A beautiful film, a great story, what a bit pompous and propagandistic, but those were the times. I think it was also perfectly conveyed.
Touching dramatic development with lots of suspense and many funny situations that will keep the line fresh and diverse. Don't expect it will be boring, the story keeps turning around all the time and will keep you watching till the last frame. There is a great emphasize on human values and willpower, it will no doubt touch your heart. Great CGI will also keep your eyes filled with plenty of awesome content.
I would recommend this product to everyone.
Impressive job Russia, I hope more is coming on the way!
( I will never forget the "That's some strong tea" scene ;D )

I personally met Major General Alexey Leonov in Beirut (Lebanon) at a seminar on the 14 of February 2006, and I managed to take a selfie with him. He told us the story of his spacewalking and how he reported the success to his supervisors. Perhaps not the best movie out there, but it is worth watching because of the fascinating story and the historic significance. I really enjoyed watching it.
This movie is a must if you are fan of the space years in the 60's where it all begun....good thriller with drama and accurate comic scenes...a good and interesting Russian movie based in the 60's but no political propaganda at all...I recommend it if you want to try something different than the usual Hollywood flick.
The movie has it all: amazing story based on real events, charismatic actors, a lot of emotions, nice comedy moments and great filming. This movie shows again that you don't need explosions or a lot of action to make a movie thrilling. Also this is not about the USSR and its space achievements, although as a Russian I did fell somehow proud watching it. It is about 2 strong willed men, who were following their dreams and have not given up. So don't be afraid of political propaganda :)
