History YMMV / TheWanderingEarth

* NarmCharm:
** Some find the ridiculous dialogue and over-the-top plot to be enjoyable.
** There's something charmingly stupid that the day is saved by [[spoiler:blowing up Jupiter]].

* FridgeHorror: A lot of the Earth Engine's components appear to be exposed to the elements. What would happen to these components and even better, the cities under the engines when the Earth gets farther and farther from the sun? Eventually, Earth's surface temperature will plummet to the very low temperatures of deep space. What would that mean to her inhabitants?

* AllForNothing: Some viewers feel that much of the third act was pointless; [[spoiler: repairing the Earth Engines, hacking one Earth Engine to have amplified output, calling hundreds of workers to help fire the engine]], all unnecessary. The only thing that was necessary was [[spoiler: Liu Peiqiang crashing the Navigation Platform International Space Station to ignite Jupiter; the amplified plasma beam didn't need to be there]].

** At one point one of the soldiers that is part of the group unloads his minigun in the general direction of ''Jupiter'' while cursing the planet. While it makes sense in the [[spoiler:fact that he's literally unloading his despair after MOSS transmits the fact the Earth is inevitably doomed]], the fact is that it's the Chinese up to eleven version of Steve Buscemi's character in ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'' going trigger-happy with a minigun (that had even ''less'' reason to be around) while yelling "MEET YOUR MAKER, ASTEROID!!"

* FlatCharacter: One of the primary criticisms of the movie, where most of the main characters are standard science fiction archetypes with rather simply motives and relationships.

* SmartJerkAndNiceMoron: Liu Qi, the smart jerk, and Tim, the nice moron.
* SpecialEffectsFailure: As beautiful as the visuals are, some things, such as the transport vehicles, occasionally look like they come from a video game

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: It's easy to see MOSS as simply a computer programmed to follow the orders of the Earth Government... [[spoiler:until you hear its FamousLastWords, [[OOCisSeriousBusiness cursing humanity for being unreasonable]]. It's basically impossible that this was a programmed response, so could it be that MOSS has developed sentience or self-awareness to an extent? What if its determination to continue with the Helios project is the result of a desire to save the space station, and therefore itself?]]

* DesignatedHero: Some of the heroes are irritating to certain viewers; Liu Qi is seen as an annoying and arrogant prick while Han Duoduo is seen as constantly-whining dead weight.
* FlatCharacter: One of the primary criticisms of the movie, especially that of the main character, Liu Qi.

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The movie draws ire for having similar elements to other movies such as Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey and Film/{{Gravity}}.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: As beautiful as the visuals are, some things, such as the transport vehicles, occasionally look like they come from a video game.
* StaticCharacter: Most of the characters go through very little development.

* DesignatedHero: Some of he heroes are irritating to certain viewers; Liu Qi is seen as an annoying and arrogant prick while Han Duoduo is seen as constantly-whining dead weight.

* {{Narm}}: Has quite a bit of this, partially from the plot which leaves a lot to the viewer's ability to suspend their disbelief, and the occasionally ridiculous dialogue.

Narm: Has quite a bit of this, partially from the plot which leaves a lot to the viewer's ability to suspend their disbelief.
VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The visuals are on par with big Hollywood movies and is cited as one of the movie's high points. The Earth Engines, Earth cruising through space, and Jupiter all look incredible.
