UberCamper's rating
Pros:
This movie does not force a bunch of cheesy propaganda down your throat. No banner waving so typical for American flicks, no bad Germans and good Russians so typical for Soviet war movies. In fact, there are no Germans in it! All you see a bunch of SMERSH guys doing their job, and doing it well. Technically, the movie is very accurate. Uniforms, weapons, vehicles... all top notch. Very nice locations, settings, camera work and editing.
Cons:
The story lacks action and any kind of suspense. Which would be almost OK if it was 40 minutes shorter. I wish the director had better script to work with.
The verdict: An average Soviet (in this case, post-Soviet) war flick, decently shot and acted but pretty boring.
The rating: 5/10.
Go see Das Boot if you want a really striking non-Hollywood WWII movie.

Bad movies amaze me. Nothing can be more fun in the Saturday evening than settling in my favorite chair with a couple of beers and a remote, then finding a really bad movie and enjoying it to the full extent of its stupidity. I love finding plot holes in lame scripts, predicting cliched lines of cartoonish characters, and making fun of lousy acting. To me, Waterworld was just what I needed. I laughed and I cried for 2 1/2 hours. After the final credits rolled I booted up my laptop and logged on to IMDB with the intention of writing a praise to this masterpiece of bad-movie-making. I thought the fun was over. Wrong. In the user reviews I read this, and I quote:
"Star Wars makes me laugh,Terminator-2 makes me cry,WATERWORLD makes me THINK."
After reading this, I literally fell off my chair. Now, the Usenet acronym "ROTFL" has a whole new meaning to me. Damn Ukrainians and their twisted sense of humor.
Rating: 1/10, yeah!

Dark and symbolic, philosophical and poetic, mysterious and multidimensional, this movie is one of a kind. A true classic. A masterpiece. A must see. Caution: this film will make you think. If you prefer not to, consider watching "Gladiator" instead. Rating: 10/10. Wish I could vote 11.
