Wandering Earth Movie on Netflix - Great CGI & Close Encounter w/ Jupiter!

[quad]

I did not expect much when I started watching this movie but they did a phenomenal job with the CGI. The movie is quite epic with a crazy storyline! I think Netflix trimmed the original movie time down after they acquired the rights to stream it. I'd be interested to see the full length version.

The premise is the Sun enters a red giant phase sooner than expected and it is decided to move the Earth out of the Solar System to Alpha Centauri, a star that is 4.37 light years from Earth. The whole journey would take 2500 years and they would use Jupiter's gravity to boost their speed. Well they get the Earth moving but miscalculated and Earth is on a collision course with Jupiter and fast approaching the Roche limit where it will break apart and become an asteroid belt of Jupiter!

Watch this in the original Chinese w/ subtitles.

It looks interesting, but I'd prefer it be dubbed in English.

Hit or miss. Annoying trying to read subtitles in a heavy visual movie like this. But the lips not matching to the audio ruins movies for me sometimes. It's like the uncanny valley with CGI people. Off juuust enough to register in my brain as "off or wrong" and ruin the whole thing.

Yea watching "Dark" on netflix was tough at times due to that.
Especially when Netflix would translate the audio to english and it wouldn't even match their own subtitles.

You have the option to watch it in dubbed English on Netflix. Apparently the dubbing is pretty good. I might watch it again in English. It is the second highest grossing film of all time in China. They have already announced a sequel to be released in December 2023.

Yeah, can't remember if it was Amazon or Netflix but an iRobot type series that looked good, think it was Russian. Dubbing was so off it almost made you nauseous. Just ****ed with my perception too much.

Aliens: What the hell is that thing in front of us?
Aliens captain: WTF, who are they? they are on a collision course with us!

Earthlings UEG: Please divert your course 15 degrees to your right side to avoid a collision.

Aliens captain: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to your right side to avoid a collision.

This was a TERRIBLE movie lol. I mean there was soooo much "hero, action" scenes, i fell asleep, woke up, they were still being heroes.. it was overboard. Also, noticed how China teamed up with Russia on saving the world and the US folks were nowhere to be seen in the movie. A classic wanna be US movie, but overdone. way overdone.

Hollywood has made 10 million US hero story movies, let the rest of the world have one lol. Especially when it's made in Chyna what did you expect

I dropped Hulu last year. Too much content was dropped and too many series had missing episodes. I was then fortunate to be invited to share a friend's YouTube- TV account. I'm fine with YouTube-TV, but functionally it has a long way to go to match Hulu and other services. Too many quirks and limitations with the Live Guide. The other service I use is HBO-Max. One reason I went with it is that it has every season and every episode of Big Bang Theory. My wife and I are huge fans.

Cool idea for a movie, but yeah, tough to get through.

I actually like subtitles better than dubs. So I will check it out.
