这部由刘慈欣小说《流浪地球》改编的同名电影，历时4年与观众见面。据猫眼电影数据，截至2月9日，《流浪地球》以15.9亿元的累计票房领跑，成为中国票房收入最高的电影之一。

不仅如此，外媒也毫不吝啬对这部电影的好评。

The New York Times： 中国终于加入了太空战。

The country’s first blockbuster set in space, “The Wandering Earth,” opens Tuesday amid grandiose expectations that it will represent the dawning of a new era in Chinese filmmaking.

中国第一部以太空为背景的大片《流浪地球》周二盛大上映。外界对它期待是它将代表中国电影制作新时代。

It is one in a series of ambitious,big-budget films tackling a genre that, until now, has been beyond the reach of most filmmakers here — technically and financially.

它是一系列雄心勃勃的大预算、大制作之一。这部电影直到现在已经超出了大多数电影的所能达到的技术和预算。

Forbes：如果中国能自己制作这样水准的电影，他们就不需要进口太多好莱坞电影了。

While the focus is (obviously) on Chinese heroes and the Chinese government (it is implied that America was not involved in this global effort, make of that what you will), the film is nowhere near as jingoistic as Wolf Warrior 2 or as nationalistic as Universal/Comcast and Legendary's The Great Wall.

虽然电影的重点（显然）是刻画中国英雄和中国政府（顺带暗指美国政府的无所作为，没有参与这项全球性的合作），但这部电影远没有像《战狼2》那样宣扬大国主义，或者像传奇影业的《长城》那样宣扬民族主义。

If China can make movies like this for themselves, they won't need Hollywood imports as much. This is where China has been heading for the last several years.

如果中国能自己制作这样水准的电影，他们就不需要进口太多好莱坞电影了。这正是中国过去几年的发展方向。

China is big enough and movie-hungry enough to support their own stuff along with various Hollywood biggies. But as Chinese productions get bigger, the mere notion of a Hollywood blockbuster, especially a somewhat generic affair meant to play globally with minimal fuss, will be significantly less special.

中国足够大, 庞大的电影市场足以同时支撑起国产电影和好莱坞大片。但随着中国制作的崛起，那些靠着简单的好莱坞套路想在全球市场上大赚一把的“大片”，将显得不那么有优势。

The Verge:《流浪地球》展示了中国电影制作的新面貌——专注于未来，而不是中国传统盛世。

We’re living through a fascinating era of rapid change for the blockbuster movie model. America producers, eager to get their $200 million movies into the lucrative Chinese market, are increasingly looking for Chinese production partners, shooting in Chinese locations, and adding China-friendly characters and plotlines to American movies, even including extra scenes just for the Chinese cuts of films. But simultaneously, China and other countries are moving toward the blockbuster model themselves, creating homegrown films that don’t need to involve American partners at all.

我们正在经历电影大片快速变化的时代。为了将价值2亿美元电影产业带入利润丰厚的中国市场，美国制片人越来越多地寻找中国合作伙伴，在中国拍摄，在美国电影中添加中国人物和情节，甚至在中国放映的版本中加入额外场景。但与此同时，中国和其他国家也正在创造本土电影大片，他们根本不需要让美国合作伙伴插手其中。

It shows a new side of Chinese filmmaking — one focused toward futuristic spectacles rather than China’s traditionally grand, massive historical epics.

（流浪地球）它展示了中国电影制作的新面貌——专注于未来，而不是中国的传统盛世。

None of these things will be inherently alien to American viewers, who may experience The Wandering Earth as a best-of mash-up of past science fiction films, just with less-familiar faces in the lead roles. But as China gets into the action-blockbuster business, it’ll continue to be fascinating to see how the country brings its own distinctive voices and talents into a global market.

美国观众并不会觉得《流浪地球》里的情节陌生。他们可能会觉得这部电影是过去科幻电影的集合，只是主角的面孔有点不太熟悉。但随着中国进入动作大片时代，这个国家如何将自己独特的声音和才能带入全球市场将令人期待。

Science Fiction: 中国电影的里程碑

All of this leads to the observation that the experience for me as an American watching ‘The Wandering Earth’ was undoubtedly similar to that of a Chinese film aficionado watching an American sci-fi blockbuster and wondering why China never shows up, Chinese actors are never on screen, and somehow Chinese ingenuity and perseverance never seems to help save the day.

我作为美国人观看《流浪地球》时无疑与中国电影爱好者观看美国科幻大片时有着相同的经历和疑惑：我想知道为什么中国永远不会出现，为什么中国演员从不在屏幕上露脸，不知何故，中国人的聪明才智和毅力似乎从来没有被用来拯救地球。

Finally, with all of that said, I still enjoyed ‘The Wandering Earth.’ It’s a massive, exciting concept and a solid tension-building story that will keep you on the edge of your seat as Jupiter exerts more and more gravitational pull on our little planet. I say go see it and enjoy a wholly different science fiction epic that marks a milestone in Chinese cinema.

尽管如此，我仍然喜欢《流浪地球》。这是一个巨大而令人兴奋的概念； 丰满而具有张力的故事。当木星在我们的小星球上施加越来越多的引力时，你会紧张到坐立不安。我建议你去看看，欣赏一部完全不同的，标志着中国电影里程碑的科幻史诗。

CINEMA ESCAPIST：2019年全球最好的电影之一。

Of course, being a Chinese-made film, The Wandering Earth still carries a more Chinese bent than an equivalent Hollywood film would.

当然，作为一部中国制造的电影，《流浪地球》仍然比同等的好莱坞电影更具中国风格。

For starters, Americans make no appearance in the entire film, though the US is still a member of the Earth government’s leadership. Perhaps this is inspired by the fact that since 2016, America has threatened to or actually withdrawn from a number of international agreements, and has demanded her allies pay for US troop presence. Maybe in an not-so-farfetched future, America would demand that the world pay for American scientists to save the world — and the world simply decided not to pay.

尽管美国仍然是地球联合政府的成员，但美国人并没有在电影中露面。这也许是受到这样一个事实的启发：自2016年以来，美国一直威胁或实际上退出了一系列国际协议，并要求它的盟友支付美国军队的费用。也许不久的未来，美国同样会要求世界为美国科学家拯救世界而买单，只是这次各国选择了不出钱。

It was also refreshing to see other countries playing a part alongside China — Russian, French, Indian, and Indonesian crews also make an appearance in The Wandering Earth. Ultimately, in contrast to American apocalypse flicks where Americans seem to save the world unilaterally, people from different countries come together to save the world — and multilateral consensus is required throughout the film, reflecting a message that the Chinese government has been pushing in real world affairs.

看到其他国家与中国并肩作战也令人耳目一新——俄罗斯，法国，印度和印度尼西亚的工作人员也出现在《流浪地球》中。最终，与美国人单方面拯救世界的美国电影不同，电影里来自不同国家的人聚集在一起拯救世界。整部电影强调了多边共识，这也是中国政府在现实国际事务中一直在推动的。

Everything considered, The Wandering Earth is not just one of China’s best movies of 2019, it could make a running for one of the world’s best movies of 2019. The film’s timely commentary on the need for world governments to unite against planetary threats, be they climate change or an expanding sun, is especially relevant in a world where certain leaders continue to deny the existence of climate change.

综合来看，《流浪地球》不仅仅是2019年最好的中国电影之一，它还可能成为2019年全球最好的电影之一。这部电影及时呼吁世界各国政府联合起来对抗全球威胁，无论是气候变化还是太阳爆炸。这点在当今某些*继续否认气候变化的背景下显得尤为重要。
