A gigantic science fiction film is hidden in the Netflix catalog and has a completely absurd premise: the Earth is leaving our solar system.
If you love sci-fi epic blockbusters and still don’t know what to watch tonight, we’ve got the perfect stream recommendation for you. You can check out Drifting Earth on Netflix. It is one of the most absurd visions of the future ever. Because here the earth moves in space.
Drifting Earth is a 2019 Chinese production, which became an absolute box office hit at the time. The sci-fi blockbuster, which cost only $50 million, managed to gross $700 million. Given the premise, it’s no wonder. It looks amazing.
Netflix sci-fi hit: the sun threatens to destroy the earth, so the earth must flee
The story of The Wandering Earth takes us to the year 2061. The Sun has passed its peak and is turning into a red giant that threatens to destroy the earth. As a result, humanity comes together to devise an incredible contingency plan. Earth must be transported to another solar system.
How does a planet move in space? Very simple: you turn it into a spaceship. Huge thrusters are installed to knock the Earth out of orbit. As the rotation of the Earth is disrupted during this process, various natural disasters pose an additional threat.
