The acting was mediocre. The story was predictable. The characters were
In involving; you really didn’t care what happened to them. As for the sub theme about China’s transformation , not evident.The cinematography was poor with bland colors and dreary landscapes. The story line was odd and the lead, Qiao, did not evoke sympathy. And, while I’m at it, the movie was way too long. Indeed, there was nothing I could recommend in this movie. However I do wish the brief, odd scene with the ufo would have been expanded, like aliens landing and opening coffee shops, anything.
