      Seems to me it's not just the Chinese who are prickly 😆

          My guess is I've probably seen it about 15 times over the last couple of decades.

            Perhaps.

            I don't hold movies to the standard of Great Art. I want to be entertained and I don't want to overthink every sentence of dialogue or every nuance of plot.

            I found the movie entertaining on the summer theater/pocorn munching level. If you don't find it to be your cup of tea, then you have many more options.

                    I swear social media is accelerating the rise of defective thinking. People used to fail tests, be told to shut up and weren’t hired for jobs when they thought this way. Now it’s just the beginning of a viral launch.

                      The sad thing is that most Chinese people have most likely only heard about one collapsed apartment building in the last few years. The one in America, not the countless disasters in PRC.

                        I'm watching the movie now.

                        What. A. Load. Of. Bollocks.

                        Rambo meets Alien, but without the sophisticated story-line.

                              The premise is that they need bodies to go to the frontline. Statistically, you’d figure four to five times more Chinese would get sent than Americans as the current population count is 1.444 billion Chinese nationals vs. 333 million US nationals.

                                  You‘re saying the Chinese nationals live longer than the US nationals? Life expectancy statistics generally do not support that.

                                      I’ve got to side with Phibes on this. We turned it off an hour into it.

                                      It’s like they decided to mash up Independance Day, Edge of Tomorrow, and Interstellar…

                                        Having thought about it a bit, the disappointment for me was the lack of humour. It was a waste of Chris Pratt. Fighting ridiculous aliens from the future should not be a serious business.
