The Challenge

This is the first film of its kind. It's very interesting and incredible. Everything feels very real and true (because this is reality). I envy the actors who were able to fly into space, realized their dream.

The actors play very well. The main character is pretty. The astronauts themselves are also real, of course, they don't play very well, but they tried.

I was surprised that, probably, some scenes of the film were shot in outer space, the director and the actress were allowed to go into space, it's amazing.

The film itself is probably not the best from an artistic point of view. But the film is unique, to support it appreciated positively.

Not a fan of Russian cinematography. I watched many Russian movies and didnt't find them good enough. Especially those with sci-fi theme. Only one I found to be more than just watchable, was " The ninth company". But, I went to watch this movie due to curiosity of it being filmed in ISS, and I must say that this was by far the best Russian movie I've ever watched. Everything was so realistic that one could get a feeling of what is it like being in space. Only downside is "acting" of some of the crew members, but considering they were real astronauts and not proffessional actors, that wasn't big deal. Overall, better then the most of American space movies. I would recomend this movie.

Absolutely great movie, everything is there. Every second is worth watching. First feature-length fiction film shot in outer space. The actors play very well. The main character is pretty. The astronauts themselves are also real, of course, they don't play very well, but they tried. It was really cool to see the amazing achievements of engineering and science in real life and documented like this, and I felt like I was witnessing something special. Congratulations to the team and the people of Russia for making history! Few movies make one remember that there is still time to do something extraordinary, to push the limits of humankind, but truly. Stole my heart.

With so many things being fake and distorted today, this movie takes a special place on the pedestal of cinema history due to its real portrayal of people living in extreme conditions on a space station. This is a story about love, life, space, and human beings with their problems and weaknesses. For anyone looking for an action movie with special effects, space battles, and other fiction, this movie is probably not for you.

Shot beautifully with incredible scenes from a real space station, scenes of a rocket launch, and very talented actors.

What sets this movie apart is that it makes you believe in human potential, strength, and character.

I am proud to be Russian, regardless of any current circumstances, and thankful to anyone involved in a production of this amazing film.

I found this movie rather enjoyable. It may have it's issues, after all no movie is perfect. However credit must be given for the performance of the main actress and for the simple fact that this movie was shot in space and still looked good. And to address the negative reviews I must say this. This movie was made to be as realistic as possible and was filmed under significant constrictions. Filming with real equipment for the space programme, aircraft, spacecraft including the ISS, as well as real locations or detailed sets based on them. Multiple "actors" were not experienced actors but space industry professionals. Real cosmonauts, technicians, doctors and others. And finally, when it comes to reviews for this movie on this website I find them extremely suspicious. The majority of the reviews are above 5/10, afterwards very few reviews between 5 and 2/10 , and then a huge spike of 1/10. To me, based on pure logic, this seems like review bombing or negative reviews based only on the fact that this movie is Russian. I find it extremely suspicious that almost nobody reviewed it from 2 to 5.
