TangledThorns Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 No idea what's happening, typical Chinese film lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazinger Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I wonder how good the book that it based on is. The trailer has the benefit of making this look like the closes we'll get to something like a live-action Macross movie for many years to come.

mikeszekely Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) China's getting better at making movies that are visually on par with Hollywood. But their storytelling... well, I hope this is better than The Wandering Earth. Also, I saw the title and can't help but be disappointed that it's not an action-comedy-western starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson.

kalvasflam Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 You know, the real answer here is: "MORE HOT CHICKS" Otherwise, I don't see this any worse than Bayverse Transformers. And I'm sure we can get people better looking than Megan Fox, and that British chick from the third movie. Remember, it doesn't matter what ethnicity, scantily clad girls sponging down cars or mechs sell in any country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Looks like it really paid off of them producing some Hollywood movies. So lovely to see Shu Qi again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Kyuun Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Pretty straightforward plot- humans vs aliens, where the aliens have huge motherships that disgorge killer ball bearings, and the humans have anthropomorphic bird-like drones. Honestly, the CG doesn't look half bad, nor the hardware. The drones are somewhat unique; at least they didn't straight up copy Pacific Rim or Gundam. I'd watch it out of sheer curiosity. It definitely looks like all out action over anything cerebral, which is fine for this sort of thing. It's the Chinese Independence Day.

Mommar Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 The designs were interesting. The cg looked awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seto Kaiba Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 After watching that trailer, the vibe I'm getting is essentially Starship Troopers 3: Marauder by way of Independence Day... just with slightly higher production values than the former.

electric indigo Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'd call it Battle: L.A. x Skyline + a hint of Pacific Rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
