The Blackout

Comparable with Hollywood. I really enjoyed watching, the acting is great, story pretty thrilling. The special effects are definitely great. I wonder why this series has only 6,1

After you get over the dubbing which is in no way bad just a little wierd with lip movement not matching this is surprisingly good. The English dubbing is actually very well done. I get hints of skyline, battle Los Angeles and maybe even falling skies. I won't spoil the plot but I will say its pretty good. Not being familiar with Russian movies I have no idea if there are stars in it, but the acting is perfectly acceptable. There are a few well placed special effects all of which were tastefully and professionally done. I went in with low expectations and enjoyed it. As in a previous comment maybe a bit more editing would have been nice because it's a bit long for 2 hours.

It's a decent alien movie, but I just couldn't handle the emotionless and amateuristical american dubbing. It was the worst I ever heard. So I watched the original with subtitles. I can recommend that to every sci-fi lover.

A Russian end of the world movie that is as good as any out of Hollywood. Good acting, fairly good effects, and a decent story. The action scenes are very good, and at 2 hours, doesn't drag.

Worth watching, but it is in Russian, so subtitles will be required for non-speakers.

First of all, it kept me entertained from start to finish. The pace of it (story) and the visuals were there. I'd say, the camera work was well above par, astounding even, and the CGI works were also outstanding, up there with the 200 million dollars Hollywood blockbusters. That said, the character development was poor. There were some real joy in waiting character-wise that never happened. A waste. There was also too much killing, unnecessarily. But the story was good, believable and almost unique, compared with recent movies.
