The Challenge

I found this movie to be quite enjoyable and it felet surprisingly short for being such a long movie.

Often foreign movies (even movies from Sweden where I'm from) I find boring and not so good, but I did kind of like this one. Fair enough, I do like space and follow the space industry fairly closely so this helped.

I thoroughly enjoyed the fact we got to see real cosmonoauts, who really delivered in all aspects - kudos to them. A real Soyuz launch from Baikonur, great stuff!

But most importantly, it was great to see the real ISS and some actual zero-G physics in action. Surely enough, the story line went as expected but every movie musn't be Shuttler Island with a twist to be good.

With so many things being fake and distorted today, this movie takes a special place on the pedestal of cinema history due to its real portrayal of people living in extreme conditions on a space station. This is a story about love, life, space, and human beings with their problems and weaknesses. For anyone looking for an action movie with special effects, space battles, and other fiction, this movie is probably not for you.

Shot beautifully with incredible scenes from a real space station, scenes of a rocket launch, and very talented actors.

What sets this movie apart is that it makes you believe in human potential, strength, and character.

I am proud to be Russian, regardless of any current circumstances, and thankful to anyone involved in a production of this amazing film.

Movie is nice from all points of view. Even if you don't know about real space shooting its' beautiful and precise to details. But when you realize that its real ISS every little detail takes your eye on it. Earth parts, 3d graphic part and real space parts looks really smooth and not makes any dissonance.

Storyline is fine. Characters are shown really nice. Special grats to real spacemen at ISS who uncovered as well as actors. Humanity stepped deeper to space - making entertainment movies in such dangerous and amazing environment.

Director (and operator at space as well) made great job together with actress Yulia Peresild.

I easily can recommend this movie.

Not a fan of Russian cinematography. I watched many Russian movies and didnt't find them good enough. Especially those with sci-fi theme. Only one I found to be more than just watchable, was " The ninth company". But, I went to watch this movie due to curiosity of it being filmed in ISS, and I must say that this was by far the best Russian movie I've ever watched. Everything was so realistic that one could get a feeling of what is it like being in space. Only downside is "acting" of some of the crew members, but considering they were real astronauts and not proffessional actors, that wasn't big deal. Overall, better then the most of American space movies. I would recomend this movie.

No Hollywood can shoot a movie like this. Just amazing REAL scenes on the ISS. Just incredibly emotional story. Sometimes you need to fly into space to get rid of the burden of earthly problems.
