It's almost impressive how Gwo manages to rip off "Gravity," "Sunshine," and "2001," all at the same time. May 14, 2019 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

Once you get past the ridiculous central conceit and all the info dumps the film is a sturdy romp with several cool set pieces of the frozen world, some stellar interpretations of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and a pleasantly hopeful, humanitarian message. Mar 1, 2019 | Full Review…

Proves that when it comes to watching special-effects extravaganzas in which stock characters scramble to intervene while the planet faces obliteration, it's a small world after all. Feb 27, 2019 | Full Review…

It certainly proves that the Chinese film industry can hold its own at the multiplex: It is just as awash in murky computer imagery, stupefying exposition and manipulative sentimentality as the average Hollywood tentpole. Feb 17, 2019 | Full Review…

I can't think of another recent computer-graphics-driven blockbuster that left me feeling this giddy because of its creators' consummate attention to detail and infectious can-do spirit. Feb 15, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

The Wandering Earth isn't a bad film at all if you want to kill a few hours wondering what is going to explode next - it's just hampered by an overly-rigid and predictable structure. Jan 8, 2020 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

The "issues" of the blockbuster are all here, with the lack of logic (not to mention complete disregard for the laws of physics), the "thin" characters, the clichés, and the overall lack of depth Dec 25, 2019 | Full Review…

The Wandering Earth is definitely bold and silly, but when a film looks as gorgeous as this, it's hard not to be mesmerised. Nov 6, 2019 | Rating: 6.7/10 | Full Review…

[...] It matches the insanity and spectacle of a good Roland Emmerich movie and is far more consistently imaginative with its bizarre premise. Jul 3, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

There's nothing new on offer in The Wandering Earth, but it does prove that China is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to making the kind of silly big-budget blockbusters that have been peppered throughout Hollywood for the last few decades. May 29, 2019 | Full Review…
