    Three points: first, this is a film dedicated to programmers; second, if it can be modified, the music can actually be added; third, this is basically a film of Liu Cixin as Xin Haicheng (but think about the difference not that big).

    No matter from any standard (science fiction, Chinese, Chinese science fiction), it cannot be called a qualified film. Seriously over-edited, this typical 2D action film editing method is simply nonsense when used in this 3D sci-fi film with a more complex spatial structure. The space and movement performance are extremely unclear, the axes are chaotic, can anyone see what happened when Wu Mengda died while transporting the flint? Too tight close-ups and too large vistas are often mistakenly inserted, completely failing to anchor the viewer's attention without the direction of movement being inconsistent and the absence of effective chiaroscuro. There are only a few consecutive long shots in the whole film, which makes the space feel clear, but the construction spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers is really laborious. Whenever the camera is pulled away, the human language continues unchanged, as if watching a light-hearted youth film. In the final analysis, this audio-visual method is completely incapable of handling Liu Cixin's galaxy-scale super-omniscient narrative.
