As a sci-fi fan, it's disappointing. If you want to get two stars, at best it's a mediocre Hollywood space disaster movie. There is absolutely no super shock as expected, because this film is actually not imaginative. Many of the pictures and plots are transplanted from classic/well-known sci-fi films, and they don't even have their own style. Nothing new can make you feel the awe and dense attraction of mysterious universe exploration. If you are a sci-fi fan who has watched a lot of sci-fi movies, you will not be excited or even tremble at any picture or plot. As a Chinese audience, I think I can still give it three and a half stars. After all, at least the level of special effects has gone up, and at least it won't look too low in front of Hollywood. Overall, this is still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the high-level sci-fi film I expected, which is full of humanities, scientific wisdom and aesthetics. Sigh again, Kubrick is really awesome, Lao Lei is worth kneeling down, and Nolan is really irreplaceable!

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.
