Description
Kolya and Alice live in different worlds. Kolya lives in modern-day Moscow, while Alice lives 100 years in the future. Kolya likes playing video games, writing rap songs and hanging out with his friends. He doesn’t think about the future at all. Alice knows everything about alien animal life, martial arts, and the history of the galaxy. The past holds a painful memory for Alice - her mother was killed in a battle between earthlings and space pirates. The defeated forces of evil will one day return, and worlds will collide. Kolya and Alice will meet, and their meeting will shape the future of our universe.
The film is average for me, I liked the graphics, effects, but the plot part somehow did not impress, I expected a more twisted plot. But the denouement with glavgad came, quite cunningly, I did not guess. The average person, it could have been worse, it could have been better. In general, that's what I expected.
+ the timing was greatly stretched, it was quite possible to shorten it by 20-30 minutes
In general, you can take a look at it once.
The graphics are on top, I expected the worst
I also expected a bad game from the main character (it was not clear how she was taken on the role), but she played normally, without enthusiasm ... but you can watch
The denouement is a bit illogical
But in general, I liked the film, I will definitely review it
And the choice of her for this role was not clear in principle
And how great it was to watch 100 years ahead 👍cool action, juicy picture, pleasant actors, a lot of jokes (and not clowning like Marvel has been doing lately) an interesting plot. The film made an incredibly strong and pleasant impression 😉
Petrov's character was pleased, finally he left the image of one actor and became a pirate. His shell-shocked laughter and antics, though reminiscent of Nicolas Cage, but he played it well.
I liked that the film is layered. Not just a dumb action game, a conflict between the bad guys and the good ones. There are problems of teenagers and first love, betrayal, conflict for power.
Well, in our postmodern age, how can I not mention a bunch of references 😅 here Kolya moves in time, it's like in Doctor Strange visual, the Space Federation and tourists arrived on earth - well, it was in Rick and Morty (I don't accuse of plagiarism, the book was written earlier 😁), Alice's fight training - it was in X-Men, stimulation is well, or closer to the Hunger Games, where there were training holograms, the image of a Glot is a direct Feyd-Raut Harkonnen from Dune, and when he began to share due to the rupture of the temporal continuum - but this is a scene from Ant-Man and Quantum Mania. But this is not a reproach to the filmmakers. The picture was beautiful with decent effects, and as good as DC and Marvel 😍
But what the filmmakers brought to the original is a time travel device - exactly for a hundred years. That's why it was interesting to watch the plot, how would they get around this limitation
I am delighted with the opening of the film, it's a cool idea to immerse us in the world, tell the main points and all this against the background of a school fight)
I really want the picture to pay for itself at the box office and earn money, and I hope we will see a sequel to the film, or maybe a prequel about the Merry Man and the Cosmion device
The film has a lot of joints. No, really, if you dig into it, it will crumble. However, the film coped with its task to captivate enough that I didn't really want to dig into it. He has very good graphics, not eye-popping, the designs for about everything are also not that outstanding, but at least not tasteless (personally, in my opinion, something characteristic was achieved only in the design of the Merry Man).
In general, I can not scold, but complain that the acting is quite weak. And that GG (both) are not very catchy, that they are secondary. However, due to the fact that they all play at the same level, it looks organic and no one gets knocked out.
However, most of all, I am sad for two characters: Funny Wu and Glot. The first one is played by Petrov and let him play not quite himself, but God, he plays the one who drove sluggishly, it was so sad for me to see him and remember the same Vaas from Far Edge 3, whom he looks very much like. It's still not a bad game, but there wasn't a spark of true madness there either. And Yura Borisov played Glot and he did not play at all. That is, it is not his game that gives the character all the charm, but the design and the filtered voice. Take away the voice and that's it, this is some kind of bum, and not the most dangerous threat to all galaxies. However, in the aggregate it looks organically, because of Petrov's underplays, his stoniness does not seem so stony.
Oh, yes. The modernization did not spoil the film! Who would have thought that our people could do this! There are a lot of references to esports, video games, youth slang, pop culture, which even made sense, it's already unusual after ugly " at the behest of a pike " and "a flying ship " to see how this really looks appropriate!
This leads to the following conclusion: if you are waiting for something similar to what you have already seen, then no, prepare for the fact that this is a fantasy on a topic where there are much fewer similarities than differences. And it's not a bad thing! Every work has the right to be looked at with different thoughts and fantasies, because sometimes these fantasies are no worse than the original.
A few words about the plot: well, it's not bad. But time travel always imposes a lot of conventions and when you try to sort them out, it all loses its meaning. But it copes with its task quite well, it is a sin to demand more, although in places there are very strange things and the eye involuntarily clings to them, the most revealing will be closer to the end.
Spoiler Alert:
- We need to get to Kolya's house in an hour and go back in time and fix everything! Here's a plan where you have to go through an entire area teeming with a bunch of enemies!
- OK, let's move out!
/ there is a scene where Alice sticks to Moscow from the evil future and thinks about the universe, and then Kolya comes to her to make out and kiss for 10 minutes/
Thanks to them, they didn't have an HOUR left until the right time, yeah. The plot (dramaturgically, in the sense) is a reasonable scene, but illogical, in general.
Roughly speaking, if not only Fima, but also Vitek and Nastya had passed through history as the first contactee, the future could have changed, and it is still unknown whether it would have become good or bad. And they would not have been able to fix anything.
So I did not understand in the end what the meaning of that scene was, and the desire to go together could have been justified more briefly.
Lots of references. An ingenious sensitive electronic soundtrack by Igor Vdovin.
Although all the twists were read at once, it was interesting to watch.
Before watching, I thought Petrov was a miskast, but I was surprised how well his character fit in.
As I understand it, the film is based on the work of the same name by Kir Bulychev, but from there there was a maximum of 100 years of movement and the names of the characters
If we take other stories by Kir Bulychev, then there are more coincidences
In general, as a fan of Kira Bulychev, I appreciated the film and advise you to watch it
I have not yet understood what the reference with the cat, which is in all times, in a bad future, so even the inscription on the sign was highlighted, who is it at all?)
And here it turned out to be a completely different, alternative story, but at the same time with great respect for Kir Bulychev. And the graphics are beautiful, and the actors did everything very well, and there is good humor in the film. And even surprises were present in the plot, although there are also some inconsistencies. The audience in the hall was of very different ages, from elementary school students to pensioners, and they laughed at jokes in different ways, some children rolled up, some adults. A good indicator. Everyone will find something different in this film. Apparently, the creators had a calculation for that, and in general it was justified.
I recommend watching it in the cinema, there will be a lot of impressions.
