I really liked this goofy movie, but you're right, it's no where nearly as funny as Moonfall.
Honestly If there was a scene in Wandering Earth where someone goes to a deserted basement and discovers Donald Sutherland (or his Chinese equivalent) playing the man who lives under the stairs, I would've enjoyed it more.
I know it was made too early to qualify for an article in this Substact, but have you seen Danny Boyle's Sunshine? If yes, dud you like it?
Favorite part of Moonfall: when Halle Berry tries to convince Patrick Wilson to go on a space mission because the world is going to end, and he says, YOU DON'T THINK I HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS DOWN HERE???
I really did like Sunshine, but it's been so long. It really does weirdly become a slasher at the end, right? I wouldn't be opposed to catching that one again. What did you think?
So many Moonfall moments, I thought it was funny that Michael Peña had a trigger happy neighbor named Karen.
The first hour of Sunshine is extraordinary, the way the danger of space is portrayed, the incredible score, the eerie sound of the Icarus I distress beacon. It does fall apart somewhat at the end , but it still holds up as a really original scifi movie.
The cast is amazing too, Benedict Wong, Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh and Chris Evans all doing some of their very best work.

Great review! I’ve never heard of this movie, but glad to learn of it.
That's DEFINITELY one of the things I want to do with this Substack. Thanks!
Hope it lands. Thanks for the kind words.
