Synopsis
Restart the Earth (2021) is a Chinese sci-fi action film you can watch online on iFILM. Runaway climate change is baking the planet into desert, so scientists engineer a drug to speed up plant growth and rescue the dying ecosystem before it collapses for good.
The fix backfires badly. The serum gives ordinary vegetation a mind and an appetite, mutating harmless sprouts into towering predators that overrun humanity within days. A Chinese task force teams up with a widowed father and his young daughter, cutting a path through a world swallowed by living jungle to inject an antidote straight into the core of the infestation and reverse the bloom. Director Lin Zhenzhao leans on CGI monsters, a brisk pace and a family-survival thread running under the chaos. It never aims for depth, but it delivers as a solid evening ride for fans of Asian creature features about nature turning on its makers. Stream Restart the Earth online on iFILM.
