I am a huge fan of Stephen Chow, and just saw this in Hong Kong on the date of release. Audiences expecting lots of laughs may be disappointed in his new film, as the focus is on the relationship and bonding between Father and Son with many touching moments and a few laughs here and there. If I must categorize this movie, it is more of a Drama/Sci-Fi rather than a Comedy/Sci-Fi as I originally thought. But, I must say that Stephen's and the kid's acting is definitely excellent and very convincing and I saw a few girls sobbing in the theater. (And that's a first for Stephen Chow movies!!!) I guess Stephen Chow is getting more serious in acting and directing as he grows older. But, deep down inside, I am still yearning for the original "mo lei tou" type of comedy which is more fun!
