Feng bao (2021)
Too many nationalistic reviewers
Don't believe a lot of the reviews of MANY Chinese movies on here which are over inflated as great. I loved Infernal Affairs and some other Chinese films but see all too often Chinese reviewers boasting about every film released from China. I can only recommend this if you have nothing else to watch and want to see a disaster movie like was, but if you want to see a good disaster movie I recommend The Tower and The Tunnel from Korea or The Quake and Wave from Norway. The Korean series Bargain is also good but it's more than just about the disaster which these other films have in common. I gave this three stars for FX that are hit or miss at times and the way it was shot. I didn't care for any of the characters cause we had little or no background on them unlike these other films. Some things were over the top as some have said, but to be fair, what disaster film isn't. Very formulaic and cliche ridden.

Don't believe the false nationalistic reviews here
The first one was so bad. The science is ridiculous even for fiction. At Least try to make it somewhat believable or slightly possible. Instead of the Earth it should have been a ship or space station called Earth. It felt like it was written by a 10 year old and didn't expect any better from a prequel. This is as bad as the first and at almost 3 hours, I wouldn't wish my worst enemy watching this as torture. So again, only China can save the entire world, ridiculous propaganda. Watch better SciFi like Interstellar and The Martian instead. I gave it 2 just for the fx, more decent at times eye candy. Changed the age of story writing to 10, but perhaps should be lower.

Mediocre
Don't believe the nationalistic reviews. Better than Pixar, not even close, but nice try. My kids would be bored. I agree, best technically Chinese cg animated film, but not as good as what's done by Koreans, Japanese and Hollywood, keep trying.
