In the vein of The Wandering Earth, this year's big-scale Chinese fantasy/sci-fi blockbuster certainly delivers on scale and spectacle. Once you get past the oddly videogame-looking first attack sequence, the effects and story improve considerably and are both sustained well over the whole film. To say that Independence Day is the touchstone here would be a massive understatement, but there is plenty of big-scale action on display here to entertain genre fans sufficiently.
