First things first. This totally funky non-Chinese title means “Through difficulties to the stars” in Latin.

There’s no difficulty though in recognising where the CGI-ed fun-fair ideas in this Dylan Wang sci-fi thriller are culled from. In a good way. Because the knock-offs, though choppy, come together for a rousing, rip-roaring mad time. Scenarios keep changing here as if we're playing mobile-phone games.
