The Wandering Earth film review: Wu Jing leads deep space mission in Chinese sci-fi blockbuster

  • Story of Chinese-led rescue mission to keep Earth on course in its journey to a new solar system is entertaining but nagglingly familiar
  • Chinese film industry’s aversion to sci-fi may end with the success of Frant Gwo’s film, but on this evidence it has a long way to go to match Hollywood
