What do the one-star reviews on Douban say about "The Wandering Earth"?

The battle for the box office during the Spring Festival is fierce, with two movies breaking the 1 billion box office mark today. As of 3 p.m. Beijing time on February 8, Crazy Alien had grossed 1.042 billion, while The Wandering Earth, China's first hardcore science fiction film known as a "dark horse," grossed 1.029 billion.

In terms of box office share, "The Wandering Earth" ranked first with a share of 44.6%, followed by "Crazy Alien" and "Speeding Life" in second and third place. Box office share refers to the proportion of a movie's box office revenue to its total revenue.

It is worth mentioning that Maoyan's final box office forecast for "The Wandering Earth" is 5.334 billion, while the final box office of the 2017 summer blockbuster "Wolf Warrior 2" was 5.68 billion.

Douban netizens currently give "The Wandering Earth" a score of 8.0, which is a slight drop from yesterday's score of 8.2. IMDB currently gives it a score of 8.0, 0.1 point higher than yesterday. (IMDB - Internet Movie Database, the world's authoritative movie website)

Hollywood will continue to be the sword hanging over the heads of Chinese filmmakers for many years to come, and the discussion on how far "The Wandering Earth" is behind "Interstellar" will continue to exist for a long time.

This is a good thing. The gap will continue to discourage and defeat many people, and those who survive will be the hope of Chinese films.
