devoid of any superfluousness. With meticulous precision, it constructs a vivid tapestry of detail, transporting viewers into a realm of immersive cinematic experience.

It's one of my favorite movies, definitely will watch it again in theater.

Mehr Science Fiction kann man wohl kaum in einem Film packen! Dieser Film ist Umwelten besser als der erste Teil, ein absolutes Science-Fiction Spektakel der Extraklasse! Man wünscht sich wirklich mehr solche erstklassigen gemachten Filme! Super CGI super Effekte - ein toller Film!

An absolutely epic sci-fi. There is so much going on in this prequel to the first Wandering Earth. It's one of those times when a prequel surpasses the original, and not because this is some sort of superhero origin story type prequel. This takes the catastrophe that brings about the wandering earth back to its origins, and we get to see how this sort of crisis changes society forever. While the story seems quite simple and even unoriginal for a sci-fi (major earth catastrophe, can no longer sustain life in current conditions, science must come to the rescue) the solution to the problem and the intricacies in solving it, as well as all the failures and close calls along the way, make for a very engrossing action movie. They also weave in some really effective foreshadowing for what you already know is coming in the original movie but it feels foreboding nonetheless. The special effects are top of the line and the way the story is told through various countdowns, like mini-chapters, keeps engagement high. The AI development and the implicit commentary that comes with is also quite good. The one major downside to this movie (and it is quite major) is that almost all of the speaking parts that aren't in Chinese are overdubbed in such a ridiculous fashion. They don't seem to employ any sort of dubbing technique... no phrase-syncing, lip-syncing, or even time-syncing. It's just <i>off</i>, and sometimes incredibly so. And some of the voice performances they get in both English and Russian are just the most ridiculous caricatures. It's annoying and distracting and I could see it making the movie unwatchable for some. For the sci-fi nerds out there like me though, it's worth putting up with in order to see this very cool story and its impressive visuals.

the 'yeah right' feeling in this disproportional realistic fantasyworld, kept me from really enjoying the, apparently, cheap to acquire visual effects. Even though the movie is good enough to enjoy, a follow up on Wandering Earth would have been more appreciated here instead of this prequal. It seems the makers are trying hard to find out, what the writer was really thinking coming up with all this bs, and if he should have had instead devoted his time to manga, marvell or it's chinese equivalent.

This movie is ok but there is serious vote manipulation happening to give it such a high rating. This is definitely not one of the best movies that the world has ever made, lol.

I loved it. Every part of it. I wish it was in English as I struggled to enjoy the movie and read the subtitles fast enough. Spectacular
