War

It is one more Russian expensive film made for the last several years. And possibly it could be the most successful one. The film`s budget amounted 20 mln USD, it was seen by the 5,5mln audience. Most of them highly appreciated the work of Andrey Kravchuk.

The film story is based on the real historical events. It is the story of struggle and love of the great admiral Alexander Vasilyevych Kolchak, that became famous at the times of the Russian Empire downfall. Even despite of the some historical inaccuracies “The Admiral” deserves to be called the film of high quality and repaid until the showing in cinemas.

The author`s personal opinion: I`ve heard a lot of various characteristics before the viewing: “boring”, “despondently”, “wimpy” intertwined with inspiring and positive opinions. But, as the saying goes, every man to his own taste. One more time I assured – it is quite true. As for my opinion – I could estimate it as weak 5.

IMDB rating: 7,1/10.

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!
