What Journey to the West is

Another day, another UFO cult with a loyalty to mismatched socks. Tang Zhijun, a sci-fi editor with tenure in skepticism, chases a tip from a twitchy prophet who insists the stars are texting him. The real aliens may still be out there, but the film stumbles into something quietly human instead.
