"Guest from the Future":

So, on April 18, on the premiere day, I went to the cinema and watched the new film adaptation of "Guest from the Future". I'll say right away that I haven't watched the original Soviet series, and I haven't read Kir Bulychev's story, so I went to see this film just to relax, and I was expecting this film from the first announcements, and it was really cool!

"One Hundred Years Ahead" is an excellent, RUSSIAN teenage fantasy that will appeal to all ages!

The plot was exciting and interesting. Yes, it may be simple, maybe for someone it will be predictable, and for someone even illogical and cringey, but as a RUSSIAN film it was very excellent, at least for me personally. 142 minutes passed in one breath, unnoticed. The jokes amused me, but for the most part I giggled at the cringe! Yes, it is there, but it didn't really piss me off, the only thing is that the rap scene is absolutely unnecessary for the film, I would have cut it out, that's where I really got mad!

The graphics and visual effects are amazing! The world of the future is very coolly designed, and not only it, you can see where they spent most of the budget!

The cast is wonderful! I especially want to mention Dasha Vereshchagina 😍😍😍. She acts great and is very beautiful, it's nice to look at her! I'm even ready to go to this film again because of her! The chemistry between her and Mark Eidelstein is simply superb! I also want to mention Sasha Petrov, now for me the role of Veselchak U is the best of all the roles in his filmography! Well, Yura Borisov is our Feyd Rauta from the second "Dune", but only if he had superpowers (just kidding).

I liked the soundtrack, of all the songs I want to mention the cover of "Beautiful Far Away", I really liked it!

In the end, "One Hundred Years Ago" is a great family fairy tale for all ages. Children and teenagers will laugh at the references to Minecraft, Fortite, and will also be delighted with all sorts of geeky references, and adults will feel nostalgic and return to the wonderful distant past!

In general, I give it 10 out of 10 and recommend watching it! Go, although no... RUN to the cinema and go to this film with your family / brothers / sisters / significant other / boyfriend or girlfriend! In general, with someone, well, or you can still go alone, because it's worth it!

First off, the film is nothing like the 1981 cartoon or the 1985 film. This film has an original script that draws on the book by Kir Bulychev, but builds its own word from the year 2024. And the screenwriters did a wonderful job. The plot grabs you from the first minutes and doesn't let go of your attention until the end of the film, which is over two hours long.

The actors Alexander Petrov and Yura Borisov are excellent, a new and entire reading of the antagonists characters. The young actors playing the roles of Alice and Kolya are lively, funny and evoke sympathy.

And the graphics and music in the film complement and complete the excellent work. I really hope that this film will start a universe of films based on books by Kir Bulychev.

I didn't expect much from this movie as I'm a fan of the original book by Kir Bulychev and the 1984 TV version. The first reviews said it had too much action, a superhero-like version of Alisa, too many fights, etc. Surprisingly, I fell in love this version. The main characters are older, but then they are played by a more mature actors who did a great job. Kolya Gerasimov is a fun guy, who never falls into despair, Alisa is very cute, Veselchak U is funny and brutal. The movie is full of well known jokes and memes. It also delivers a very special atmosphere due to optimistic views of the future and unforgetable music theme. Don't pay attention to the surprisingly low rating and give it a try.

This is not doubt movie that has quality (of some sort at least).

It is dynamic enough (even if lots of scenes are elongated with no reason). It has good enough CGI (even if amount of references/borrows is terrible). It has seed of a descent plot (even if it has almost nothing common with original and, for the sake of truth, originals, both film and book, are for 12 yo).

The main problem, as with almost all other modern russian movies, is, sadly, complete absence of originality. Both inner and outer.

Balding producers and elderly championnesses of morality/patriotism are desperate (and hopeless) to be on the "same wave" as next generation. It could be funny if it wasn't so profane, tasteless and mediocre. They are trying to create culture but completely do not understand neither what they are doing nor that culture changed dramatically over 50 years. The saddest thing is, they refuse to learn "new reality", even if they declare this new reality almost every day over the past few years.

As a result, this movie is for no one. Attempts to be modern are clumsy and at least five years late. Plot turns to be empty and leads nowhere. Instead of bright and inspiring future footage is filled by teen's foolish showdowns. Picture is colorful and smooth but lacks meaning.

Great example of what happens when artwork is started by free creative spirit and finished by high-rank soviet censors (yes, they still exist).

I agree, the description is not very good. The trailers are most likely the same. I don't know, I haven't looked. From the promotional materials, I was familiar with the poster, which is also... And the legendary kalab in Delicious and .

There was an old TV series called Guest from the Future. Pensioners like it, but in fact the product is uninteresting both in childhood and now.

I just saw the opinions, they say the new film adaptation should have been kind of like that back then!!! And as a result, at the beginning of the film they write that the film is only based on some kind of story and is not obliged to follow the original in terms of plot. Probably shouldn't. I haven't read children's fiction.

What about the new film as a result?!

I rarely come across good films made here. To be fair, I rarely watch them. Well, there's a problem with positioning and promotion in general. It doesn't matter how cool your product is. If no one knows about him, then what?! Nothing.

Well, that's it.

Was the movie interesting? Handsome? Yes and yes. It is impossible to describe it even shorter. For such a genre, these are probably the main characteristics. 2 hours and 20 minutes fly by quickly and it's interesting to watch!

No, just imagine. The film cost 1 billion rubles. It seems like a lot, right? And if you convert it into dollars? Well, let's have a ten point margin of error. We keep in mind that it was taken down no one knows when.

Perhaps reviewing or watching for the first time at home, someone will notice that the graphics in places were not straight WOW!!! Well I do not know. It was not noticeable in the cinema. You can see where they got their inspiration from, but the very fact of being able to recreate this and that is amazing.

The plot is certainly weak. If the technical component is pumped from year to year, then the filling ... Is it that important? Well, specifically here we have a teen movie about a beautiful picture and jokes with a wonderful cast, consisting of both well-established people, both talented people and young actors who are still not playing out in places, but we must give chances to young talents...

The bad plot is shorter, we're moving on.

Well, he said about the actors. He said, but not all of them.

Yura Borisov, unfortunately... I'm not happy. The stone plays with 15 minutes of screen time. Sorry...

But Alexander Petrov plays like... He plays some kind of Pokemon, which is sometimes evil, sometimes kind. He plays well. This role suits him, because before that Sasha Petrov played Sasha Petrov in different costumes, But now he is a Cosmo pirate.

How to sum it all up like this?

A cool movie that didn't pay off and became unprofitable.

Here you are, the one who is reading this, go to the cinema. Take the Pushkin map and go. And call your mom and call your mom if you're alive. I was there at the session, Grandma was alone. So you call your grandmother so that she doesn't sit alone.
