Some feelings

Words that keep flashing through my mind. Utilitarianism, the good of most people; individual hero: indifferent Creator, eternal history; the value of liberal arts students once again useless hahaha (archaeological pictures count?) The movie's been showing a problem: if you are a train conductor, two tracks, one above two people, one above ten people, where do you want to press. This is also the teacher repeatedly in that phrase "fair". From Liu Peiqiang shut his teammates out of the door to fight with the people who destroyed the space elevator, to Han Doduo to give his son's father a place in the dungeon, to his escape to give up his position to others, to over 50 years old to detonate the nuclear bomb. I can't help but wonder if someone is evil if he goes against the good of most people.

The red light that keeps flashing on 550W, that is the relentless monitor, like our Creator. It doesn't matter what humans think at this moment, our joys and sorrows, nor our hopes for the future. We are merely a part of history.

The final quote from Moss, "The optimal solution to save mankind is to destroy mankind," is a terrible thing to think about.

If destruction is the optimal solution for history, human beings will definitely try their best to avoid destruction, even if the end is the same.

This reminds me of another short story written by Daliu, Cretaceous Past, the story of the destruction of dinosaurs.

A visual treat for sci-fi blockbuster fans

If you are a fan of science fiction films, action blockbuster films, or both, then this movie is for you. This movie takes the usual Hollywood sci-fi movie tropes and puts a unique Chinese spin on them. Without getting into details, it's about a group of scientists and astronauts trying to save the world from imminent destruction while governments disagree on the best course of action. The movie takes us on a wild ride as teams of unlikely heroes face moral dilemmas and make sacrifices to secure the future of mankind. At its core, the film delivers a hopeful message about the power of humanity when we work together to solve problems - a message that is sorely needed in the current times.

Pros: Jaw-dropping action sequences, slick CGI and some thought-provoking technological and philosophical concepts that will make you think about where humanity is headed in the future. Themes such as AI and automation, our increasing dependence on technology, the meaning of human existence and mortality, and the future of civilization, provide plenty of food for thought. There is also a major plot twist in the third act that you will not see coming, so stay tuned till the end, especially during the credits (there's an Easter egg scene that hints at a possible third installment to this franchise).

Cons: The movie is bit lengthy, at nearly 3 hours, so make sure you avoid drinking a lot of fluids before or during the movie. (Apparently the director already cut 80 minutes out of the movie, so it really was the equivalent of two movies packed into one.) Also, because the movie is multilingual, some languages are dubbed weirdly in some scenes, but it's easy to overlook this because you'll be too busy marvelling at the visuals or trying to keep up with all the action sequences.

Conclusion: If you are a fan of sci-fi action blockbusters then this movie is for you. Definitely do not miss it in cinemas - this is a movie that needs to be seen on the big screen.

Better than Earth1 and expect for the next

Earth 2 has no ridiculous young man to do stupid things like in Earth 1, characters do the best to solve problems. Performers did their best in characterizing, and the story makes the Wandering Earth Project more reasonable. But personally, it has some cons:

1. Obvious post dubbing. Many characters talk in different mouth shapes, especially the black boy like he was talkin English but pronounced the others. These scenes quite disturb the watching.

2. The data and the effects of Earth Engines seems not right. It's not spoilers but if you started Earth suddenly you should have massive earthquakes, huge tsunamis and weather disasters... Oh I'm going to spoil so I have to shut now. Hope you've watched Earth1.

3. You got VR tec android but you ummmm why don't you guys create more operating bots? Oop I didn't spoil I'm talking about the trailers.

Still, I will give 7.5/10 for this movie. Hope they can fix cons and do well in the next. This gonna be a great series.
