Audience Member Its one of the most boring movies I have ever seen tbh :) Pretentious crap with a lot of talking and nothing SF about other than talking non-stop and lamenting all the way. Sorry, I know this might upset die hard fans but this does not deserve its place.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Jonathan K Challenging and opaque, the visuals are seriously striking — lots of long, artistic shots, haunting set design that’s slightly fantastical but still feels heavy, real, and raw. Everything looks like it was composed to stay stuck in your head, like a lingering dream. The sound, though, really threw me off. Nearly the whole thing appears post-dubbed; the voices often don't match the mouths, and the worst part about it is that they don’t sound like they are in the actual physical spaces the characters are in. No acoustics, no echo, just kind of pasted on top of the scene. Super distracting and took me out of the experience. On meaning, I think it's meant to be a parable or something philosophical (like a Pilgrim’s Progress)... I had to go read the internet afterward to start piecing it together. Definitely one of those movies that demands multiple viewings, ideally after reading up on it, so you can actually detect the layers. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Thomas S Mesmerizing film — though it doesn’t quite reach the brilliance of the book it’s based on, Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky Brothers. The novel raises a profound question: what are humans willing to do to briefly forget their own mortality? One of the Zone’s traps — shimmering heat waves rising from the ground — is fleetingly visible in the film, hinting at the unseen dangers and mysteries that fill the book. I’ve always loved the concept: extraterrestrials visiting Earth, only to leave again once they realize that humanity has nothing of value to offer them. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Alain E The first half keeps the interested viewer alert. Very good cinematography with the colors eliminated inside a brown shade. We are trying to figure out what is happening with the trains coming and going, police and the army. The slow pace makes sense. Once we are inside the zone a tighter editing would have improved the experience, in my opinion. Interesting that women are not admitted into the sanctum.
