Attraction

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.

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..

Interesting because it's somewhat differente vs "western" films. Great concept of story, excellent visuals, charming actors; but ALL RUINED with poor writing, and no better direction. Russian? Really? Looks intentionally phony. Characters are terribly inconsistent -- caricatures of people acting out-of-character to fit each "need twist" in the story. I bothered to write this becasue I liked the good enough, to feel very disappointed with the whole.

Beautiful special effects and original alien design; It's a shame, because the idiocy of the plot (young Russians acting as dumb) makes it a wasteful opportunity to develop a good sci-fi movie. Lately, Russia has given sample on how to compete with Hollywood (see Guardians), but the difference between making a good movie and a bad one are always the same: a strong story with new ideas.

Quite a decent SciFi. The effects are absolutely top notch! Seriously, Russia needs to make more movies like this and also distribute them in English. On the other hand, the story is a bit weak and if this is how Russians behave in real life, then maybe the western narrative of "aggressive Russia" is not that false.
