This is perhaps the most retarded movie I've seen in years. The entire premise is retarded, but the CGI was like bad Bollywood tier. It was hilarious watching Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson try to seriously play their roles. Throw in some tropey comedic characters, rando outlaw thieves outta nowhere, and a jaded son story arc, and this movie checks a lot of shitshow boxes. In the end I came away entertained.
It's Emmerich kino
>>221824012>This is perhaps the most retarded movie I've seen in years.Really? More retarded than the one where they put rockets on the side of the earth to push it out of orbit?
>>221824062I don't know the movie you're referencing and have not seen, but I agree that sounds retarded, too.
>>221824079It's chinese"the wandering earth"
>>221824079Give it a watch if you are in the mood for more retarded stuff. It has some entertaining bits but yeah, the concept is bonkers.
>>221824151Um, you’re Chinese.
>>221824280I've honestly never finished a Chinese movie. It's just reading subs, I'm fine with that, it's that they're just generally offputting or something. I can't explain it, but I feel gross watching them. I feel similarly towards some old Eastern European films.
>>221824012Moonfall was actually kino. It takes a premise that sounds retarded, but then explains it with ancient alien super technology that makes the premise at least seem consistent with what is now a scifi setting instead of a "realistic" spaceflight flick. People seem to ignore that Moonfall was actually about an intergalactic war between self replicating AIs and ancient spacefaring humans, and that the moon "falling out of the sky" was just a side effect of this that sets the plot in motion, not the plot itself. Seriously, all jokes aside, I can unironically recommend this movie for a quick fun flick to watch. It's better than all the usual goyslop coming out these days.
>>221825063>it's that they're just generally offputting or something. I can't explain it, but I feel gross watching them.I tried to watch the chinese three body problem first because I figured a chink adaptation of a chink novel series (that I've nver read) would inherently be superior, and it also had WAY more episodes, but it was simply like unwatchableas though nobody involved really had any objective idea about how to make a good series like that, just this narrow regional approved one that was blatantly inferior but probably fine if you were a chink since it was par for the coursemaybe it was lambasted there idk never looked
>>221825849If the moon ever came close enough to breach our atmosphere the tidal and tectonic destruction would leave 80% or more of the world dead in immediate destruction, the rest within hours of fallout. And in some make believe reality where the moon is built of an element so hard it doesn't exist in our solar system (nothing is strong enough to hold off gravity or our atmosphere) and can graze the planet and migrate back out, every ounce of the moon's "outer shell" would have been incinerated, crashed into Earth, and it'd be a hollow structure w/o the mass to maintain our comfy orbit.
Even an inch every million years inward is a death sentence for our planet. It is curious that our moon is precisely the correct size for solar eclipses, sure, but our moon is slowly leaving us, not getting closer. In the distant future we'll be moonless and the planet will no longer support life. We may also be eaten when our sun goes red giant. That's our fate.
>>221826064this is both why getting off of planets altogether and building spae habitiats is the only logical way to not go extinct as a species, and why I sincerely hope now we never do
rest of the universe is WAY better off without our bullshit, they'd probably thank us for being too incompetent to make the galaxy greater israel, now with 10,000% more jeets
>>221824012I hate that it exists because there is actually a disaster book called Moonfall, which is a terrifyingly grounded story that has nothing to do with that movie.>set in the near future, mankind has built a moonbase and is just unveiling its grand opening>someone on Earth spots an incoming comet that's approaching much faster than theoretical models should allow>it smashes into the moon, but the book is too grounded for it to be knocked out of orbit - almost all of the moon's debris remains in space, but suitably large chunks rain down on the Earth for the remainder of the book>also it has a pretty large cast of point-of-view characters, and most of them are dead by the end of the book>no ayys, just unlucky physics and problem solving to not fucking dieIf someone had made a movie of that instead, it would be scary kino.
>>221826104It's also likely how we ended up on Earth. We're about 4.5 billion years since the big bang. Our bloodlines run very deep, billions of years. In all honesty our most recent ancestors were probably Martian.
>>2218261884.5 billion years since our solar sytem formed mb***big bang was around ~13 billion years ago.
>>221826180this is a really nerdy and fun station management game with that kind of presence where an Elon Musk analogue builds a space habitat with this "vhole engine" that something something subspaces, and he's completely absorbed in his own asshole so tests it too close to the moon and sucks this huge chunk of it into subspace, you have to find a suitable exoplanet for the remainder of humanitygood humor to it and not preachy, really
>>221826266>with that kind of *PREMISEsigh
>>221826064if we aren't off this planet or otherwise in control of our local celestial gravity by the time either of those events happens, we deserve to be obliterated by them.
>>221826064>In the distant future we'll be moonless and the planet will no longer support life. We may also be eaten when our sun goes red giant. That's our fateYeah, in like 1-2 BILLION yearsI wouldn't worry about it too much
>>221826306We'll be off planet by 2060. The first waves of Martians will die, but in their deaths we will learn and build a sustainable base.Terraforming is hundreds of years away, but protecting our guys from cosmic rays is doable now. It'll just be a painful process to build the Mars habitat.
>>221826453my negro we do not even understand SOMETHING about the universe and all of it on this very fundamental level>universe is 13 or 25 billion years old>nothing can supposedly go faster than light>there was some :big bang: from a central point>the visible universe alone is over 90 billion light years wideI do not trust AT ALL that we've done something like 'age sol accurately'
and besides reminder that when it begins, any increase in the sun's size has drastic fucking effects, so this planet would be uninhabitable well before it was anywhere near the planetand who knows how long exactly the process takes we guess at ALL of it
>>221826488humans who are born on mars or live there for long periods of time will be physically unable to return to earth, the higher gravity would kill themjust sayingwhen you say "humanity going off-planet" what you're really talking about is humanity becoming a bunch of different branch species adapted to specific planets
>>221826543I mean off-planet as actual humans can walk on Mars. I think the best thing we can do long term is to find a way to store our DNA in harsh environment life that can survive on asteroids/comets, probes, and send it in every possibly friendly planetary system we can see. If even one lands on a habitable planet we win. We just need them to do it again before they all die.
>>221826543it doesn't really make any sense to really seriously inhabit ANY planet in this system sinece the red giant issue would make it all fuckedand other systems are so fucking far away and such a crapshoot for gauging habitability blindly from this distance that we would have no choice but to build permanent interstellar habitats ANYWAYso skipping colonization altogether as any kind of "serious" endeavor is the wisest course
we need it to learn how to adapt to different planets for resource gathering and that's it
>>221826655>just blast our DNA all over the cosmosseems irresponsible
>>221826724"fuck you non-human life" seems to be a recurring theme for us
Terra Formers.
Everything about the Universe is specifically built to make it as difficult as possible for anything to travel through spaceLife is extremely rare and may even be a total flukeIntelligence is almost certainly a fluke as we have long gone past the amount of intelligence we actually need to thrive as a species, and are now just kind of stuck with the existential dread of being smart enough to comprehend our own mortalityWe're not supposed to leave
>>221826771lol
>>221826496>>nothing can supposedly go faster than lightThat's a common misconception. The speed of light is the limit of how fast things can travel through space. Space itself can do whatever it wants. You can already see this with black holes' event horizons and how light cannot escape.>>there was some :big bang: from a central pointThat's another misconception. There isn't a central point. The entire universe was still infinite, it's just that the distances involved were tiny. The expansion of the universe isn't making more stuff or pushing the "boundaries" outward like a bubble. It's making distances larger. There is no central point of infinity, not during the big bang, not now.But the point I'm making is:>>the visible universe alone is over 90 billion light years wideDoesn't matter. Lightspeed hasn't changed and the universe used to have tiny distances, so we're still receiving light from the early days of the universe. That's what the cosmic microwave background mostly is, by the way - Big Bang era light that's been nerfed into invisible wavelengths by the universe's expansion.
>>221826724smartest thing we can do. even before going back to the moon or mars. we should be sending my sperm to every observable planet
>>221827007>The expansion of the universe isn't making more stuff or pushing the "boundaries" outward like a bubble. It's making distances larger.>There is no central point of infinity>guessing at literally all of this shit like some shut-in kid guessing at the origins and nature of the world based solely on the scientific analysis of a view out a bedroom windowscience really is like religion in many ways, this shit going on faith>>221827118>my spermso, if you're shooting someone ELSE'S out into infinity, is it gay
>>221827149If someone had a better evidence-backed theory they'd win a shitload of money. Scientists are the opposite of religion - the most surefire way to become famous is to break someone's widely-accepted theory in a way that nobody can deny. The difficulty is that nobody has managed to come up with theories that explain more things more accurately than the current ones.
Let the moon fallWhen it crumblesWe will stand tallFace it all together
>>221827257>If someone had a better evidence-backed theory>based solely on our current understanding of science (which does not include personally venturing with anything but probes beyond our own moon) and tons of mental gymnasticsfine and good since we can't do shit else and perhaps may never be able to>let's act like this is factthe problem when I can posit that the reason we've never found a predicted white hole at all is because there's only one at the barycenter, that spits out the data the black holes suck in as drains because something something quantum entanglement, making the universe effectively eternal; and this can never possibly be proven or disproven, so did I win?
>>221825063There's something about East Asian storytelling that just doesn't work for me, and the acting always feels weird. They usually have amazing visuals and music, but that's not enough.
Moonfall is terrible. It's crazier every time you think it hit the apex. 10/10 would recommend.
>>221827342*in lieu of "money" btw I will accept permanent sidewide removal of the name field here, thanks
that's the worst cancer gone right there
>>221827499Can you really call a movie terrible when it does exactly what it sets out to do and is very entertaining?
>>221824012just watched this the other night tooretarded ass plotbad cgi but somehow watchable
>>221824012>jaded sonHis acting is so atrocious it makes the movie kinda funny.
>>221825063Theres a pretty good chink one with bruce willis playing an advisor during sino/japanese war trying to get the nationalist airforce up and running. Cheap cg aside its not bad and (somewhat) historically accurate.
>>221827715seems interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Strike_(2018_film)
