According to Netflix, the film was given a production scale rarely seen in Chinese films and included post-production and special effects work that took two years. That included more than 10,000 specifically-built props and the employment of some 2,000 special effects shots, in addition to a substantial amount of computer graphics shots.But is it woke AF?
That's what's important! A film's gotta be woke!

The movie, a sci-fi epic that tells the story of people trying to save earth from being destroyed by the sun, Ummm? The earth is being destroyed by the sun? That's a new spin on climate change that no one ever thought of. /Sarc

I would guess that it is also a Chinese Language Film. Reading subscripts takes a lot more effort.

Seriously? The Sun. Oh come on now. This sould like something Alexandria Occassional Cortex would come out with.

Is this a remake of A Boy And His Dog?

How can the Sun have anything to do with Earth's climate? In the film it's turning into a red giant. In the nest few hundred years.
No, really....

The plot sounds just crazy enough to work.

Plan 10 from Outer Space. Should see right after dinner at your favorite Chinese restaurant.

It's sort of woke. Turns out a disgruntled Moon stage actor named Justa Smallhead hired a team of Nigerian astronauts (in the distant future Nigeria leads the world in space exploration) to create the illusion that the sun is becoming a Red Dwarf star because he hates the orange race who dominate the continent of Trumperica.

Some of these Chinese movies are VERY well done.
One that I was struck by was called, Operation Red Sea, about The Chinese Navy and Marines rescuing Chinese citizens in war-torn Yemen, Chinas first overseas military combat in a century.
Good story, but the last five minutes is all Propoganda, about the PLAN going up against the US Navy.

Yeah. Saw that. Red giant? Sure. But not for a few billion years. We'll all be long gone by then. But really....a few hundred? This is extreme science Fiction with a capital F.

A gaggle of employees got together to go see a horror movie part of which was set at an Egyptian tomb. Desecrating the tomb brought out evil spirits.
One of the guys was Arab and visibly upset by the movie. He leaned over to me and said, “This is real, you know.”
And he meant it.

Maybe it can be dubbed in British English.
That would be even more entertaining.
I’m not much into Sci-Fi, (too tedious) but apparently, a humongous amount of people are.

Story just isn’t that great.

The problem with a lot of Chinese productions is the script. It’s generally an afterthought. And I’m referring to Hong Kong productions, which are the cream of the crop. Mainland Chinese productions are worse.

Another end-of-the-world movie? The streaming world is loaded with them.

I dunno. I’m able to get through kurosawa films just fine. Those have subtitles. Half the trick on that is production writing both precise and concise subtitles.
