Lloyd N @RT37038703 09/02/2024 Americans tend to think that it was all about us! We were in a "cold war" ie. No information shared, no helping. However we were BOTH PUSHING to the stars. RUSSIA leading the way. BOTTOM LINE, we ALL improved and MOVED FORWARD. God bless humanity's push for improvement 🙏 See more 03/05/2022 Absolutely mind blowing account of a true story during the Space Race. For me, the film completely outranked "Apolo 13". It managed to capture the era, successfully hint at the workings of the political establishment and cover personal and emotional angles effortlessly. I'm not familiar with Russian cinema, but I will be looking to acquaint myself with it much more after "Spacewalker"! See more Tony S @RT94004908 12/07/2021 This is a studio movie through and through. At some point it had a singular vision of one director but whatever it was, producers didn't like it. Apparently it had Gagarin too and a better pace given the longer runtime. However, the result is a run of the mill space exploration film. A lot of expository dialogue. Exaggerations for the sake of tension or presumed danger. The plot blatantly ticks off the boxes for this type of film, crafting a narrative, yet forgetting to give main characters anything but hollow husk of a cliche to play off to no fault of the actors of course who give those roles all they have. All that said. When they get to space, you can not help to be engulfed with Leonov's almost childish wonder and excitement for finally fulfilling his dream. Visually, it is beautifully conveyed. And despite feeling glossy in some aspects, the 60's USSR is authentically captured on screen. See more 03/23/2021 I think I'd rate it higher if the movie was available in the original language with subtitles, because the dubbing takes away the intonation, which is a major part of acting. That said, the storyline is fascinating, and mostly true to life. A lot of people have compared it to Apollo 13, and that's a fair comparison. But it's good to see a story like this from the Russian side, because it reminds us that deep down, there's more that unites us as human beings than divides us. See more 02/21/2021 Wow! what a movie! After the end of the devastating world war 2, in which est 27 million russians died fighting the nazis. USSR was not to spare the western nations got together to bring down one of the greatest nations to date. Even in the midst of all this (Nazis recruited by the Americans), Russians built one of the finest pieces of space machinery and still do so. One of the greatest films I have ever watched. You can only imagine the courage and inspiration to explore the unknown getting out in space. where the closest help is death. See more q8 m @RT72707306 01/14/2019 Very nice movie and more realistic actually I do enjoy it more than the Hollywood version First Man (2018) anyway if you're a space lover you'll like both films See more Read all reviews
