Audience Member Es la historia de un héroe, contada desde su lugar en la URSS y en el mundo, de una forma honesta y simple. Me emocionó mucho. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A harmless sentimental look at the days leading up to and following Gargarin's historic flight. Unfortunately the writing is too simplistic and deferential to create any real depth in the man. But as a celebration of one of the greatest human achievements, the film is worth a look. The tension surrounding the take off is done well. The actual flight and landing are handled superficially, which is a shame because the special effects are quite good and seamless. The English subtitles I watched failed to convey important cultural meanings, for example failing to translate or explain the significance of Shostakovich's song sung by Gagarin in flight. As a post-Soviet era patriotic film, I'm sure it works well, but I doubt Gagarin was as saintly as portrayed in this film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked the way the director was able to describe the personality of Y. Gagarin and his path to the mission: engaging and entartaining. Well done Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm a fan of biopics. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Good biopic. The story of Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space. Told by concentrating on his historic flight, interspersed with flashbacks to his youth, Air Force training, cosmonaut training, his relationships and family life. Very well made. The special effects for Gagarin's journey into space and back are superb. The story around the flight is also well told - the director creates genuine tension regarding his safety, even before he goes into space. As you can imagine there would have been - nobody had done it before, and the technology was fairly primitive. The personal side is kind of schmaltzy though. There are also some other scenes that don't seem to add much to the movie. A good story on a very brave man. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Russian vesrion of The Right Stuff about Yuri Gagarin. Interesting that the director of the space program had orders to destroy the capsule if there was a chance of the landing going wrong and landing in the wrong hands.
