      James Mudge easternKicks.com It's hard to see Shanghai Fortress as anything other than a massive misstep, and as a film that even the least discerning sci-fi or romance fans are unlikely to enjoy. Rated: 1/5 Sep 16, 2020 Full Review Richard Yu Cinema Escapist While Shanghai Fortress is not likely to win any awards, it's adequate if you're looking for brainless entertainment Sep 15, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Cookie M Sometimes you have to see the movie for what it is. I enjoy science fiction be it a independence day type, or this B style movie filled with folks fighting to save the human race. Set back and just enjoy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Chris M IMDB says the year is 2035, but the movie never mentions the year, not once. The aliens look like robots that curl up into balls. But have humanoid "Terminator" style robots too. We never learn anything about the aliens and they never speak, not even in an alien language. Plus the plan to hide forever is a stupid one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Audience Member Personally I thought that the idea of a future Shanghai plus action is a pretty good combination. And it didn't really disappoint me with the good idea aspect. But the thing that kind of gives this movie away is the bad acting. The acting is pretty bad. But the action which is very little but when the action is there it's done okay. Not amazing but okay. What holds this movie back is the bad acting and the lack of an actually interesting story. But certain parts can be interesting to a certain kind of people. If you want a movie filled with action, with aliens, and good acting I wouldn't recommend Shanghai Fortress. But if you're looking for a decent movie that shines at times not filled with action like some other Chinese films then I would recommend Shanghai Fortress. 我个人认为，未来上海加行动的想法是一个相当不错的组合。它并没有真正让我对好主意感到失望。 但让这部电影消失的是糟糕的演技。演技相当糟糕。但是动作非常小，但是当动作在那里时，它就做得很好。不是很好，但还好。阻碍这部电影的是糟糕的演技和缺乏一个真正有趣的故事。但是某些部分对某种人来说可能很有趣。如果你想要一部充满动作、外星人和好演技的电影，我不会推荐《上海要塞》。 但是，如果你正在寻找一部像样的电影，有时不像其他一些中国电影那样充满动作，那么我会推荐《上海要塞》。 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review paul b Borrowed from every sci-fi film in existence, but it passed the time on the night my covid symptoms started to manifest. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a big stupid sci-fi film, comparable to Independence day or the later Transformers films Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Lacks character development. No chemistry between the actors. Good VFX. If you like watching movies for cool VFX, check it out. Think of it as a B level Independence Day type movie.
