The audacious sequel to Frant Gwo’s 2019 sci-fi blockbuster follows survivors working to avert planetary disaster, but it loses much of the glee of its predecessor.
Upon its release, “The Wandering Earth,” Frant Gwo’s 2019 film about a dystopia in which Earth is perilously pushed through space, was minted as China’s first substantial, domestic sci-fi blockbuster, with the box office returns to prove it.
The film was entertaining enough, but its ambitious scope had something of an empty gloss to it, partly because the story’s drama wasn’t grounded in anything beyond the showy cataclysm. Its audaciously messy sequel, “The Wandering Earth II,” seems to have taken note and sprinted, aimlessly, entirely in the other direction. Losing all of the glee of its predecessor, the movie instead offers nearly three hours of convoluted story lines, undercooked themes and a tangle of confused, glaringly state-approved political subtext.
This is all just in the first hour of setup, before the film does a fast-forward to the next conflict, years later, when humankind needs to nuke the Moon. The premise might be laughable, but silly narrative ideas didn’t get in the way of a good time in the first film. It’s hard to say how much of a true cinematic achievement “The Wandering Earth” was when it gave China its very own “Armageddon,” but after this sequel trips over its armful of melodramatic plotlines and conspicuously nationalist messaging, you’re left wishing you just savored the mindless fun the first time around.

《流浪地球II》评论:它流浪得太远了
郭帆(Frant Gwo)2019年科幻大片的大胆续集,讲述了幸存者们努力避免行星灾难的故事,但它失去了前者的欢乐。
《流浪地球》(The Wandering Earth)是郭帆(Frant Gwo)2019年拍摄的一部反乌托邦电影,讲述了地球在太空中被危险地推进的故事。上映后,该片被打造为中国第一部大型国产科幻大片,票房回报证明了这一点。
这部电影很有娱乐性,但其宏大的范围有点空洞,部分原因是故事的剧情并没有以华丽的灾难为基础。其大胆而混乱的续集《流浪地球II》似乎已经注意到了这一点,漫无目的地朝着相反的方向冲刺。这部电影失去了前作的所有欢乐,取而代之的是近三个小时的曲折故事情节、未成熟的主题,以及一系列混乱的、政府认可的政治潜台词。
拥有更大的预算和更高的期望——香港巨星刘德华加入了演员阵容——《流浪地球II》是一部前传。《流浪地球Ⅱ》的后续行动发生在第一部电影的事件发生前几年,重点是联合地球政府最初努力将地球从太阳系中推出,此举旨在避免行星灾难。它建立了关于反乌托邦地缘政治、人与机器以及人类意识本质的脆弱观念(部分作为第一部电影《2001:太空漫游》/邪恶的HAL 9000模仿情节的背景故事)。
这一切都只是在设置的第一个小时,在电影快进到几年后的下一场冲突之前,那时人类需要用核武器袭击月球。这个前提可能很可笑,但愚蠢的叙事思想并没有阻碍第一部电影的美好时光。很难说《流浪地球》给中国带来了自己的《绝世天劫》,这部电影在多大程度上取得了真正的电影成就,但在(了解)这部续集中充斥着戏剧性的情节和明显的民族主义信息之后,你只会希望自己第一次享受这种无脑的乐趣。
