   bad science follows, but hey it's a big budget SF disaster flick not a physics   
   course.  The fx remind    
   me of the recent transformers movies for some reason.  The acting is mostly   
   good.  The script its self is decent.

   I just watched "The Wandering Earth" on Netflix.  Wild.  It is a Chinese   
   made scifi flick about moving the Earth to another star system after the   
   Sun starts expanding into a red giant early.   It was not horrible.  But   
   it was not awesome either.  Maybe recommended ?
