D'ici cent ans

Decent start but horrible ending.

This movie after 30 minutes dramatically evolves from a decent film to a confusing, random, mess. The film definitely had potential and a good base since it's based off an old classic which from what I've heard was superb. However the film just tried too hard to stand out, the designs were over the top and so was the story, too much happening all at once is never the key to a masterpiece of a movie. This movie also had moments where the main character had to stop the scene and explain why and how something happened, goes to shows how confusing and utterly stupid and ridiculous this film is. My recommendation is just to watch the old movie.

The only problem I had with this is while they tried hard there are still a few moments where the FX should be better.

Other than that everything is quite descent: the acting, the characters, the plot, the sound and visual design.

Going in with no expectations for this particular movie and having an overall low opinion about Russian mainstream movie industry, I was pleasantly entertained and didn't notice how the 2+ hrs ended.

I felel the characters of both main villains are very charismatic, and quite a few of the good guys also were fun to watch, including, but not limited to Kolya and Alisa (and I'm an "original 80's Alisa" fan, so might have been too hostile as well - well I'm not!), I also loved how they left some Easter eggs and connected this piece with other ones from the Universe.

I'm sure there are some plot holes, it's impossible to find a movie without them, but tbh I can't put a finger on'em the way I usually can. Idk, may be I'm just getting stupid or smth.

Anyway, have fun, watch the movie, learn it's message, remember Kir Bulychev, read a book!

This is not doubt movie that has quality (of some sort at least).

It is dynamic enough (even if lots of scenes are elongated with no reason). It has good enough CGI (even if amount of references/borrows is terrible). It has seed of a descent plot (even if it has almost nothing common with original and, for the sake of truth, originals, both film and book, are for 12 yo).

The main problem, as with almost all other modern russian movies, is, sadly, complete absence of originality. Both inner and outer.

Balding producers and elderly championnesses of morality/patriotism are desperate (and hopeless) to be on the "same wave" as next generation. It could be funny if it wasn't so profane, tasteless and mediocre. They are trying to create culture but completely do not understand neither what they are doing nor that culture changed dramatically over 50 years. The saddest thing is, they refuse to learn "new reality", even if they declare this new reality almost every day over the past few years.

As a result, this movie is for no one. Attempts to be modern are clumsy and at least five years late. Plot turns to be empty and leads nowhere. Instead of bright and inspiring future footage is filled by teen's foolish showdowns. Picture is colorful and smooth but lacks meaning.

Great example of what happens when artwork is started by free creative spirit and finished by high-rank soviet censors (yes, they still exist).

I was quite skeptical about this film adaptation of Kir Bulychev's book, which I have loved since childhood. A great story for young teenagers, which was read at the time, remained a warm memory for a lifetime. And the unsuccessful transfer to the screen is what really worried me. And Russian cinema is always roulette. Sometimes you can watch a really cool movie from movie makers, and sometimes you get to something awkward, which is hard to call a movie. Therefore, I approached watching the new film with caution. But all my fears were in vain. I really liked the movie. Saturated, dynamic, bright.

"A Hundred Years Ahead" was directed by Alexander Andryushchenko. The director bases his work on the story of the same name by the famous science fiction writer Kir Bulychev, where time travel is present, and the plot revolves around Alice and Kolya, who find themselves together in the maelstrom of events. The picture is an exciting teen fiction with a brisk pace of narration. The events are perfectly adapted to the modern realities of the world, and the future is presented in a very interesting light. The painting successfully combines elements of adventure, drama and fiction, creating an exciting and fascinating story.

The film involves excellent actors, both well-established and well-known, as well as young and promising ones, who cope with the tasks one hundred percent. Everyone is good: Konstantin Khabensky, Alexander Petrov, Victoria Isakova, Fyodor Bondarchuk, who have a long track record behind them and confidently reveal their characters, are perceived in a familiar way. Daria Vereshchagina and Mark Eidelstein, who played the main roles of Alice and Kolya, have much more interesting incarnations. Great job and incredible chemistry between the actors. The supporting actors have good jobs: Yuri Borisov, Sofa Tsibireva, Matvey Astrakhantsev and Kirill Mitrofanov. Their characters are successfully woven into the story and played beautifully. Yes. Of course, you can't do without various kinds of cliches, but, in general, everyone is in their place. And the questions are more about the script.

Alexander Petrov is especially remembered. His villain, the Merry Man, at first seemed too unreal, a kind of Jack Sparrow at maximum, but then you get used to the image, and Petrov demonstrates all his acting talent, transforming into a famous book character. Alexander absolutely succeeded in this image. He literally becomes the center of this story, despite the fact that he seems to be a villain and not the main character. And even if the character's storyline is quite bland, it is Petrov's acting that pulls the hero almost to the forefront. Alexander's confident playing brings depth and charisma to the character, making him at the same time decisive, aggressive and emotionally difficult.

Alice cannot be ignored either. He is an iconic character. She was played by Daria Vereshchagina. And this is a gorgeous interpretation of the heroine from the book, which perfectly combines the features of the original source and the modern vision of the character. The girl with pink hair is the epitome of curiosity, courage and sincerity. Alice is the central figure of the story, and Dasha does an excellent job of conveying all the nuances of her character. She easily wins sympathy and makes traveling through the futuristic world even more exciting.

The special effects in "A Hundred Years Ahead" deserve special praise. The visual effects team has done an impressive job creating realistic and immersive scenes that immerse viewers in the world of the future. Technologically advanced cities, spaceships and a variety of futuristic devices look incredibly believable and detailed. The visual effects are not only impressive in their beauty, but also effectively support the plot, making it more dynamic and exciting. They may not tell us much about the world of the future and the technologies that exist there, but the footage speaks for itself. The world looks alive and real in a hundred years.

Alexander Andryushchenko's directorial work also deserves high praise. He skillfully balances between action, drama and comedy, creating a film that holds the audience's attention from beginning to end. Andryushchenko shows skill in creating intense and emotionally intense scenes, which makes the picture really exciting and memorable. And it is immediately clear that the main audience of the project should be young viewers. The project is definitely designed for them. But this movie is also a win-win because several generations of adults grew up reading books about Alice, which means they will definitely watch this movie. And it is important that the film turned out to be worthy.

The script skillfully adapts the original novel, preserving its spirit and basic ideas, but adding modern elements that make the story relevant to today's audience. The dialogues are almost always well written, the characters are multifaceted and interesting, and the plot twists keep you in suspense and surprise (not always positively, but nevertheless).

The musical accompaniment also plays an important role in creating the atmosphere of the film. The soundtrack complements the visual effects and enhances the emotional impact of key scenes, adding depth to them.

"One Hundred Years Ahead" is an impressive and fascinating science fiction film that combines great acting, stunning special effects and an interesting image of the future. But much more important, in my opinion, is a careful attitude to the original source. Bulychev created what is now considered to be a classic of Soviet fiction, something with which generations of today's grandparents could dream of the future: brave new worlds, space conquests, developed societies. And let the twenty-first century turn out to be different, different from what Kir Bulychev saw in his works, but we, today's people, it seems, no longer look at the stars and the surrounding reality, as we looked when we read Bulychev's books as children. The finale of the film made us think about Bulychev's contribution to scientific and, more importantly, children's fiction. For me, this is a man who has taught many of us to dream. Thanks for that.

8 out of 10.

I agree, the description is not very good. The trailers are most likely the same. I don't know, I haven't looked. From the promotional materials, I was familiar with the poster, which is also... And the legendary kalab in Delicious and .

There was an old TV series called Guest from the Future. Pensioners like it, but in fact the product is uninteresting both in childhood and now.

I just saw the opinions, they say the new film adaptation should have been kind of like that back then!!! And as a result, at the beginning of the film they write that the film is only based on some kind of story and is not obliged to follow the original in terms of plot. Probably shouldn't. I haven't read children's fiction.

What about the new film as a result?!

I rarely come across good films made here. To be fair, I rarely watch them. Well, there's a problem with positioning and promotion in general. It doesn't matter how cool your product is. If no one knows about him, then what?! Nothing.

Well, that's it.

Was the movie interesting? Handsome? Yes and yes. It is impossible to describe it even shorter. For such a genre, these are probably the main characteristics. 2 hours and 20 minutes fly by quickly and it's interesting to watch!

No, just imagine. The film cost 1 billion rubles. It seems like a lot, right? And if you convert it into dollars? Well, let's have a ten point margin of error. We keep in mind that it was taken down no one knows when.

Perhaps reviewing or watching for the first time at home, someone will notice that the graphics in places were not straight WOW!!! Well I do not know. It was not noticeable in the cinema. You can see where they got their inspiration from, but the very fact of being able to recreate this and that is amazing.

The plot is certainly weak. If the technical component is pumped from year to year, then the filling ... Is it that important? Well, specifically here we have a teen movie about a beautiful picture and jokes with a wonderful cast, consisting of both well-established people, both talented people and young actors who are still not playing out in places, but we must give chances to young talents...

The bad plot is shorter, we're moving on.

Well, he said about the actors. He said, but not all of them.

Yura Borisov, unfortunately... I'm not happy. The stone plays with 15 minutes of screen time. Sorry...

But Alexander Petrov plays like... He plays some kind of Pokemon, which is sometimes evil, sometimes kind. He plays well. This role suits him, because before that Sasha Petrov played Sasha Petrov in different costumes, But now he is a Cosmo pirate.

How to sum it all up like this?

A cool movie that didn't pay off and became unprofitable.

Here you are, the one who is reading this, go to the cinema. Take the Pushkin map and go. And call your mom and call your mom if you're alive. I was there at the session, Grandma was alone. So you call your grandmother so that she doesn't sit alone.
