It's not a bad movie, there's a lot of tension in the plot, and there's also a bit of drama and comedy. It's good that there are not many of them, and the screenwriters did not long crush a tear with the problems of the heroine on Earth (they exist, but they are resolved for the better) or poke jokes everywhere.
It was also very interesting to look behind the scenes of the ISS and Roscosmos.

I watched it in the cinema, and I did not regret it - the views of space are very beautiful, although the scenes of operations were a little unpleasant to me personally.

Today I had a wonderful day, the best thing about today is going to the cinema!)
In general, I went to the movie "The Challenge"
I'll start by saying that this year I am happy with the new products of our films.
And, "Challenge" was no exception!
"Challenge" is the first and hopefully not the last shot Russian film about space and about space.
The film is wonderful, with excellent acting, a wonderful and exciting plot, and the film was interesting and not boring, although the timing of the film is 164 minutes.
The plot of the film is simple, but I repeat that it is beautiful.
Wonderful actors starred in this film:
Julia Peresild, Milos Bikovic, Vladimir Mashkov, Elena Valyushkina and many, many good actors.
They played great, like other actors, and I think these are their best roles!
Also, I want to mention the excellent cinematography and views of space and the wonderful soundtrack, where all the songs perfectly complement the film.
The song of the singer Christmas Tree on the credits is gorgeous.
In general, I found only one advantage in this film, not the disadvantages!
As a result, the film "The Challenge" is a wonderful and not shameful best Russian film this year.
I consider it the best Russian film of the year, except for Cheburashka and Gone.
I give "The Challenge" 10 out of 10 and advise you to watch this movie in the cinema!
The impression at home will be completely different than in the cinema!
P.S: By the way, I went to the VIP room today, and it's beautiful!!!
If tickets cost 500 rubles there, like today, then I would only go there!)
PS: By the way, I haven't left the hall with dizziness and headache for a long time, because there are scenes in this film that made my head spin for some reason 🙂👍

The movie is gorgeous, a little long, but I still really liked it. I watched it in the cinema, and the fact that my head starts to spin at some moments is true. I watched with delight and still couldn't believe that it was filmed right in space. I'm really glad I watched it)

A sterile film. I liked Gravity more, but after watching it, there's really nothing to remember.
Flashbacks of GG are very cringe-worthy, it would be better without them (another thunderstorm of RU-rental, Cheburashka, also sins with this)

The ISS is an international space warehouse. I was pleased.
The film is a little bit delayed and slightly loses momentum in the second part, but overall it is very good. Well, it was interesting to look at the ISS.

The film is worthy. The usual Russian story is that it is much easier to fly into space than to solve your business on Earth. Moreover, on Earth, these cases seem to be completely unsolvable because here your favorite craft will not save you. A Russian person can often do much more in his specialty than in ordinary life. The same Athos.

Many criticize the film that why fly into space if Cuaron does almost the same thing without it. Firstly, it does not, since hair does not develop in zero gravity. And the fact that we have already seen the view of the Earth and the interior of the ISS, well, yes, we have. You can't tell a good reproduction of a painting from the original and it's easier and closer to approach it. But everyone runs to the museum anyway, because they know what's real there. So in the brainchild of Ernst-Rogozin, we know that space is real and weightlessness, and even makeup should not be loose.
Shipenko, as a director of photography, obviously accomplished the feat because the conditions for filming all these flights were completely impossible, and it was done at the level of multi-meter studios.

Well, the journalism faculty of Moscow State University, of which Rogozin is a graduate, is definitely good at PR. And it's probably important too. Because technology without PR is meaningless. In general, a useful movie

It's a great movie. I read and listened to a lot of contradictory reviews before going to the cinema. But it's really better to see it once ...
Camerawork, acting, cosmonauts' life, to the extent of drama and jokes. excellent musical accompaniment, almost everywhere to the place. In general, I was impressed. And I'll even reconsider it someday.

Cuaron and Bullock smoke nervously.
it was interesting to watch the facial expressions / looks of Overpowers, because these are living emotions. I liked the film, it's strange that it lags behind the Belarusian big-eared Shepherd in terms of fees, but it would be superfluous to give orders to the film crew.

@6o4ka: Two months have passed since your question, but there is still no movie online). The fact is that it is still being played in cinemas and was not allowed to figure due to insufficient fees. The budget is more than a yard, and he just barely collected two yards of rubles in 4 months of rental. The viewer didn't really fall for him, it's not a Cheburator😅

I looked at several reviews of critics on the Internet for this film, and all of them are mostly negative. I expected something in the spirit of typical Channel One masterpieces, but I was wrong. The film is really worth it, there is a plot, somewhere somewhat banal, perhaps, but interesting, it keeps you in suspense until the last, there is an intrigue and a love happy ending.
I went to the cinema for a movie and the immersion is complete, a separate masterpiece - moments in space, in some places it takes your breath away.
For Russian cinema, the plot is quite atypical, something new, a lot of details about cosmonautics, which is also very captivating. The only drawback is probably that the plot was tightened, it's hard to watch because of this - about 3 hours.
But the film is definitely good, it's worth watching. Russian Russian woman I liked the quote at the end
. "Where there is a Russian woman, there is always an attraction."

I do not know what the film is criticized for, in principle, an ordinary film about space.
Of course, everything could be filmed on earth, in principle, most of the film takes place on earth. Most likely, the actresses flew into space for the sake of real emotions, since being on earth, they don't believe they can play the emotions of flight and the feeling of weightlessness.

@vbkb: >>> the usual space movie <<<

Against the general background of modern Russian cinema, even good, but completely incompetent public relations on budget funds initially discouraged many from going to it at all.
There would be less pathos in promoting the film and there would be much less negativity towards the film.

I would also like to mention the camerawork in conditions of real weightlessness, unless, of course, the operator also flew into space. The picture did not jump, considering that the operator also had to somehow balance in zero gravity.

Так себе. Не шедевр, но посмотреть можно. Съёмки местами очень впечатляют. А вот у космонавтов часто глаза улыбались, даже в напряжённые моменты, прикольно. Стоило ли из за этого откладывать запланированный полет профессионалов, которых готовили не один год? Не знаю. Мнения разные . Поживём, увидим.

@alent85: ///Стоило ли из за этого откладывать запланированный полет профессионалов, которых готовили не один год?///

Ну-у-у такая у космонавтов работа. И связанные с ней профессиональные риски.

Трах! Ба-бах! Где-то случилась паника на бирже. Потом урезали финансирование, сократили программы запусков. Как тогда было на станции "МИР". И сменщик не прилетел. Самый продолжительный полёт в истории.

Или научно технический прогресс и вся эта техника. И отправят на орбиту вместо тебя робота. Как те американцы. Программу Шатлов отменили, а новую не запустили. И Россия чуть ли не десять лет одна тащила всю пилотируемую космонавтику на планете.

Или жёсткая медицина. Раз и однажды тебя не допустили к полётам, потому что в длинном, длинном списке, один показатель вышел за допустимые рамки.

Что дала эта негоция для космонавтике? Как мне объяснили:
- была отработана подготовка экипажа по ускоренной программе;
- и вроде как в первые, на нашем трехместном "Союзе" летели с двумя "туристами".

Почему снимали такой фильм? Да по тому что могут!

Красивое:

///Вдруг компьютеры начали мигать, загорелись лампочки "эмёрдженси". Смотрим в иллюминатор - а у
нас пол и потолок меняются местами...Непонятно, что происходит, тревожно!!! Прилетели американцы, европейцы. Сразу вспомнилась фраза: "Хьюстон, у нас проблема!"

Прилетел Олег. Я к нему: "Олег, что случилось?" Он повернулся ко мне, подмигнул, улыбнулся и сказал: "Это космос, детка!"(ц)...(Юлия Пересильд)///

Domestic cinema has not been happy for a long time. When I found out that this film was going to be shot, I was internally ready that, as usual, some rubbish would turn out. On the other hand, optimists said that director Klim Shipenko could. Here are some examples. Again, the first feature film shot in space. So I was doomed to watch this movie.

It's fucking filmed!!!

The film is in the drama genre. The situation is nervous, so everyone with stone faces is constantly joking. Rocket takeoff in slow motion - yes, people just love their job. All these cosmic selfies, close-ups - beauty. The whole movie is on the drive. Gluing together brainstorming sessions and stages of cosmonaut training. The sound of a warning signal, with musical notes, in scenes with an airplane flying laboratory. Thick hints about the armored train on the siding. For example, in conversations it flashed that the cosmonaut who fought! The surgeon, gritting her teeth, no matter what, is fighting for the patient's life. In the end, Julia Overcame the beautiful. :-)

The camerawork on the ISS is cool. Just a technical feat! I don't remember in any fiction that they could think of such a thing. The place is small. Everything is doubled and divided. Some wires, hoses, ducts, cylinders, cans, boxes, lenses. Bags are flying. Cramped! :-)

You won't find it in the movie. No tantrums, as you know where, with throwing furniture into glass walls. No rot, as you know where, to cover your w@@@. No actions of the heroes, for the reason: "Yes, he is crazy".

An astronaut reads a poem. The strongest reference to that two-part documentary. But for sure: "Yura, we have improved ".

After watching the movie, everyone will want to become astronauts! :-)

The disadvantage of the film is the quiet voices of the actors. But, my technical capabilities are adequate. :-p

The film is kind. Which is rare now. About doctors. But, in the film, our armored train on the siding slips by.-)

And the astronauts returned from space. And on the Ground they are met by rescuers. ZIL-49061 "Blue Bird" arrived.

https://i.ibb.co/ckp0t2h/01-49061.jpg

Tourists arrived in jeeps, who could not be dragged away from the landing site by the tail. Helicopters have arrived.

Helicopters?

https://i.ibb.co/xzL4WCn/02.jpg
https://i.ibb.co/Jscbcdh/03.jpg

Civilian helicopters are painted in bright, elegant colors. First, the owner's flag. Secondly, advertising. Thirdly, what would be easier to find if something happened. The helicopters that arrived are camouflaged. These are military vehicles!!! The armor on top of the cabin began to be installed from Afghanistan. There are pylons on the helicopter, even now hang missiles and go into battle. If I understood correctly, traps have been set against Stingers.

One of the most dangerous vehicles on the planet for infantry and cavalry has arrived to rescue the astronauts!!!

You can talk a lot about how much money has been spent, you can shoot on the ground and so on, but what's done is done, and the viewer just needs to enjoy the picture.

The film was shot perfectly, and to the best of drama and jokes. I was interested in the entire timing of the film. In part, it still smacked of typical Channel one work, but it didn't hurt in any way. Both on earth and in space they shot beautifully, the actors also did a great job, and the astronauts)))

When the rocket launched, it was as if I was also plunging into this exciting state. The views of space are amazing. And I really liked how they showed real gravity, real emotions, real cosmonauts' cuisine.

The movie is cool without a doubt.

I also think that, in general, the idea of making a film in space is very interesting, because they mostly flew for the purpose of studying, and here astronauts can be trained in a short time, you never know what specialists will be needed there, and maybe doctors will be able to operate. In general, there is something to think about and what new goals to set.
Space is getting closer and this film has opened up this possibility. An extraordinary real fantasy

https://i.ibb.co/GxKhqph/image.jpg

Yeah, they've already helped.

My dear friend. You're stuck at the microeconomics level. You lack the scale of the state's flight of thought.

What can you offer? To turn money in the economy along the route of the store, dash, removal of liquid household waste (Or whatever it says in the receipt from housing and communal services).

Chain stores are joint-stock companies. Shareholders want profits. And who are the shareholders? How much does a particular store have, in the shareholders of specific shares. For example, I spent a thousand kids on milk. You can literally estimate in an hour, in two, about how much of your thousand went to Uncle Sam for a new store from M-16. Well, with taxes paid by those candles over the hill. And you don't need a lot of intelligence for that.

In our case, we turned the millstones of the economy, spent money on the order of one of the most high-tech companies on the planet. Further, after distillation and distillation, the money will go along the way: contractors, cooperation within the whole country and the world. Salaries for workers and employees. These are the best people. Some of them are so smart that they just get a pension for scientific titles! In short, the money will go all along the food chain.

/// a lot of money///

And how many piles are there in the pile? Check out the budget sizes of Hollywood blockbusters on the electric Internet! Or. By now, one RN "Soyuz" stands as one tank, or one tenth of a fighter.

///FIVE-YEAR PLAN IN 3 YEARS!///

Well, sit down more comfortably, turn on the music louder and let's go to the Imperial March. Here's a funny song for you:

https://youtu.be/mNuR6x5pZUo

Well, this is such a show-off of a superpower. Today, the actress and director were sent into space. And tomorrow, they will fight with us like with aliens from the stars.

Roscosmos is the most respected state corporation. By the fact that the Sarmatian took over combat duty. Grandson of SATAN!!! :-D
