I was pretty disappointed with it tbh.....
The effects were good but, and the storyline makes a great book, but I found the film less than compelling.

Is there a token yankee in a courageous sub-plot, eating a hamburger?

Yes. Played by one of the Hemsworth brothers.

Not a film... but just read this. Found it in Lidl's book charity box.

"A Fire Upon the Deep" by Vernor Vinge

This would make a great film 🙂 especially with today's CGI etc.

Wandering earth.
great effects and ideas. shame they are trying to make films like the US with crappy over sentimentality and the same old cliched characters. could have been so much better

A Fire Upon the Deep” by Vernor Vinge

He’s written some good stuff. I thought A Deepness in the Sky was better than Fire Upon the Deep but they are both good.
