If you can get past the terrible English dubs of the main cast - don't ask me why the tertiary characters were good and they skimped on the main cast - this is a beautiful sci-fi gem.

You can see the quality of acting behind the dubs. The story is good. The visuals were superb.

I wish Amazon had it in the original Russian with English subs.

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've just finished watching the movie, and, as a Sci-Fi buff I must say it bored me to death. Please don't compare this to District 9 or Independence Day, or Alien or whatever, it deserves it's low rating. From start to end you can see it's an ambitious project, but it fails in all aspects, no action, no deep psychological meaning, not even one great moment to remember. It's all so-so from start to end, no character development and the ending absolutely anti-climactic. I couldn't care less about the protagonists life in the end, pretty much says it all.

This is a weak sci-fi love flick. The CGI imagery is exceptional. There is ethnic varIety in the selection of young actors, showing the racial diversity in Russia but none of actors develop into 3 dimensional characters. The film paints Russian youth with irrational phobias and depicts the hierarchy of the Russian politicians and military leaders as totally ineffective and sissified. The story is irrational, especially the love-hate relationships. The only take away is give extraterrestrials a chance to explain their intensions.

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..
