The film is of great significance to Chinese film industry. It's box office success signifies the birth of Chinese big-buget sci-fi sector of film industry. However, due to the lack of sufficient explanation and the looseness in scientific details, as a hard sci-fi venture, the wandering earth project has failed. Nonetheless, many flaws of the project attribute to the grand plan by Liu Cixin for this new section of the film industry. Many cast members are not top actors, and the production company is young. Hope this fresh beginning and planned failure would eventually lead to future success as Liu has envisioned.
