| Upon its release, “The Wandering Earth,” Frant Gwo’s 2019 film about a dystopia in which Earth is perilously pushed through space, was minted as China’s first substantial, domestic sci-fi blockbuster, with the box office returns to prove it. |
| 郭帆执导的《流浪地球》于2019年上映，该片讲述了人类在外太空把地球危险地推离太阳系的反乌托邦故事，被誉为中国第一部真正意义上的国产科幻大片，其票房回报也证明了这一点。 |
| The film was entertaining enough, but its ambitious scope had something of an empty gloss to it, partly because the story’s drama wasn’t grounded in anything beyond the showy cataclysm. Its audaciously messy sequel, “The Wandering Earth II,” seems to have taken note and sprinted, aimlessly, entirely in the other direction. Losing all of the glee of its predecessor, the movie instead offers nearly three hours of convoluted story lines, undercooked themes and a tangle of confused, glaringly state-approved political subtext. |
| 该片娱乐性十足，但其充满野心的视角略显空洞，部分原因在于除了特效华丽的灾难场面，剧情经不起推敲。大胆而杂乱的续集《流浪地球2》似乎注意到了这一点，结果却盲目地把影片拉到了另一个极端。本片失去了前作的所有欢乐，取而代之的是近三小时错综复杂的故事线、漏洞百出的主题和混乱的、显然得到了国家认可的政治潜台词。 |
| Boasting a bigger budget and greater expectations — the Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau has been added to the cast — “Wandering Earth II” is, narratively, a prequel. Gwo’s follow-up takes place years before the events of the first film and focuses on the United Earth Government’s initial efforts to push Earth out of our solar system, a move intended to avoid planetary disaster. It sets up flimsy ideas about dystopian geopolitics, man versus machine, and the nature of human consciousness (partly as a back story to the “2001: A Space Odyssey”/evil HAL 9000 knockoff plot of the first film). |
| 《流浪地球2》拥有更多预算和更高期望（有香港巨星刘德华参演），在叙事上它是一部前传。它将时间设定在第一部故事发生的多年以前，主要讲述了联合政府为避免毁灭行星的灾难，将地球推出太阳系的最初努力。该片对反乌托邦地缘政治、人机对抗，以及人类意识的本质（部分是作为第一部电影中《2001太空漫游》/邪恶哈尔的仿冒情节的背景故事）提出了站不住脚的观点。 |
| This is all just in the first hour of setup, before the film does a fast-forward to the next conflict, years later, when humankind needs to nuke the Moon. The premise might be laughable, but silly narrative ideas didn’t get in the way of a good time in the first film. It’s hard to say how much of a true cinematic achievement “The Wandering Earth” was when it gave China its very own “Armageddon,” but after this sequel trips over its armful of melodramatic plotlines and conspicuously nationalist messaging, you’re left wishing you just savored the mindless fun the first time around. |
| 而这一切都发生在情节设定的第一个小时里，而后影片快进到数年后的下一场冲突，即人类必须核爆月球。虽然设定或许可笑，但幼稚的叙事主旨并没有干扰观众享受电影的第一部。《流浪地球》让中国有了自己的《世界末日》，很难说该片取得了多少真正的电影艺术成就，但在看过这部充斥着夸张情节和突出的民族主义思想的续集之后，你宁愿自己享受到的是看上一部时那种不费心力的乐趣。 |
