This movie had great relationship themes between a father and son
The extremes of the child being young and beholden to his talented father to becoming a mission saving hero and the father being a talented but flawed engineer trying to recover was excellent
Sure there were probably some big flaws and stereotypes but it was a story of love and devotion and growing up and giving hope.
The scene of Chinese nationalism, portraying the different parts of the country as one, were grating but lasted for a couple of minutes, certainly not enough to spoil the tale being told
Loved it
