Wandering Earth II
This is actually a prequel to Wandering Earth I, so not required to watch the first movie to get it.
And...huh, it's opening in US theaters the same time as in China. (Well, actually a day later given timezones, but both on the 22nd!)
Tickets: https://wellgousa.com/films/wandering-earth-ii
I feel...a little tempted to go watch. >.>

We have guests coming on the 22nd though. So maybe the day after or so...
EDIT: Just checked the seating availability online, and it does look like there's a lot of people actually prepaid to go see it on the first day!

In this one particular I think most people are there to see how far the chinese movie industry has come towards SFX, and for Andy Lau.

Eh, it's less the believability and more the politics. I don't know enough about the original novel, but the movie sounds like a cheese ball factory exploded all over it. Also the acting sounds painfully bad.
Agree w/ the last sentence. I'm pretty sure most Chinese viewers are just there for spectacle, which is fine, just not really my cup of joe, as it were. Part of the reason I couldn't stand Avatar (the movie).
