- Seen: 21 March 2021.
Three young men and two young women are
trapped in Moscow when aliens in the form of lethal electricity attack Earth.
They search the devastation for other survivals.
The concept is interesting. This Moscow
isn’t the Moscow we visited in 1987 but much is the same and we don’t see many
films placed n Moscow so that’s fun. It’s exciting enough. Those are the
plusses. On the minus side: there are so many holes in the logic that it almost
falls apart. The dialogue is riddled with clichés, the characters are
unlikeable, and the whole American macho things is irritating.
It could have been so much better, but it’s entertaining.
