Time Wars

While lacking mind-blowing visuals and unforgettable characters, this Russian sci-fi offers a decent escape from the unwatchable horror of Hollywood productions like Avengers. It might not be a masterpiece, but it steers clear of the insult-to-watcher level, making it a sensible choice for those craving a more subdued sci-fi experience.

The film delivers a passable visual experience, not groundbreaking but sufficient to keep you engaged. The characters, while not iconic, manage to get the job done.

Ideal for a laid-back evening session, it's the kind of movie that's good enough to fall asleep to - a mellow alternative to the flashy spectacles Hollywood often serves up.

I generally like to watch any movies that have elements of time travel in them in any way. Even some of the low-budget time-travel b-movies out there can be enjoyable.

However this movie is totally let down by the voice acting/dubbing done. It appears the actors are mostly Russian and I imagine it was filmed in Russia too. The problem is, the actors do all speak in English but the voices we hear, very obviously, are not the actors on the screen. They seemingly had some random/generic American voice actors do ADR for the movie. Presumably because the Russian actors playing the parts had accents?

I feel like this odd choice ruined the film and really took me out of watching it. I would have rather had just heard the actors' real voices with their accents instead of this nonsense. Heck I would have even rathered they spoke in Russian and just had subtitles in English to what they did here.

Really odd production choice, I don't recall seeing another modern movie like this, and hope I don't come across another!

I rarely do these, but I saw someone say this is better than MCU movies. It's really not. Tommy Wiseau makes better movies than these people. Mediocre effects, silly writing and the acting? There isn't any. This is why you shouldn't start the movie, because god knows I couldn't finish it. I'm pretty sure the entire movie was redubbed, badly, in ADR too. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but if some gives a glowing review to a movie with 3 stars, you have to wonder if they were involved somehow. Imagine having to face loved ones involved in this movie and smile and nod while trying not to lie and compliment at the same time. Find a food you hate and spend 1 hour and 44 minutes eating that instead.

I'm really surprised by all the poor reviews in here. Right up front, this is not a "great" movie. I had doubts when I started it. Dubbing is, meh? Ok. Russian is hard to overdub to. I almost turned it off after 15 minutes or so, but it drew me in. Finally! A movie with a new storyline. One I hadn't come across before. It jumps back and forth in timelines, but in a very different way. It isn't the easiest movie to "follow", but that's OK. Think "Primer" or "Time Crimes". It's made on a smaller budget so don't expect HUGE CGI scenes. I found it quite entertaining. Others might not. But it is fresh, and worth a watch..

Really one of the worst encounters I have had. Acting is rubbish , plot non existant, graphics poor. Sqeecky female actors. It has nothing going for it. I can only imagine that this is a tax loss for some Russian oligarch or revenge on the west for recent political events. It is beyond bad and into appalling. I can onlt think that the script writers and I use that in the loosest sence were smoking something extremely potent and it affected their intelligence in a fairly disasterous way. My advice to anyone contemplating buying this is spend your money on some laxative and cut out the middle man.
