Spontaneous Saturday night viewing at the Chinatown Cinema; I'd heard about this Chinese-made space blockbuster through an Economist article about the ways it reflects a Communist Party worldview, and watched through that lens it was quite interesting (as pure entertainment, it was ok but a bit baggy and unclear at times, as well as being under-characterised, although I recognised that style, and the relatively disposable approach to heroes, as one that's characteristic of Chinese epic storytelling).
