Atlantis

Blink and you might miss something. This is a film that develops slowly, is mostly quiet, and can be frustrating. It builds slowly, scene upon scene, to tell the story of a country damaged by war with those left forced to think about their motivations and what comes next. I didn't quite know what I was watching until the end when I was pleasantly surprised that everything added up to a new kind of film that was quite worth my attention. There is nothing sci-fi about this so don't get your hopes up. This film is, however, absolutely beautiful to look at and has a strong directorial point of view, examining environment, machine, space, and our relation to them.

The most optimistic of all pessimistic, and the most pessimistic of all optimistic history of war. A story about war, without war, about peace without peace. About the causes and consequences, about the injury and the search.

Probably some will find is a little boring and slow paced, but all the acting is done by real soldiers from conflict. This is a more a zeitgeist film about what is life in conflict zone.

No one ever mentioned yet but the film predicted that there will be a total war between russia and ukraine in 2019.

After the latest threats of russian president makes one think and worry if in 2025 we will have exactly the same scenery in eastern ukraine. I hope ukraine will win this bloody war caused by an unjustified russian annexation.

The film is very cold and dark yet somehow very warm. It's definitely not a western european film about the existencial crises of people who have almost everything in their life, it is about the people from the cold steppes of ukraine which had serious problems and still have.

Slava Ukraini!

The film is very slow and balanced. This is a great auteur film, but not a mass one. After watching, I was shocked and crushed (this is a plus towards the movie). This film is meditation (whatever it is).

I recommend not watching the trailer, because it shows too much.
