8. "Moon Man"
The sci-fi comedy film "Moon Man" is much more than just another comedy flick. The one-man space fantasia tells of one man's struggle to survive on the moon as he watches an asteroid hit Earth, believing he is the last human being in the universe. Though he focussed on creating an expensive sci-fi production, director Zhang Chiyu, from China's famous comedy school of Mahua FunAge, made sure not to neglect the comedic and human side of his story, exploring the desperation, dilemmas, and heroism shared by people. Starring comedy megastars Shen Teng and Ma Li, as well as an impressive CGI space kangaroo, the film mirrors the ironies in life, allowing its titular characters to eventually find redemption. The film, which gave people a chance to laugh during such a tough year, made a phenomenal 3.1 billion yuan at China's box office, helping it become the second highest-grossing film in 2022 and no. 14 of all time.
