Another Russian film that got dubbed in English and became so much harder to watch because of it. The dub is terrible and it turns the actors into a C-grade cast. It's a real shame because the sci-fi elements and the CG are proper, and films like these are quite hard to find nowadays. And seeing the ratings on film platforms, these dubs aren't helping anyway.

The setup isn't original, but the sci-fi designs are cool, the pacing is good and the film is enjoyable (if you can somehow black out the dub). It's a good thing the performances aren't pivotal to this film, but not everybody will be able to look past them. It's just incomprehensible why such unnecessary barriers are introduced for a film shot in 2022.
