Attraction

Although story is not usual invasion story, it has similar versions in other movies. It is also rushed and has some holes in it, but it is nothing new for this genre. People say story is weak, but after covid, I really cant say stupid decisions characters take are unrealistic. As others say it is a love story suggesting love can overcome everything. Also it is trying to give a message we all figured out by now, that we will destroy ourselves. other than that acting is ok, it is watchable. Visuals are very good, in fact might even be the best cgi for a while, and visuals made me watch the movie mostly. If you like sci-fi and have nothing better to do this might be good to pass the time.

Quite a decent SciFi. The effects are absolutely top notch! Seriously, Russia needs to make more movies like this and also distribute them in English. On the other hand, the story is a bit weak and if this is how Russians behave in real life, then maybe the western narrative of "aggressive Russia" is not that false.

Interesting because it's somewhat differente vs "western" films. Great concept of story, excellent visuals, charming actors; but ALL RUINED with poor writing, and no better direction. Russian? Really? Looks intentionally phony. Characters are terribly inconsistent -- caricatures of people acting out-of-character to fit each "need twist" in the story. I bothered to write this becasue I liked the good enough, to feel very disappointed with the whole.

Beautiful special effects and original alien design; It's a shame, because the idiocy of the plot (young Russians acting as dumb) makes it a wasteful opportunity to develop a good sci-fi movie. Lately, Russia has given sample on how to compete with Hollywood (see Guardians), but the difference between making a good movie and a bad one are always the same: a strong story with new ideas.

I've just finished watching the movie, and, as a Sci-Fi buff I must say it bored me to death. Please don't compare this to District 9 or Independence Day, or Alien or whatever, it deserves it's low rating. From start to end you can see it's an ambitious project, but it fails in all aspects, no action, no deep psychological meaning, not even one great moment to remember. It's all so-so from start to end, no character development and the ending absolutely anti-climactic. I couldn't care less about the protagonists life in the end, pretty much says it all.
