Plants Get Pissed Off and Fight Humanity in Trailer For The Chinese Sci-Fi Film RESTART THE EARTH
A trailer has been released for an upcoming Chinese sci-fi disaster movie titled Restart the Earth, and in it, plant life gets pissed off at humans and fights them! This is the kind of movie that I could see Roland Emmerich directing. Maybe he’ll direct the English language remake!
The synopsis for the film offers us some insight on the story and why the plants are attacking humans:
To fight desertification, human beings developed special drugs to promote the reproduction of plant cells, but accidentally liberated the plant stress system and awakened the plant intelligence. Over-proliferating plants quickly engulfed cities and attacked humans. A global green tide that can cause the disappearance of human civilization is about to strike. A global joint action team was dispatched to implement drugs to suppress plant activities. The Chinese team and the survivors met in danger, traversed the ruins of the city, and worked together to complete the difficult task.
The movie was directed by Zhenzhao Lin (The Unity of Heroes, Snakes, Monkey King: The Volcano, Snakes 2, The Enchanting Phantom, and Rats on a Train). The movie also stars Mickey He, Mi Luo, Michelle Ye, Li Ning, Li Ruoxi, Ye Xinyu, and Huang Kai-Lun.
This movie looks absolutely ridiculous. It might be one of those “so bad it’s good” movies, but this trailer is all I need to see of it.
