The turn of the Chinese movie industry towards the sci-fi genre continues, this time with a much less extravagant approach than “Wandering Earth”, which focuses on social commentary rather than action, in an effort that has already netted Best Film at Fantasporto and Best Sci-Fi at Cinequest and Phoenix Film Festival to the production. Let us take things from the beginning, though.
In a future where all the energy the Earth uses is solar, disaster ensues as soon as the Sun shuts down, leaving the whole world without any source of power. Freelance astronomer Sun Yang, who had predicted that this would happen, finds himself escaping the riots that ensue as soon as the disaster becomes public knowledge, with his neighbor, Chen Mu. Their destination is District Four, where refugee camps have been set. The trip though, is anything but smooth, while humanity’s future is put in jeopardy.
