I quite enjoyed the film. It was interesting to see a different cultural take on how to solve "future problems" in a different cultural SciFi. Would I watch it again? Probably not, was it any worse than the stream of MCU junk? Not really.
- jabbany 4y ago> was it any worse than the stream of MCU junk? Not really. Exactly. Hence the "mediocre". It's a familiar storytelling format with a different set of ideological undertones. Nothing special but also not like it's bad or anything. OTOH, Liu Cixin writes what I would call pretty good sci-fi novels and shorts which the movie doesn't do enough justice to. Then again that's more or less most sci-fi movies compared to their original works.
