There is such a custom in Russia - swear American films and praise domestic, at the same time completely regardless of their quality, plot, plausibility, acting and everything else. Just if the film is Russian, and even more so Soviet, it means that he should immediately put 12 points, and who believes otherwise is a traitor to the homeland. Here's the truth in your eyes - the film is just terrible, it's a shame. Yes, it is old, the technical capabilities were very weak, but things like the plot, the elementary logic of what is happening, the seriousness of the attitude of the crew – all this does not cost money and does not require technology. But the brain was not used at any stage of production.
- A space opera is planned, but here the film is going, and the characters exaggerate one single note from the girl, saying who wrote who fell in love with... 10 minutes of muzzle, 20, it turned out that it would take the whole movie. Kid, you're going into space for life, you've got a wife on board, ALL, you don't have a school, you don't have a home, you don't have friends, you don't have girls from school, it doesn't matter who wrote it. If she's miraculously here on the ship, you'll have plenty of time to figure out who loves whom.
- Everything is voiced: an ordinary flight in zero gravity rings and oozes, automatic vertical doors too, it seems the whole ship is filled with horns. Where did the writers find it necessary to speak? Imagine Kubrick doing this in "Cosmic Odyssey" - for every action with u-lu-lu-lu-lu-luu instruments. . .
- The creation of a ship that develops light speed was a major breakthrough, and the technology of materializing any objects, including living beings, or instant translation from any unknown language, including dog barking, is so, a trifle, the ship is a bonus.
- The ship, flying at the speed of light, reaches Proxima Centauri within a couple of days, although it would take about 4.5 years to do so. Only there it goes to superluminal speed, and the MCC, having lost it from observation, speculates about a catastrophe associated with a black hole, although in reality the nearest black hole is at a distance of 1600 light years (355 times further), but if one existed in this area, then Proxima Centauri would not exist. At the same time, in an interview with journalists, Professor Filatov says that communication with the ship was lost after its exit from the solar system - so at the exit or at Proxima? Or a black hole? It's just different things. In the film, radio surveillance and communication sessions are carried out at an infinite signal speed (in other fiction, there is also instant communication, but it is not radio communication there).
- The epic moment of the ship’s transition to superluminal occurred because there was an extra kid on the ship, who glued his feet to the ceiling with homemade superglue, and then, wandering around the ship in a dress, he was afraid of the mouse and, screaming and waving his hands like the last degenerate, began to run around the ship, ran to the cabin, sat on the remote with a naked ass and, continuing to yell, violated fifty laws of physics. Did the authors have any respect for the viewer, for science, for this universe?
- Wizard... Why does a Soviet space movie need a wizard from Yeralash? Tell me one scene I need him in. No one understands what he symbolized.
These are just a few of what could be described. I'm really sorry that for someone this thrash is a childhood movie, loved and nostalgic. No acting, no script, no logic. Shapito from authors who have completely lost touch with reality and understanding where they are and what is happening.
