Omg jupiter's forcefield is pulling us in

Pretty sure that would take more combustible fuel than could be made from literally all the resources on the planet. Do they give any justification as why they don't just use ships?

The Asian driver jokes write themselves.

>Yeah, rocket boosters. All on one side, and along the equator. To make it move through space.
I really hope they are fueled by some magic scifi material and not just normal fossil fuels like IRL rockets.

>sun is expanding out
Wouldn't the heat from the burgeoning sun fry everything on Earth?

Why would they get pulled in by Jupiter when they were able to escape the suns gravitational pull?

they were using Jupiter for a gravitational slingshot, but then (directly from subtitles)
>due to Jupiter's gravitational spike effect a total of 4,771 Earth Engines have shut down globally
so yeah, a spike in gravity, whatever that is

where are they going actually? I thought the earth would be absolutely fucked if it moved slightly further or nearer than its normal position to the sun.

It sounds like it would be a lot less work to just move to a different planet rather than, well, moving the planet.

Proxima Centauri, yes the movie is a nonsense, they build underground cities and use the earth as spaceship, it would be better to build spaceships

Rocks. They use rocks for fuel. And there's lots on Earth.

>not blowing up Earth and using the pieces of the planet as spaceships
GAY

Yeah but we're emotionally attached to this one

I couldn't take it. Turned it off because it was ridiculous. You'd need a blast equal to like a trillion nukes in order to move the Earth out of the solar system. Which would of course not be very healthy for the planet, much less anything living on it.

>all the countries come to help
>the Japs give up and kill themselves

>what is slingshot effect

just finished the movie ......it was so bad

bad like you wish you never saw it bad, or bad like iron sky bad?

It's unapologetically ridiculous sci fi.
I liked it, there are some pretty nice visuals

>Moving the earth is too unrealistic, dumb chinks can't make movies

Lies. That's just the plot of an Invader Zim episode.

Is this the spiritual sequel to Sunshine?

so, if I liked iron sky because of how absurd and over the top it was, how would I view this? Does it take itself seriously or does it make fun of itself?

Nigga it's China saving the world. It's taking itself really, really seriously.

based and autismpilled

>put engines on Earth and make it fly
but the rotation...

>the entire country of Japan just gives up
im kekking so fucking hard

china would just subject the earth's rotation to the social credit score. It'd get in line real fucking quick

Why need gravity when you have boosters? They could've avoided Jupiter.

see

i feel like they misunderstood what a rocket is

What parts of it were any different to American representation of itself in something say, Armageddon? That's exactly what this movie is, its just like a mediocre Chinese version of a movie like The Day After Tomorrow or Armageddon. There are no 'China numba wan!' moments, and the characters could be replaced by Koreans, Russians or whatever and it would be the same shit.

They had to fucking slingshot around it you stupid fucking retard fucking kill yourself fag why are you still even alive you stupid ass

What is a rocket?

>rocks can't be used as reaction mass

they just get all the robots to point their exhaust vents up

it's called a rocket. rock being the operative word

In the book they only have a short time before the sun blows up so they use the sun's (and Jupiter's?) orbit to slingshot themselves out of the Solar System rather than brute-forcing it with the boosters which would waste a lot of fuel

why don't they just go this way?

The book says that they're fusion engines using rocks as a fuel source. It even mentions that by the time Earth reaches the new Solar System, the planet itself will be a fairly barren and flat wasteland

stop making diagrams

your diagrams are terrible

First thing they do is stop the rotation and orient the planet for the engines to work properly

Based

Why didnt they get the Eagles to fly the planet away ?

>fuck looking for a new homes let use earth and make it a barren inhospitable place

Would move on to a different dog if it got lice, or would you try to save your dog?

This. Soi cucks itt won't admit it

I believe the plan was to use the Earth as a vessel to travel to a hospitable Solar System, so presumably they'll repopulate the Earth with wildlife, plants etc. when it arrives at a new Sun and stops being inhospitable.

it's a slingshot???

I just can't buy into the idea of insect-people being heroes. All they ever do is exploit and consume (which is unironically why the West also loves chinks)

getting engulfed by the sun would have made the earth inhospitable anyway, so I don't see your problem here.

Had some cool visuals and crap but damn these fags survived so much crap.

That said, for being a china flick, it really had high production values. Hollywood is fucked.

Lol, typical brainwashed americlap

I like some of CIxin Liu's stuff, three body problem and all that. But the last one of his I read is all about ball lightning and it turns out that ball lightning is "macro electrons" and then they start collecting them in jars and shooting them out of guns

It's pretty awful, the visuals look like something out of a Blizzard game cutscene.

China will never be relevant in the culture wars like Japan or Korea. But that's okay because they're going to save Hollywood from wokebait and hopefully give the kikes a run for their shekels

Spend a year or two living in China. Their national passtime is figuring out how to cheat each other in order to make a few extra yuan.

The Japanese may be wound tighter than a ten day clock but at least you know they're not going to put melamine in baby food.

>lets just make thousands of giant rocket thrusters and move the whole earth
>instead of building some ships and flying them off the wherever the fuck they are going

How is that a better alternative?

lol what

Mass, and thus the difficulty of moving the thing, goes up as the cube of the radius. You could take asteroids or even the moon and move them a shitload faster and easier (provided you had the magic space rockets).

I just watched this its absolutely great.
Like straight out of the 00s peak chingchong meets 90s usa disaster emmerich kino.
My only complaint is the dub/subs/translation in the Netflix version is beyond dogshit this movie deserves better
Genuinely had some good scenes and plenty of self depreciating Asian driver jokes a shitposting hapa from Melbourne and drunk Russian spacemen complete with vodkino
One of the best smart dumb action movies I've seen in a decade
This.
In the book what happens when they get to the new system?

I liked the stylised approach.
Being a Yea Forums fag I can't stand (realistic) cgi as it always looks uncanny valley fake
That sounds fucking dope are they gonna make more of his chinkino?
I thought of this but it's literally been done before so many times
Titan ae had a similar idea
>how would they take enough fuel food and have enough space for millions-billions of people to last 2000+ years to get out of the range of the imploding sun and presumably to another habitable system/planets

What was he shooting at?

The book doesn't cover that, it's only a short story that covers the background of the plot and goes over various important events like how the world changes/reacts, massive accidents and a war almost breaking out due to rebels who don't even think the Sun will actually blow up and that the Unity Government lied to them - the short story ends when Earth leaves the Solar System and they see the Sun explode after nearly overthrowing the entire government.

>a spike in gravity
Had an urge to turn off right there. Should have, actually.

I kinda like the version we got complete with ai Hal who did nothing wrong.

Sneedposters
Yeah that part spesifiically crushed my brain Tbqh I get fucked gravity would happen but not like a isolated fucking rainsstorm
Besides the solar flares would have literally fried everything and that's before everything would have baked to death not fucking freeze over for no reason

There were plans in the 2000 to move asteroids around by painting them white. Because of the high albedo, solar radiation would "bounce" on it, providing infinitesimal amounts of thrust. Infinitesimal, but enough to divert its course should it be on a collision course with earth. Point is, you can easily move around huge objects in space, provided you're not in a hurry.
That, and the fact that moving a planet is essentially like moving a giant shipyard-warehouse-powerplant-colony ship around. If you need ships at any point during your journey, you can still keep building them as you go. It's without a doubt the best solution.

>trusting the government was right all along
based chink propaganda

Zeus

Tbf in the books it definitely feels more like a metaphor for the flat earth idiots, where rebels were freaking out and rising up because they hadn't actually seen anything happening with the Sun as they left the solar system, despite scientists and governments all over the world uniting to actually pull the whole thing off

Tbh I was actually surprised how decent I found the movie. The world uniting and all those people arriving at the end was neat. Very good visuals too.

Because going all the way around requires more fuel.

>digging and casting a fuckhuge gun barrel into Earth to move it is genius! It's a classic!
>Use rocket engines for the same thing= stupid!!
Onions.

They were trying to slingshot around Jupiter but because the engines stopped working they were heading uncontrollably towards it. The movie explained this.

Daily reminder out heliosphere shields us from cosmic rays and allows us to have our atmosphere. Not only would we not have the heat required to maintain our atmosphere but we would also lose our shielding from cosmic rays which would rip apart our ozone and our surface life in a matter of weeks.

That’s the most retarded movie premise I’ve ever heard. I’ll check it out

that's why people are living underground in the movie

what about shooting at Jupiter? like I saw on the trailer?

the story is mostly about the dreadness of facing 4000 years of travel
also conspiracytards almost fucking it all

So hyoerthetically do they even make it to their destination? I wunna see a TV kino about earth rocketing through deep space for thousands of years in the style of mortal engines and evangellion

there's no definitive answer to that but I assume they would do, considering the fusion engines were doing their job the entire time and the ending briefly reiterates how the Earth will travel for the next few thousand years to reach a new home - there's nothing there that implies it won't make it.

I don't know exactly where the habitable zone would be for a red giant sun but why not just go there?

But how did they manage to fuel the engines with (fuel) for 2500 years.
There would be no crust/mantle left earth would be mined close to its core

It's more of a thought experiment than a actual story
Literally what if x
It's a neat concept and execution was interesting.
Kinda like anime meets live action I absolutely loved it.

not entirely sure if they use THAT much fuel, but I think the book might mention how the engines aren't always going at 100% power - I think the massive trip consists of a period of acceleration, steady travel, and then deceleration.

It's retarded because the sun doesn't grow into a red giant in a few days, it's literally millions of years and humanity would die out before that.

I guess it's not the worst premise I've ever seen before. Is the movie at least worth watching? Never watched any Sinokino before.

well you'd accelerate half the way, then decelerate in equal measure the rest of the half

maybe I'm just stupid but I can't immediately think of a reason not to constantly be accelerating or decelerating, when you're travelling such massive distances

Right I forgot about that.
Neither have I.
It's like Mortal engines but instead of cities it's fucking planets

mathematically yes but the story is exactly about the uncertainty and the melancholy and dreadness that it causes in humanity, same topics are explored in The Dark Forest of the same author

Did they ever make any other kino? I liked books but cbf reading unless it's shitposts on here

Did you not see everyone wearing space suits

Prove it faggot

Not me Yes the whole red giant premise is fucked down to the foundations. I'm gonna watch it anyway to see if it's any good.

its ok to watch

Me too. Sounds like it's right up my alley

I love how the chinks give absolutely no fucks about the billions that are left to die outside the underground cities
in any western movie you would have some scenes showing their suffering and struggle but the chinks dont even mention them, like they never existed

they really are consumist insects

Counterpoint: all those scenes with people dying at various places was the worst part of Deep Impact.

This is how they feel about all those people who lose their homes due to whatever the fuck giant ass construction project they have in the works too

They're just like "what people?"

Armageddon is a realistic documentary compared to this

>Do they give any justification as why they don't just use ships?
not enough space for everyone
people found out and started riots all over the world

Armageddon is a fun ride all the way
Wandering Earth just looks cool, shitty drama and stupid "science"

>They had to fucking slingshot around it
they can build a space ship earth but not calculate the correct angle to slingshot around another planet?

There was an earthquake and a load of the engines failed. They were restarted after a while but the planet had fallen too far in towards Jupiter at that stage.

Absolutely not.

It's not trying to be, while Armageddon tries to be serious at points. Which is why the "why can they trail oil-drillers to be astronauts but not astronauts to be oil-drillers?" question has haunted the movie since Ben Affleck first voiced it while filming. With a story about strapping rockets to Earth and taking it through the cosmos there is no such problem because we all know the premise is meant to be ridiculous but serves a purpose.

>"why can they trail oil-drillers to be astronauts but not astronauts to be oil-drillers?"
It's a bullshit question and it always has been, they didn't train the oil drillers to be astronauts, if they had they wouldn't have also sent astronauts. They trained the oil drillers how to use suits and work in low gravity.
