Featured reviews
A Russian historical drama; A story about Voskhod 2, the manned mission that the Soviet Union hoped would achieve another milestone in space exploration: the first man to "space walk." Set against the background of the space race, it is a patriotic film about extreme bravery and balances the output of films made about the space race and achievements made against the odds, telling a story from the Russian side. It dazzles with superb cinematography, has thrills, and manages to keep the suspense.
A beautiful film, a great story, what a bit pompous and propagandistic, but those were the times. I think it was also perfectly conveyed.
I liked watching this movie maybe even more than watching "The Right Stuff". Probably because it tells the story of the Sovjet efforts of the space race.
Throughout the movie I couldn't help thinking it was an American movie as there was a continuous criticism towards the Sovjet era. Some can be explained by the changed political system, but still....
And is it so much different now?
Maybe it just proves that we were always right when trying to imagine how life was there.
Or the film is just intended to be watched by the Western world and they like to confirm many of the clichés.
But I'm glad this film is made. A lot of movies are made on the American efforts when in fact the Sovjets won all battles except the ultimate one (putting a man on the moon). Interesting too how both sides solved the problems in different ways. All top German scientists fled to the US and still the Russians were able to win the most battles.

Loved this film from start to finish. Great acting with a good story line which had some funny bits that made me lol. My emotions were all over the place, excited, laughing, frustrated, anxious and also on the edge of my seat it was great to see the Russian side to the space race against the US it was a great watch I recommend anyone to watch this
Touching dramatic development with lots of suspense and many funny situations that will keep the line fresh and diverse. Don't expect it will be boring, the story keeps turning around all the time and will keep you watching till the last frame. There is a great emphasize on human values and willpower, it will no doubt touch your heart. Great CGI will also keep your eyes filled with plenty of awesome content.
I would recommend this product to everyone.
Impressive job Russia, I hope more is coming on the way!
( I will never forget the "That's some strong tea" scene ;D )
