The Wandering Earth - 2019 - 6/10
AKA - Liu Lang di Qiu

Earth is doomed! Again. This time, it ain’t us, it ain’t alien invaders. Nope, our Sun is going supernova.
What to do? What to do? How about build 10,000 thrusters and shuttle the whole planet 4 light years distant?
Science majors, quit rolling your eyes and bail already.
Those who can tolerate heroic SciFi actioners, this should be OK.
Lots of characters, a fair amount who are annoyingly young and plucky.
Most of the drama occurs early in the voyage, around year 15 of a 2500 year trip.
Calculations for using Jupiter as a slingshot are a twee bit off, igniting a mad scrambling.
There is a part 2, and this was OK enough that I may view down the line.
