I love oikura sodachi
She is best girl. I loved her character the moment she got introduced. The mirror sodachi is also a personality that I love. Must watch
The op song is also pretty good

The Wandering Earth(tWE) is without doubt one of the best sci-fi movies I've ever seen, and not just from the Chinese film industry alone, but worldwide. With a budget of merely 340 million CNY(roughly equal to 50 million USD), this sci-fi masterpiece would crush any other sci-fi movie produced within that budget range.
Although there were some pretty corny moments throughout the movie, a few pieces of dialogue that wasn't really well thought out, and occasional awkward acting(this is forgivable in my opinion since the production team didn't*** spend a fortune to invite celebrities-whose acting abilities might not have been as good as/if not even worse than the present cast-and opted to focus its funding towards more important sectors, i.e. special effects, props, etc...), I enjoyed tWE from the beginning to the very end.
Even though the movie contains some pretty obvious fake physics(just don't question it), and even if the whole movie is dubbed in Chinese(now American sci-fi fans can finally stand in the shoes of foreign language speakers and watch sci-fi films with subtitles in their native tongue just like everybody else), I would definitely recommend this movie to each and every sci-fi lover. This movie is a must watch.

P.S. The production process of this movie was fraught with many impediments, some of which made it almost impossible for the movie to make its way onto the big screens. One these obstacles was when the movie went over budget several times due to its insatiable requirement for the astronomical amounts of special effects(both physical & digital while also ensure the quality), which in itself isn't that big of a problem; however, halfway through production, the original investor(Wanda Films) decided to bail(what a dick move), cutting off all funding and transferring the money to a stupid sequel to some romance movie. This annoying maneuver(dick move) left the production team devastated and penniless, as they had already spent two years planning the movie script and had drawn over 3000 conceptual designs for every single piece of machinery/prop. It would be a pity to just scrap the whole thing, and finding a new film company to fund them would be tough. Just when all hope seemed lost, WuJing, who had just made a fortune off his self directed & starred film "Wolf Warrior 2", decided to step in and provided the much needed "Fire Stone" to save this movie. He was originally invited to be a cameo like character, but then became one of the main characters after his investment.
When I first saw the debut trailer, I was kinda worried that this movie would become "Wolf Warrior 3: Save Planet Earth" because of a scene where the astronauts saluted under the Chinese flag. Thankfully, that proved to not be the case. The biggest reason I didn't like Wolf Warrior 2 was because it's supposed to be an action adventure movie, not a Chinese red education propaganda like documentary (and trust me we have plenty of those in China, if I wanted to see one of those I would've just watched CCTV news instead lol *just kidding*). To those who haven't seen Wolf Warrior 2, it's basically an action movie with the most stereotypical plot/characters I've ever seen(it's kinda special in that way though), and somehow became a smash hit in China, racking up an obscene amount of 5.68 billion CNY, which is roughly equal to 840 million USD. The movie is actually pretty nice if you cut off all parts where you see stereotypical characters and/or the Chinese flag. Oh wait, then the credits will be all that's left. Don't get me wrong, I do not dislike my country. It's just unfitting to see Chinese propaganda everywhere throughout an action adventure movie, especially if it rubs it in your face. FYI: Frank Grillo was the antagonist in WW2. You may know him from "The Purge" series.
TL;DR //While this movie, "The Wandering Earth" is a newcomer to the vast universe of science fiction, just as how tWE is the Chinese film industry's ticket to the "space race", it is a must watch in the book of every sci-fi fan and doesn't fall shy to any other sci-fi epic.//
