The Wandering Earth (Liu lang di qiu) well you were accustomed to Americans saving the world from a variety of disasters all these years. In this film it is the Chinese who save the world (with a little international help but still the majority of the brain and body work is done by our intrepid Chinese heroes and you know what? It was not that unwelcome a change. Oh the formula is still the same (separated family, devestating threat, sacrifices all around and eventually the triumph of human spirit) the whole thing reminded me of a much more intelligent Armageddon without the romance. Because yes, when the stakes are that high, romance is not the number one priority in everybody's mind. I liked it, cried during despite not expecting to.
