‘The Wandering Earth II’ Review: It Wanders Too Far

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.

• Share full article

By Brandon Yu

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.

Boasting a bigger budget and greater expectations — the Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau has been added to the cast — “Wandering Earth II” is, narratively, a prequel. Gwo’s follow-up takes place years before the events of the first film and focuses on the United Earth Government’s initial efforts to push Earth out of our solar system, a move intended to avoid planetary disaster. It sets up flimsy ideas about dystopian geopolitics, man versus machine, and the nature of human consciousness (partly as a back story to the “2001: A Space Odyssey”/evil HAL 9000 knockoff plot of the first film).

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.

The Wandering Earth II Not rated. In Mandarin, with subtitles. Running time: 2 hours 53 minutes. In theaters.

Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, great movies, chaz's journal, contributors, the wandering earth ii.

Now streaming on:

Time runs out in carefully marked units in the mainland Chinese sci-fi disaster pic “The Wandering Earth II,” a sturdy prequel to the record-smashing adaptation of Liu Cixin ’s novel. In “The Wandering Earth II,” the apocalyptic problems faced by this movie’s Chinese characters—along with their international peers from the United Earth Government (UEG)—have already happened. Because in “ The Wandering Earth ,” the planet has already left its orbit thanks to some high-powered rocket engines, which have pushed the Earth out of harm’s way (aka a crash course with the Sun). Set in the near-future—a range of dates that includes 2044, 2058, and 2065—“The Wandering Earth II” follows China’s men and women of action as they lead the planet out of the solar system and into the previous movie.

Both “The Wandering Earth” and its sequel are flashy, state-approved cornball spectacles about humanity’s resilience (especially the Chinese). Both movies were produced with gargantuan budgets that would make even James Cameron blink, and they both look fantastic thanks to director Frant Gwo ’s eye for panoramic scope and paperback cover-worthy details. The main difference between these two blockbusters is that the protagonists of “The Wandering Earth II” must repeatedly choose to be hopeful despite perpetually impending disasters, each one of which is neatly labeled and foregrounded with pulpy on-screen text like “The Lunar Crisis in 12 hours” and “Nuclear explosion in 3 hours.”

In this way, Gwo (“ The Sacrifice ”) and his five credited co-writers succeed in refocusing our attention on scenes of ticking-clock suspense, sandwiched between syrupy—and mostly satisfying—melodramatic interludes, where square-jawed astronauts and UEG diplomats struggle to do what we know is a foregone conclusion.

Most of “The Wandering Earth II” follows the superhuman efforts needed to jumpstart the Moving Mountain Project, the mission to first build and then deploy the globe-shifting engines needed to push the Earth out of harm’s way. The UEG’s Chinese delegation, led by the paternal diplomat Zhezhi Zhou ( Li Xuejian ), recommends prioritizing the Moving Mountain Project instead of the Digital Life Project. This radical initiative would transfer human participants’ consciousnesses into artificially intelligent computer programs. Some Digital Life supporters try to sabotage the Moving Mountain Project, including a deadly attack on the Space Elevator transportation ships that send UEG representatives from the Earth to the Moon.

Nobody living through the events of “The Wandering Earth II” knows what we know: That the Moving Mountain project succeeds and eventually becomes the Wandering Earth project, which comes under threat by a HAL 9000-esque artificial intelligence (A.I.) named MOSS in the first film. Still, multiple scientists, government officials, and space adventurers—mostly Chinese—believe in their work’s vital necessity, whether they’re punching out saboteurs or detonating one of a couple hundred nuclear devices scattered around the moon. There’s a lot of hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing along the way, mostly from English and Russian-speaking UEG members, all of whom speak in stilted, poorly dubbed dialogue. But Chinese astronauts, like “The Wandering Earth” co-leads Liu Peiqiang (“ Wolf Warrior 2 ” star Wu Jing ) and Han Duoduo ( Wang Zhi ), always prove Zhou’s slogan-simple maxim: “In times of crisis, unity above all.”

Some melancholic (and occasionally maudlin) flashbacks and dialogue emphasize the personal motives of one-note characters who, in the movie’s best scenes, are just parts of a beautiful post-human landscape. Liu remembers his wife and young daughter while melancholic scientist Tu Hengyu ( Andy Lau ) talks with his dead child after he uploads her personality into an experimental A.I. program; she cries a lot and sometimes responds with existentially troubling questions like, “Where am I, daddy? I want to get out.” We’re then periodically reminded of the next impending crisis—“the moon disintegrates in 50 hours”—in between solar storms and nuclear explosions. Somehow, “The Wandering Earth II” never feels tonally unbalanced or narratively convoluted, partly because Gwo and his collaborators keep their movie’s plot focused on feats of action-adventure heroism.

“The Wandering Earth II” only seems relatively unambitious because it’s more focused on sap-happy human emotions than on dystopian intrigue. Both movies are still essentially showcases for beautiful and expensive-looking computer graphics. But “The Wandering Earth II”—a brittle and, at heart, old-fashioned space opera—would be insufferable if Gwo and his ensemble cast members didn’t sell you on the possibility that someday, people who are as selfless, monomaniacal, and capable as Liu and Tu could exist.

“The Wandering Earth II” is also like “The Wandering Earth” because it’s just the right mix of silly and somber. Hurt, scared people wonder about the recent past, but always from a rare position of forward-thinking emotional clarity. (“She’s dead, and that’s it. That’s the reality.”) So when humanity must inevitably save the day, their accomplishments are appropriately surreal and awesome.

The Wandering Earth II review – blockbuster Chinese sci-fi prequel veers off course

Frant Gwo’s follow-up to his 2019 mega-hit favours special effects and set pieces over performances, as the human race battles for survival

A gargantuan success in 2019, Frant Gwo’s The Wandering Earth remains one of the highest grossing non-English films of all time. This hotly anticipated prequel, even more ambitious in scope, follows the catastrophic events leading up to the Earth leaving the solar system in the original hit.

At nearly three hours long, The Wandering Earth II is packed with expository science talk, which gets more convoluted and tiring as the clock ticks on. The gist of the matter is, in the face of imminent ecological disasters, an internationally consolidated government body has hatched a solution to alter the orbit of our planet. It also involves blowing up the moon. As well as resistance from (mostly) western countries, the decades-spanning enterprise is also routinely sabotaged by the rival Digital Life Project, which looks to virtual reality as a new beginning for the human race.

Against the threat of total extinction and the unsettling ubiquity of AI, the question of what it means to be human lies at the heart of this prequel, whose sombre silver-grey colour palette marks a stark departure from the first film. Ironically enough, in this case, characters played by superstars like Wu Jing or Andy Lau take a backseat to the admittedly spectacular CGI effects.

In the end, the emphasis on set pieces over performances renders the collective plight of humanity emotionally distant and impersonal. Various mentions of how machines will take over human jobs also finds a strange echo in the film-making itself: Ng Man-tat died from cancer in 2021, yet his character from The Wandering Earth makes a cameo appearance in this prequel via AI technology. It is a gesture of tribute that, within the context of the film, feels oddly unsettling.

About the film:

The much-anticipated prequel to the 2019 sci-fi phenomenon The Wandering Earth — the #5 highest-grossing non-English film of all time — lands at the Film Center.

Shortly after learning that the sun is rapidly burning out and will obliterate Earth, humans build enormous engines to propel the planet to a new solar system far out of reach of the sun’s fiery flares. However, the journey into the universe is complex, and humankind’s last shot at survival will depend on a group of young people brave enough to step up and execute a dangerous, life-or-death operation to save the Earth.

About the filmmaker:

Frant Gwo is a Chinese filmmaker. He studied law at Hainan University, but spent much of his time creating comics and graphic design, and after graduation, he began working in media and entertainment before ultimately pursuing a career as a sci-fi movie director. In 2009, he entered Beijing Film Academy to study film management. He debuted as a director in 2011 with the film Lee’s Adventure , and then directed the award-winning film My Old Classmate in 2014. In recent years, he directed a segment of the 2020 anthology war film The Sacrifice , and China’s first big-budget science fiction film, 2019’s The Wandering Earth , based on a short story by Hugo Award-winning author Liu Cixin. The film garnered national acclaim and became one of the highest-grossing Chinese films of all time, leading to his 2023 follow-up, The Wandering Earth 2 .

Positive Messages

Amid the film's heavy-handed nationalism is the idea that people unite in a shared purpose in times of crisis.

Positive Role Models

Nobody stands out as especially admirable, but scientists and governments work together to try to save Earth.

Diverse Representations

Many races, ethnicities, and nationalities are represented, albeit in roles that aren't very deep/developed. Some nationalistic stereotyping (an angry Russian, for instance).

Did we miss something on diversity? Suggest an update.

Violence & Scariness

Sci-fi action violence throughout. Fighting between ships and drones. Terrorist attack on ships taking part in a project in which the Earth is going to be towed away from the sun before the sun moves too close to Earth. Graphic depiction of car accident involving a family; there's a fatality. Fighting with punches, kicks, fire extinguishers. Fingers pulled out of their sockets in one fight scene. Lots of explosions.

What's the Story?

In THE WANDERING EARTH II, it's the year 2044, and work is continuing in Libreville, Gabon, and elsewhere to save the Earth from the impending Solar Crisis. Scientists have predicted that, within 100 years, the sun is going to crash into the Earth. So scientists and governments are working together to tow the planet away from the sun and out of the solar system. This is called the Moving Mountain Project, but it runs counter to the immortality promised by the Digital Life Project, a program that has been dismantled, much to the chagrin of tens of thousands of angry protestors. As terrorists try to stop the Moving Mountain Project, Liu ( Jing Wu ) is one of the officers working against them, but to no avail. Now, it's 14 years later, and, as the sun moves ever closer, the scientists and government leaders have come up with a different solution: Blow up the moon, and use the force it creates to pull the Earth away.

Is It Any Good?

It' too long and too complicated, but The Wandering Earth II has an interesting concept: The Earth must be towed away from the solar system in order to prevent the sun from crashing into it. Unfortunately, that kernel is lost in the morass of clunky storytelling, cliched action hero characters, and so much bombastic everything that it makes the work of Michael Bay seem subtle and nuanced by comparison. No real character development begins until well past the one-hour mark, and so much of that first hour is spent repeating the backstory that it's difficult to care what happens one way or the other.

The movie comes off as China's answer to the blockbuster sci-fi epic, and, just like many of these types of movies made in the United States, there's a heavy-handed jingoistic nationalism at work here that gets tiresome. There's simply too much of everything. First the sun is going to engulf the Earth, and then there's something about a project that promises eternal life (why you would want that if the Sun is going to swallow the Earth is a mystery), and the last third or so of the movie concerns blowing up the moon. For some viewers, that may bring to mind the classic Mr. Show with Bob and David sketch about blowing up the moon, but this isn't that funny -- at least, not deliberately so.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about the ideal length for movies like The Wandering Earth II . Do you like your epics as long as this? Why, or why not? If not, do you think anything could have been taken out without harming the central story?

This movie is loosely based on a short story. What do you think the challenges would be in adapting a written story into a movie?

How does the impact of the violence in this movie compare to what you might see in a more realistic scenario?
