Audience Member About the same amount of plot holes and questionable physics as you find in any disaster movie; but with great acting from the principals, wonderful character arcs, and a surprising amount of realism. Great movie, you should be watching it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Although typical & formulaic, plus a bit too long too, entertaining still. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A crap, except the final music ! But a good movie for a "bad movies night with friend" ! :D Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Before I say anything in this review, I have to admit that I really do not like disaster movies - most of the time I cannot stand them! That is why I waited for some time before watching Metro, a Russian film directed by Anton Megerdichev and written by Denis Kuryshev and Viktoriya Yevseyeva. After watching it, I had one thought: I wish I didn't wait. [img]http://www.fastimages.eu/images/met.png[/img] The closest description of this work of art, and that is a real work of art, is a disaster movie, but it has so many elements of mystery and drama (even a thriller and romance come to mind) that will keep you glued to your seat for well over 2 hours! Film is set in the Moscow subway system, a system on the verge of collapse due to a water leak that sends the Moscow River racing through the tunnels, some of them built in 1935 as bunkers... and inevitable happens - involving hundreds of people... some trapped underground between the real maze of walls filling up with water quickly but, sadly, most of the others as lifeless bodies. The story decides to follow the life, and all the dramatic events from above and underground, specifically focusing on personal tragedies of the last survivors. One of them is a surgeon from state run hospital with his young daughter; another one is a businessman working in the building boom industry in central Moscow, probably responsible for the crack forming in the tunnel between two metro stations; a young man and a young woman who became attracted to each other just before the accident happened; a middle aged lonely alcoholic woman and a little Chihuahua... The best part of the story development is that the surgeon Dr Garin trying to save the surviving passengers, is saving his wife's lover as well. Garin has to overcome his bitterness, anger and fear... Perfectly casted Russian stars Sergey Puskepalis, Anatoliy Belyy, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Aleksey Bardukov and Kseniya Berezina were a part of this first big budget Russian disaster movie which is not much about death as is about how to survive in order to build or rebuild love, family and happy life. If you are a lover of amazing photography and outstanding camera work - do not miss the first few opening minutes! That is where everything starts and builds up to an emotional journey which will make you think about life itself and our ways and choices. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Film catastrophe d'origine Russe, Metro est très inspiré de Daylight avec Stallone. Le film n'est pas nécessairment mauvais mais ayant vu Daylight, on devine le scénario extrêmement prévisible. Le film as tout de même un bon budget avec des acteurs crédible Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member From the cinematic point of view, this is a pretty good movie, and it shows excellent craftsmanship and directing skills....and all the actors played their role perfectly.... there are, however, numerous inconsistencies and illogical situations in the script that require a huge suspension of disbelief for people who are familiar with how the subway system functions....other than that, there are normal for this genre stereotyped characters, a love triangle, and of course, a catastrophe itself that changes everything... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
