Du xing yue qiu

I am currently on holidays and decided to go to the movies. The only science fiction movie I could find currently screening was something called "Moon Man", a Chinese language movie billed as a science fiction comedy. This was about a man stranded on the moon when an emergency causes his colleagues to evacuate their moon base. That was about all I knew about it - that, and that it had done very well at the Chinese box office when it was released earlier this year. I almost didn't go, but am glad I did as I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. It was funny, and moving, and beautifully shot - the SFX and visuals and music were spectacular. It had periods of comedy, periods of groan-and-wait-it-out silliness (who brings a kangaroo to the moon?), and others of well thought out science fiction action. At times it had me laughing aloud, and it even managed to move me to tears at one spot. If I had to nit pick I would mention that they didn't make much of an attempt to simulate lunar gravity, and they had things like vehicles stirring up clouds of dust that hung in the (non-existent) air, but these are minor. The movie was subtitled and there were some signs which did not get translated, some of which looked like they were important to the plot.

There were not very many people in the session I went to (four or five, maybe) and there are not many sessions. Here in Australia it was being screened as part of an Asian film festival. I would recommend it very strongly to any science fiction fan - see it on the big screen if you get the opportunity.

The storyline is quite interesting! The movie is filled with happiness and sadness which touches one's heart very much!

The pace is good! Funny things come and go to keep your boredom away! So even though it's a 122 -minute movie, with the random jokes, you jz don't feel that long at all!

I am impressed by the CGI of the China's production team! All things on the moon and space look so real and so good! China's special effects in movies are rather mature now!

The funny parts are simple and natural, while not the Steven Chow's kinds that are over-done or over-acted. As such, I enjoyed it very much!

Even though the Kangaroo may look rather extra and is a nuisance at the beginning, you will get to accept it and value it at last.

I love the sentimental and human-value of this movie! It touches one's heart very much!

I gave 8 out of 10. It's definitely worth your money watching the cinemas! Trust me, you wouldn't enjoy it if you watch from your TV BOX or LAPPY!! You got to watch it in the cinema in order to enjoy it! Go, Go, Go!!

I had never heard about this 2022 Chinese sci-fi comedy movie titled "Du Xing Yue Qiu" (aka "Moon Man") before sitting down to watch it here in 2023. So I didn't know what I was in for here, and I didn't really have much of any expectations. However, the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough, plus the fact that it was an Asian movie that I hadn't already seen, was more than sufficient to make me sit down and watch it.

Writers Chiyu Zhang, Chenguang Qian, Si'ao Dai, Yuyue Shen and Seok Jo put together a really enjoyable and entertaining script and storyline. And I will say that I was more than genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 122 minutes that the movie ran for. Thumbs up to the writers on the script that they conjured up for "Du Xing Yue Qiu".

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, though I have to say that leading actor Teng Shen (playing Yue) put on a stellar performance and really carried the movie quite well. The entire cast in the movie put on good jobs, thought it was mostly Teng Shen on the screen.

The kangaroo that joined Yue on the screen was also a very lovable character and one that also came to play a big part in the movie. It had so much character and personality that you just can't help but love it.

There is a good amount of comedy, thrills, excitement and character development throughout the 122 minutes that the movie ran for, and director Chiyu Zhang really managed to utilize these elements rather well to build up the story and the characters.

Visually then "Du Xing Yue Qiu" was quite amazing. The special effects and CGI in the movie really were great and added a lot to the overall presentation of the movie. I was really impressed with how great the CGI looked and how realistic it looked. Sure, there were some issues about how gravity, or rather the low gravity, on the moon works, but hey, it wasn't a science-fact movie, now was it?

Regardless of whether you enjoy Chinese cinema or not, then "Du Xing Yue Qiu" is a sci-fi comedy that is well worth sitting down and spending 122 minutes on watching. It really is an amazing surprise of a movie, not to mention a really enjoyable movie as well.

This is without a doubt a movie that I warmly recommend you to sit down and watch, should you get the opportunity to do so. I am not normally overly keen on sci-fi movies in general, but I really genuinely enjoyed this movie from director Chiyu Zhang.

My rating of director Chiyu Zhang's 2022 movie "Du Xing Yue Qiu" lands on an nine out of ten stars.

This movie is AMAZING! 😃 It's a Chinese production, so yeah, it's a bit "weird," but it's really humorous, sweet, and cute. And yet, it's a nice story, and the physics is not as exaggerated as in American productions (although there are still some nonsenses). It looks pretty good, and overall, you believe in those people and the kangaroo (yeah, the kangaroo is the second main character).

The story makes sense, the main characters have clear motivations, and even during heart-wrenching scenes, there are occasional jokes, but they are not forced like in Marvel productions, where they try to squeeze in a joke every two minutes to meet some quota (or whatever, I have no idea why).

As for the visuals and CGI, it's evident that someone with an eye for detail worked on the overall designs and aesthetics. The sets have a somewhat cartoonish feel, yet they remain believable and actually quite beautiful. They have a classic sci-fi look to them.

Overall, I definitely recommend the film. Overlook the fact that it's in Chinese and turn on the subtitles, it's worth it. 8/10.

I didn't expect to like this movie, but it was actually very fun to watch.

It felt like it was on the brink of being unfunny, but still remained funny, which is much more than most movies that I've seen this year. This movie also was moving, but it did feel a bit blown out of proportion.

I actually enjoyed all the stuff with Kong, which i expected to be extremely annoying and stupid.

It was just a fun little movie to watch, that may feel extremely long. For some reason, this film felt like it was like 3 hours long, which was fine, since it was an enjoyable experience.

I would give this a 7/10.
