After watching it, it seems that Busy Auntie really likes riding bicycles. This should be the most unique style movie in recent years, it's too crazy! Although the plot is rather conventional (saving the world), the director's imagination is particularly rich, and the shooting technique is very interesting, which makes people not feel boring. It feels that the picture of the film was relatively narrow in 1999, but it will become wider in 2019, and many of the pictures in the film are very beautiful (at the beginning, Rocket used wires to jump down from the company building with the female owner after rectifying the workplace) (of course, there are also some crazy)! The transition scenes are the best I've ever seen this year, and the comic style special effects are particularly good. There is a sense of excitement when used in fighting scenes (normal special effects are also good), and the fighting scenes are well done (even a bit like a B-level movie). The overall humor of the film is at the beginning and end (the ending is really nonsensical), even funnier than some comedy films. The only downside is that the plot is too light, but with so many elements in 98 minutes, it's still very bold.

"If you are in pain, it is only temporary" said the director via a video prior to the start of the film screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. If this was true, then the film would have been over in a minute or two.

"The greatest lie we tell ourselves is that things will get better when we grow up."

This theme seemed enticing, and it helped lead me to see this film. Also the comparison to a Stephen Chow film (whose films I love). However, the film didn't follow the premise or compare to Chow. It didn't follow any premise except trying to look cool. No depth, and no purpose. And really, falling into a chemical spill gives the characters the ability to time travel?! I don't mind giving a story line the benefit of the doubt, but this isn't brilliant or creative, it's just dumb.

No pun intended - I can understand people making that connection ... but this is on another crazy plane ... and I mean that as a compliment, just in case it is not clear. Escaping the future or escaping the past? Sometimes the one and sometimes the other - I am not sure if all makes sense ... but the movie that also has quite a lot of animation ... goes over the top! This really challenges your viewing pattern ... whatever you are used to watch ... however you think the structure of a movie should be.

All on the table ... or in the realms of ... well timelines! This is really quite something! It is tough to express in words ... this really caught me off guard ... I was going to call this "Smells like teen spirit" ... in the summary headline ... but then I went with the movie tagline. The one I didn't choose is on a shirt and also a pun ... considering all the teens and the subject matter in it ... open your mind and let this crazy world consume it ... or you consume it ... whichever way works! Just do not sneeze (too often)

Yes, I'd like to say a few words. Thank you.

Li Yang is undoubtedly one of the most imaginative and free-spirited directors among China's talented filmmakers.

Another similar director might be Han Yan.

The comparison is not about who is better. Han Yan probably can't be as reckless as Li Yang, and Li Yang probably can't draw freedom following strict principles like Han Yan.

Imaginative filmmakers are, of course, not rare, but what's rare is a director like Li Yang who can accurately express every form of imaginative freedom.

Chinese cinema definitely needs Li Yang, just as it needs Han Yan, Cheng Er, and Guo Fan.

That's why I feel somewhat frustrated about this film's box office performance. Han Yan's 'Animal World' had over 500 million yuan at the box office. That's a ticket for Han Yan to go on and on.

I'm afraid Li Yang might be gone after this. It's okay if Bi Gan disappeared. Not Li Yang.
