Sometimes in films there are mistakes, people pick up on those mistakes and make fun of them. Every so often there is a parody of the film: "Shawn of the Dead" to "Dawn of the Dead", "Space Balls" to "Star Wars". But this film is so horrible that it would be impossible to actually make a parody of it, because in order to do that you would have to make something which made less sense or had worse acting.

The "Sweeded" version of the film would actually be an improvement to the stupidity that was created here. The makers should be ashamed. All the actors have just seriously damaged their carriers.

This is a great film if you look at it from a purely graphical perspective. I did not see the film in 3D, but i bet that it would be a great experience. I'm waiting for the DVD to come out so that i can watch the making of and listen to director's commentary; i'm really interested to know how all this was created (from the initial thinking process to the eventual computer graphics).

However, here the good comments about this film end.

The plot is highly predictable. Which would be OK if there would be a solid character development in the film, but there was not. I was laughing throughout all the intense moments, because they were shown as plot-twists, but one could predict them at least 30 minutes in advance.

In conclusion i'd recommend that people watch this film if they want to see individual scenes (many of which are greatly done) or to marvel at the technology of computer graphics. But if you want to see a solid good motion picture, i recommend to give this one a miss.

Yet another example of "Russian Hollywood". The "highlight" of this movie is the continuing glorification of the war (which almost all war movies do) and a lot of patriotism (same).

While there seemed to be a couple of attempts to develop some characters in the movie, i can only remember a couple, the rest are becoming single faced mass of actors, who wouldn't know the difference between playing a tree in the kindergarten play and a porno star in the smut film.

The film didn't eve mannage to tell the whole story (which might have remmedied it, as it was suppose to be a documentary). Very important parts were cut out when compared with the book.
