Attraction: la guerra ha comenzado

Beautiful special effects and original alien design; It's a shame, because the idiocy of the plot (young Russians acting as dumb) makes it a wasteful opportunity to develop a good sci-fi movie. Lately, Russia has given sample on how to compete with Hollywood (see Guardians), but the difference between making a good movie and a bad one are always the same: a strong story with new ideas.

Although story is not usual invasion story, it has similar versions in other movies. It is also rushed and has some holes in it, but it is nothing new for this genre. People say story is weak, but after covid, I really cant say stupid decisions characters take are unrealistic. As others say it is a love story suggesting love can overcome everything. Also it is trying to give a message we all figured out by now, that we will destroy ourselves. other than that acting is ok, it is watchable. Visuals are very good, in fact might even be the best cgi for a while, and visuals made me watch the movie mostly. If you like sci-fi and have nothing better to do this might be good to pass the time.

I absolutely love the design and CGI. It was well worth my time. The story ain't that bad either, good acting.. as far as I can tell but I don't speak any Russian so.. who knows..

For me this one ranks right next to films like: Edge of tomorrow, Oblivion, Elysium, District 9 & Pacific Rim.

I might be biased towards SciFi flicks tho.. haha.. and it's nice to see aliens come down somewhere else then Los Angeles :-P

So.. If you love SciFi.. Give it a try..

I'll watch anything sci fi, but at the same time I consider myself a sci fi snob and will be extremely, harshly critical of what I watch.

This was worth my time. I had it on as background while I was multitasking, but it quickly grabbed my full attention.

Lots of room from improvement, but very acceptable as it stands. I'm sure we'll see that improvement in future offers.

I'm really enjoying our current availability of fare from sources other than Hollywood, especially Independents and Europe/Russia/Aust/NZ.

Hollywood lately has a rot, where almost everything movie and television uses social agenda pandering central to the plot. "Attraction" is simple entertainment, and that's all I want!

Good job!

Quite a decent SciFi. The effects are absolutely top notch! Seriously, Russia needs to make more movies like this and also distribute them in English. On the other hand, the story is a bit weak and if this is how Russians behave in real life, then maybe the western narrative of "aggressive Russia" is not that false.
