Cherkasy

Best movie about war with russia Glory to Ukraine!

I was keen to watch this movie because of the atrocity that's right now, as I type this, being committed by Russia against the sovereign State and the people of Ukraine.

This movie, "U311 Cherkazy", is supposed to be about the Russians' annexation of the Crimea in 2014. But it isn't really about that at all.

You know, as something of a student of cinema and with a very, very large collection of movies, TV series etc on DVD and Blu-ray, I think the thing that most pisses me off is a movie that fails to deliver the goods. A very good example of this is the movie "Barry" which is SUPPOSEDLY about the early life of Barack Obama, but just isn't. That movie said nothing substantive about the young black man who would become President of the USA and this movie U311 Cherkasy, says next to nothing about what happened in the Black Sea and in the Crimea in 2014.

This movie runs only about 90 minutes but it was 57 minutes in before any Russian even appeared, menacingly or otherwise. The rest of the movie just involved minor skirmishes between the Russians and those few Ukrainians who, on that occasion, decided to give even the smallest FU to the Russians who would ultimately steal a part of Ukraine in what turned out to be something of a rehearsal for the terrible things that they're doing in the rest of Ukraine now. Eight years later.

I found "U311 Cherkasy" very much a waste of my time. It promised a lot, said very little, showed nearly nothing and simply failed to deliver.

Very, very poor in my opinion. 4 out of 10

Truthfully depicted, atmospheric and emotional. The plot and picture are rich and interesting, especially considering such a small budget.

In view of recent events, interest in Ukrainian military films is growing. In my opinion, this movie is definitely worth watching. The depiction of the events preceding the Russian aggression is quite accurate. This is confirmed by a large number of underestimates from Rusbots.

This is not a high-budget blockbuster, not a Marvel fantasy, but a movie about people, about their experiences and about the sense of dignity and duty, the desire for freedom even in front of a stronger enemy.

Amazing work where political issues and growing up comes hand-in-hand. A touching journey about boys becoming men depicted here with tasteful subtleness and great care for human complexity.

Have sponsored this mess of a ukranian heroic military flick. its a waiting gamefrom start to end, and at a scale of one to ten of heroism, this scores two. the russian annectation oc ukrainian crimea in 2014 was a cruel attack for sure, and the conflict is still going on, but this was a cheap deliverance of ukranian propagandism. its tells the difference between the patriot and the cujo, for the rest its just a story of a military ships cadaver dicipline and fresh seamen torture by the rules of the senior crew.

so as a historical document it doesnt qualify at all, productionwise its hyper analogue and made without the help of tomas dolby and the stereo brothers. theyve used the last remains of kodakcolour 35 mm cinemascope filmrolls to make this flare over the silverscreen, and as for the acting its daft, boring and absolutely out of order as a patriotic flick to cry out the national anthem for. ill bet the russians had a good laugh when viewing this.

the grumpy old man though ,have had great sympathies for the ukranian people after the insurgens and war activities started, so ill grant this flick a 4 in the memories of them lost lives and loss of existence and livelihood. a must see recommendation will not be cried out loud.
