User Review
I finally had the chance to sit down and watch the 2019 Chinese movie "The Wandering Earth" (aka "Liu lang di qui") here in 2020. I had heard about the movie, of course, but just never gotten around to actively sitting down to watch it.

So was the wait worth it? Oh yeah. This movie was definitely an epic Chinese production, and the movie was very enjoyable. Sure, you need to fully forget everything about realism, science and probability. This was without a doubt a very entertaining and enjoyable sci-fi adventure, but there was not an ounce of realism in the movie. But hey, hence the purpose of being a movie meant for entertainment and not enlightenment of facts.

I was really surprised with the epic feel that there was to this movie. This easily outdid a lot of Hollywood produced movies. And I was really enjoying the CGI, the props, the sets, the costumes, etc. While the movie failed to have a single ounce of realism in it, it more than made up for that in terms of visuals and pure eye candy.

The storyline was fully and wholeheartedly unrealistic, but it was entertaining. "The Wandering Earth" is a very, very predictable movie, and you knew exactly what would happen a long time before it transpired on the screen. But this overly predictable formula really wasn't a hindrance to the movie.

"The Wandering Earth" also had a good ensemble of casted actors and actresses, whom portrayed their respective characters quite well. And that definitely also contributed a great deal to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

All in all, "The Wandering Earth" was an all-round pleasing movie, and I was more than entertained with it. I am rating it a seven out of ten stars.
