El reto

Though some parts of the movie takes place in space, you don't categorize it as science-fiction but rather drama. This gives us a clue of a new era not only in space but also in film industry.

Many scenes are not fictious, they are real. They match with what we saw at documentaries about International Space Station (ISS).

I'm not sure whether the blood in an open wound would behave like that, or how real was the operation. That is something a medical doctor can talk more about.

It also seems very dangerous to allow to carry a sharp object during space walk.

The movie deserves an eight from me not only because it is the first movie ever to be filmed in space, but also its extraordinary scenario.

I found this movie rather enjoyable. It may have it's issues, after all no movie is perfect. However credit must be given for the performance of the main actress and for the simple fact that this movie was shot in space and still looked good. And to address the negative reviews I must say this. This movie was made to be as realistic as possible and was filmed under significant constrictions. Filming with real equipment for the space programme, aircraft, spacecraft including the ISS, as well as real locations or detailed sets based on them. Multiple "actors" were not experienced actors but space industry professionals. Real cosmonauts, technicians, doctors and others. And finally, when it comes to reviews for this movie on this website I find them extremely suspicious. The majority of the reviews are above 5/10, afterwards very few reviews between 5 and 2/10 , and then a huge spike of 1/10. To me, based on pure logic, this seems like review bombing or negative reviews based only on the fact that this movie is Russian. I find it extremely suspicious that almost nobody reviewed it from 2 to 5.

The plot is very refreshing because its so realistic with no overemphasized scene so often seen in Hollywood's movies.

If you expected some sci-fi movie you are into the big surprise. All scene are realistic and it gest so much better when you are aware "this scene inside space station are really shoot inside space station".

It is a great success that they managed to create a plot that is interesting to keep your attention all the time even the scene is "realistic".

For those expecting space sci-fi drama are probably to be disappointed, for other they will be surprise that whole action is going on real-life present space station.

Big recommendation to watch this in cinema.

I had a great day today, the best thing about today is going to the movies!) So I went to see the movie "The Challenge" I'll start by saying that this year makes me happy for the newest of our films.

And, Challenge is no exception!

"Challenge" is the first and hopefully not the last Russian film made about space and space.

The film is beautiful, with excellent acting, a wonderful and exciting story, and the film was interesting and not boring, even though the film has a running time of 164 minutes.

The plot of the film is simple, but I repeat that it is beautiful.

This movie has some great actors: Julia Peresild, Milos Bikovich, Vladimir Mashkov, Elena Valyushkina and many, many good actors.

They played great, like other actors and I think that these are their best roles!

Also, I want to note the excellent camera work and views of space and a wonderful soundtrack, where all the songs perfectly complement the film.

The song of the singer Yolka on the credits is gorgeous.

In general, I found only pluses in this film, not minuses!

As a result, the film "The Challenge" is a wonderful and not ashamed best Russian film this year.

I consider it the best Russian film of the year, except for "Cheburashka" and "Going".

I give "The Challenge" 10 out of 10 and I advise you to watch this film in the cinema!

Home will be a completely different experience than in the cinema!

P. S: By the way, I went to the VIP room today, and it's beautiful!!!

If tickets cost 500 rubles each, like today, then I would just go there!) P. S. S: By the way, I haven't left the hall with dizziness and headache for a long time, because there are scenes in this film that made my head spin for some reason!

With so many things being fake and distorted today, this movie takes a special place on the pedestal of cinema history due to its real portrayal of people living in extreme conditions on a space station. This is a story about love, life, space, and human beings with their problems and weaknesses. For anyone looking for an action movie with special effects, space battles, and other fiction, this movie is probably not for you.

Shot beautifully with incredible scenes from a real space station, scenes of a rocket launch, and very talented actors.

What sets this movie apart is that it makes you believe in human potential, strength, and character.

I am proud to be Russian, regardless of any current circumstances, and thankful to anyone involved in a production of this amazing film.
