Frant Gwo's THE WANDERING EARTH (2019)

That China can make big, dumb movies, too
Should not surprise me, but I didn't think
A Cixin Liu tale would inspire a true,
If gorgeous, Hollywood-style pile of stink.
The visuals, I will say, are superb, 
The actors charismatic, one and all, 
The script though? E'en allowing for the derb - -
I mean the dubbing - - was what I must call
(If charity did move me) what the duck?!?
A grander scale of action we could not
Have asked for, yet we must believe our luck
Has brought us engines that, when they get hot 
Can move our planet, yet one family
From out of billions, saves us all? I see...
