The Crew

Awesome movie ....a salute to the director of this movie....never ending thrill and adventure is there in this movie...team work and dedication can do anything .... brilliant direction and visual effects....must watch an awesome movie

I must say I quite enjoyed this film .. although the English dubbing left a lot to be desired .. I think subtitles would have been better ....... lot's of good effects and some quite good 'edge of your seat' moments.

The Movie itself is pretty good on how it's made. It's build up really well throughout by introducing the characters and the struggles they have in their lives. The story is standard for a disaster movie goes and isn't the best told. There's a couple of side plots that goes on what you expected like the romance plotline and the relationship between a father and his son. The characters are build up pretty well in this movie. When it gets to the disaster scenes that's when the movie becomes suspenseful. It shows the danger the characters are in like a active volcano and flowing lava towards them. The special effects are done really well in this movie and looks somewhat realistic. Later in the movie there's a scene that I don't even know if it's possible to do in real life and is extremely dangerous to do it.

Overall I have fun watching this movie.

This movie is worth watching. You will forget about popcorn. I didn't notice how 2 hours had passed. It impressed me more than Revenant. It made me cry a few times. It is very deep and dramatic. Kozlovsky is not just very handsome, but also a talented actor! You totally believe everything he does. The movie combines both Russian drama traditions and modern action. The plot concerns not just a catastrophe, but also important issues like family values, human dignity and courage. Bright, colorful, emotional, interesting to watch. Inspired by the 1979 Soviet film Air Crew, it was the second catastrophe film shot in the Russian Federation. The film was shot in digital 3D IMAX camera and become the second Russian film shot using this equipment after Stalingrad (2013) by Fedor Bondarchuk. The filming took place in Moscow, Moscow region and in the Crimean peninsula. In the peninsula they filmed on as the earthquake-prone island volcano in the Indian Ocean. The crew has shot the flight scenes in two planes: The Tupolev Tu-204SM (RA-64151 board) and decommissioned Tupolev Tu-154 of Kosmos Airlines (RA-85796 board).

Ok this filmed is filled with Cliché characters, bad dubbing and rather unrealistic . But if you can get passed all that, and understand this is a foreign made film streaming on Netflix and keep your expectations accordingly. When the action finally starts ramping up. It's a fun, exciting, on the edge of your seat action film. I actually enjoyed it.
