Silly nonsense with too many plot holes and an embarrassingly silly idea lifted from the 60's film Gorath where the earth is moved out of the way of an approaching meteor. The difference is that Gorath was fun and this movie was dull and silly.

绝对的佳作，中国科幻电影开天辟地的里程绠。

Wasted opportunity While the setting would leave a lot of space to tell stories about social conflict and other interesting aspects, the filmmakers decided to resort to a standard action plot. Granted, set pieces and effects are well done, but for me the result remains uninteresting, especially regarding the potential of the premise.

I liked it, good special effect, and an ORIGINAL story. I think this is the only movie I've seen where the USA didn't rescue the world, it was a group effect by humanity!

Thank you Director Guo Fan for producing such a good science fiction movie with a very limited budget.

The concept is very cool (same source material author as the Three Body Problem). The tone though is a bit silly. I think it's probably part of a Chinese cultural comedic style that I don't get -- a sort of slapstick over-the-top exaggeration -- much like there is a certain Japanese style of drama found in anime that doesn't totally resonate with me... but I watch with enjoyment nonetheless. The CGI is great and the action is high energy. It's an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours if you are a sci-fi fan.

How ridiculous impossible the whole fantasy off it is, this movie turns out to be actually a thrilling adventure. Saving the earth from an external threat like the sun is actually contradictory to what it really is, life on earth depends on the sun and the threat comes from greed on this planet. To be united against greed would be more desirable nowadays. But morality aside, this movie is worth the watch.

I watched it 5 times. Each time it makes it a more entertaining and more interesting. If you don't have the life experience of Chinese heroism and or trained in Chinese mythology, you might have difficulty to savour the subtleties of the narrative. By the way, I am M.A. in Chinese studies and well versed in traditional Chinese literature and ancient archive.

Une sacrée déception. N'ayant aucune notion en cinéma, acting, ou science, je n'ai pas eu le courage de compter le nombre d'incohérences scientifiques (des professeurs de physique ont d? s'étouffer à de multiples reprises). Je ne fais pas référence aux créations futures, car c'est le principe de la science-fiction, et pour le coup, il y a de bonnes trouvailles, je trouve. Cependant, la physique de base est bafouée, même un incompétent en physique tel que moi l'a per?u. L'humour est pauvre et forcé, ce qui le rend lourd, cringe, comme diraient certains. Les actions s'encha?nent comme si un enfant racontait ce qu'il s'est passé à l'école : une succession d'actions sans aucun temps de pause ou presque, avec zéro transition. C'est un encha?nement de scènes d'actions entrecoupées de scènes censées être dr?les, mais qui ne font que casser le rythme (s'il y en a un ?).

This movie was filled with incredible special effects: but not much else. It was much too long and the premise itself was flawed by basic physics.

It's is very X1000000000 good

I liked the concept of having to relocate our planet to another solar system, but there's a lot of unanswered questions. Like who got the calculations so wrong that the Earth was going to crash into Jupiter. Really? We can fly a probe over the surface of Pluto so manoeuvring a planet not too close to Jupiter should be a breeze. The movie felt like it was filmed too close to the action all the time, and there were always rocks falling down on them. The English dubbing felt like Monkey Magic. I got sick of "help me" by the end of it. The timing of all the rescue crews turning up at the same time near the end was laughable. Overall it was confusing.

the asians have really taken the movie industry serious and to another level

A great non-Hollywood work, when you are tired of the white-guy-save-the-world-theme.

With a world-scale futuristic premise and spectacular visuals, sci-fi buffs like me would want to like this movie for everything it's got, but its plot, characters and dialogue (no matter what language it's set to) move too fast and illogically to fully appreciate.

Maximum drama and a mixture of clichés that work both in plus and minus

I think that's the beginning

Dialog at the start and finish with 2 hours of people yelling "help me" in between.

Despite the (bad) reviews I think it's an interesting story. It would never win an Oscar, but it's original. Something hard to find these days. Obviously China is not Hollywood, but Chinese productions continue to grow. The special effects have nothing to envy to a Marvel movie. If you're a sci-fi fan, don't expect anything epic, just give it a try.

The creators get an "A" for effort, creativity, monstrous special effects and sheer ambition of a truly mind blowing sci-fi concept. Despite terrible acting and absolute confusion about some of the protagonists that fade in and out of the movie, there actually is a story curve that has a beginning and an end. I'd rather not ask all the unsanswered questions.
