Really enjoyed this movie. A good story and full of action. What makes this movie special was, the slow motion scenes of how the tanks fired to each other, there explosions and how the crew reacts to everything. The "love story" was strange. I wold have liked it more if they kept on task instead of in pants. Falling in love on the first girl who translates your words never works.
I'm giving it a 10 because of I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. Have not seen this delivered by Hollywood in a long time. I do have a few points to make out about this movie.
Point 1: I saw the russian and german spoken movie with english subs. What first disturbed me was that the german dialogue was narrated. I could not hear clearly what was said when the germans spoke. Why Russians make movies and dub over it with or use a narrator is a strange choice for me because i'm Dutch and we picked subtitles, because it was cheaper (the Dutch way) back in the day and as a plus for this later on was that we learned easier foreign languages from tv. Plus is that the narrator has a good calm voice, so he is not annoying. I was happy that Irina Starshenbaum her translating started so this was brought back to a minimum.
Point 2: After 12,5 minutes to 35 minutes we see that the tanks are escorted by footsoldiers. At the end we don't see the footsoldiers anymore. Maybe when this movie is remade after 55 years we can have them add a scene where they find machinegun bullets for that gun and the footsoldiers are back? It could be then a Clint Eastwood scene as in "Where Eagles Dare" on the staircase
Point 3: Remarks I read about the CGI or the, etc ...Lower budgets and the actors look under payed, there is no more money for beter CGI. Maybe with a higher budget this movie would have been even greater. I don't think this movie even came out in my country. The budget it says it was estimated 10,000,000. And the Worldwide Gross 35,950,901. The movie Fury had a budget of 68,000,000 and the cumulative Worldwide Gross $211,817,906. So 2 tank movies... Fury was good but if it had 1/6 of it's budget it would have never been a good movie.
