This is an overrated movie, flood with bot reviews. This movie line is very poor and not intended for international viewers. Things are just not making senses.
I'm not one to revel in negativity, but it's my duty as a critic to be honest. "The Wandering Earth 2: Lost in Space" is, without a doubt, one of the most disappointing cinematic experiences I've had in recent memory. After the groundbreaking success of the original "The Wandering Earth," which garnered praise for its ambitious storytelling and visual effects, I had high hopes for the sequel. Unfortunately, my high expectations were met with a resounding thud as "The Wandering Earth 2" crashed and burned in spectacular fashion.
The plot, if you can even call it that, meanders aimlessly, jumping from one contrived crisis to another without any sense of purpose. It's as if the writers threw a bunch of random sci-fi elements into a blender and hit the "puree" button. The result is a hodgepodge of poorly explained scientific jargon and contrived obstacles that left me scratching my head and rolling my eyes.
The characters in "The Wandering Earth 2" are equally uninspiring. Gone are the relatable, fleshed-out individuals we grew to care about in the original. In their place, we get a cast of one-dimensional archetypes that feel like cardboard cutouts. The protagonist, played by a woefully miscast actor, is the generic action hero with no depth or personality. His motivations are so vague that it's impossible to invest in his journey.
The result is a jarring contrast between stunning, lifelike space vistas and laughably bad, video game-like graphics. The alien creatures, which play a significant role in the story, are a particular low point. Their design is uninspired, and their movements look more like a bad B-movie monster than a threat to humanity. The shoddy effects work consistently pulled me out of the film's world, reminding me that I was watching a poorly executed sci-fi flick.
The film's pacing is also a major issue. At a staggering 2 hours and 40 minutes, "The Wandering Earth 2" is an exercise in tedium. The plot drags on and on, with seemingly endless detours and pointless subplots that do nothing to advance the story or develop the characters. It's a classic case of a bloated runtime that could have benefited from some ruthless editing.
In summary, "The Wandering Earth 2: Lost in Space" is a colossal misstep in the world of sci-fi cinema. It squanders the potential of its intriguing premise, offering up a muddled, incoherent story, one-dimensional characters, and lackluster visual effects. It's a perfect example of how a promising franchise can be derailed by a lack of creative vision and a focus on spectacle over substance. Save your time and money, and avoid this cinematic black hole at all costs.
