Its execution may lag a little behind its ambitions, but those ambitions are honest and emphatic enough to forgive any number of minor sins.

This is a science fiction movie made in Russia that I got as a birthday present from my second son. It is probably not a movie I would just have picked up myself, which is really stupid actually, so I am rather happy that my son did it for me. It is not at all a bad movie. It is quite surrealistic and it does indeed take some time to figure out what is really going on. The landscape in which the main protagonist finds himself is weird, depressing and beautiful at the same time. I have to say that I found the special effects quite well done. If you consider that budget was a measly 4 million dollars the special effects become downright impressive. But then, in Russia you probably get quite a bit more for your money than in Hollywood.

**Such a good movie! Highly entertaining if you like sci-fi!** I found out about this movie from the reviews on The Blackout (2019), and watched the film based on the reviews here too.\ \ I didn't really know what to expect when i went into this.
