It`s not easy to categorize the new Russian film “Indigo”, that came out in March 2008. It pretends to be the fantasy thriller, but sometimes it looks like comedy. And the most positive emotions are not caused by the jokes of the film, but by the stupid way ther look like on the screen. In general the film could be called the completely failed comedy, and we`ve got used to such phenomena.

The main point of the film is also hardly understandable. It`s not surprizing, that Russian director Roman Prygunov decided to make a film on the popular up-to-date topic of Indigo children, with the intend to create a parody (read: copy) of the stupid American film “X-Men”. And even the film cast was not able to improve the situation. Mikhail Yefremov was really great but… Gosha Kutsenko became the jokes target, because of the numerous films he played during a year.

During the usual excavations four military trophies hunters, Borman, Cherep, Chuh and Spirt find the underground bunker. This time the abundant “take” contains documents, medals, arms. Their credo - unceremoniousness to the remains of fallen during the Great Patriotic War. To rest from the difficult work guys decide to take a swim in the nearest lake. They dive into the water nowadays and come up at the height of operation in 1942. Their further adventures together with the Soviet battle unit make them to reconsider the own views on the history and attitude to the heroic deeds of forefathers.

It`s difficult to say something particularly good or bad about this film. From the one hand the one won`t find here some peculiar crudeness or a show of patriotism. From the other hand the one won`t find in the film the deep cense or impressive filming also. “We Are from the Future” is the right film for the history lessons truants to give them steady and patriotic understanding of the native history. You should see it to learn to distinguish the good from the evil, to see how our ancestors sacrificed their lives defending the native land from the fascism, to meet the true war romance. If you like to have a rest during the film show, if in the film plot you prefer the simple schemes and expected ending, it is obligatory to see it. And don`t forget your popcorn!
