Russia in 90ties of the past century was politically and socially instable with windfall money and criminal shoot-outs. The power and business can live in peace just till the moment, when appear officials at the same time trying to seem patriots and to turn the money flow pro domo sua. One of such “hawks” – is Koretskiy (Aleander Baluyev). He starts the “crusade” against the authoritative business owner of the independent TV channel “Infocar”, Platon Makovskiy (Vladimir Mashkov). Firstly Mashkov is given a possibility “to share”, but after his attempts to step in politics – he is blown up. The investigation held by the too much honest and zealous officer Shmatko (Andrey Krasko) clear, that Platon Makovskiy is alive…

The scandal Pavel Lungin`s film was rumoured long before its première. The picture cinematized the book “Big Share” written by Yuliy Durov. Many are of the opinion, that the real prototype of the Makovskiy is the disgraced businessman Boris Berezovskiy, cause Juliy Durov very long was his “right hand”. But Makovskiy is more likely to be the summarized portrait of the authoritative businessman from 90ties. Koretskiy brilliantly played by Baluyev is the exact copy of the certain security officers, that overfilled the chain of command then. “The Oligarch” is brave and dynamic film precisely showing the realities of that time.

Vadik (Kharlamov) gets to heaven being drugged on his own wedding. His “personal file” is considered by the honourable old man. In the slow discussion of his life with the new friend Vadik tries to find in it some sense. But there is nothing more than hard-drinking, shoot-outs and lecherous deeds.

The scenario of “The Best Film” is not worth retelling, not that film plot is funny. The director-debutant Kirill Kuzin will not stick in the memory as the box-office hit creator. This film is one of the most awful, vulgar, trivial and disgraceful works the one could imagine. The attempt to make the Russian version of “Scary Movie”, the sparkling parody on the popular films, failed. Even the crowds of promoted by show business characters (like Dmitriy Nagiev, Boris Mioseev, Vladimir Turchinskiy and popular stars from “Comedy Club”) could not shelter the film. It is not funny interesting or creative, it is entirely vacuous. There is an evidence commercial project exploiting the TNT stars popularity. The “The Best Film” could be compared with the household bin full of perishables. If you do not press “Stop” in time, you would suffocate with the terrible smell.

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!
