Featured reviews
Ning Hao is probably the best filmmaker of his generation, and this film Crazy Alien is solid in cinematography, editing, visual effects and score. Also, Shen Teng and Huang Bo are two of China's most talented actors. However, I have to say that the plot is thin and lacks credibility. The story is much worse than that of Crazy Stone or Crazy Racer.
In the effort to make fun, but the laughter is not good enough. The distorted images of aliens and monkeys in the film seem to be trying to say something deeper, but they are too deep.
Hand pine can give four stars. It continues the absurdity of Ning Hao's "Crazy" series of films. It is a farce full of entertainment and mockery of cultural stratum theory. Although the coat is absurd, it criticizes the sense of class and identity differentiation of this era. The transformation from monkey playing little people to aliens and from being looked up to being looked down all reflects the value core of Ning Hao's absurd play. Huang Bo, as the background of the series of "madness", has also revealed his one track, madness and contradictions this time. Perhaps no second person can play "Geng Hao" well; Shen Teng's role is greasy and always beaten by his shrewdness. Ning Hao is very keen to capture the joy behind Shen Teng's "false shrewdness". Generally speaking, it is still qualified. The characterization continues the settings of the first two films, and comedy + science fiction did not fail. Unfortunately, in terms of lens language, Ning Hao has abandoned the previous multi-line narration, and the lens editing is no longer close. The regular editing narration always makes people feel that it is not brilliant. Although it meets the needs of entertainment, it has lost the place where it can be tasted in audio-visual language.
This is a lovely movie. Don't be too strict. Who knows if the humorous style of this movie is the next one wulitou style. Ning Hao is a smart director who understands the tastes of the most ordinary Chinese audience. It's interesting, but it doesn't give up the plot. Not forgetting to salute the classic movies, not forgetting to satirize the society
Good experience to watch and after that, you may want to watch again, which prove that CA is not a comedy. Actually, it embodies huge cutural password. I hope you can understand understand it.

- TriviaPeople for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) released a video by an on-set whistleblower on March 19, 2018, which showed the dog in a cage being lifted by a crane, and thrown into a waterway multiple times. But later it was shown that the video was deliberately edited to mislead the viewer thinking it was an animal abuse. After the PETA video event, director Ning Hao decided to delete that scene from the final film to show the respect, that dog on the set was later adopted by Ning Hao himself.
