    I don't understand the low rating

    I absolutely love the design and CGI. It was well worth my time. The story ain't that bad either, good acting.. as far as I can tell but I don't speak any Russian so.. who knows..

    For me this one ranks right next to films like: Edge of tomorrow, Oblivion, Elysium, District 9 & Pacific Rim.

    I might be biased towards SciFi flicks tho.. haha.. and it's nice to see aliens come down somewhere else then Los Angeles :-P

    So.. If you love SciFi.. Give it a try..

    Flaws could've easily been avoided

    It's a shame that a seasoned writer didn't proofread the screenplay to fix the many plot and technical issues. The editing has to be one of the worst I've seen. The directing was sub-par. The English dubbing was decent, and the cinematography and visuals were stunning. Acting was actually not bad. My generous 7/10 could've and should've easily been a 9/10. Such a shame.

    Better than Indepandance Day

    This movie is totally worth watching and it shows clearly, that even movies are politically judged, rather than artistically. Its sad to see such a bad rating for this movie, just because it is Russian made. The actors are charismatic and the story is good. If you like scifi movies and want a different atmosphere, than the usual Hollywood one, you will be satisfied for sure.

    G! E! (Good enough!)

    I'll watch anything sci fi, but at the same time I consider myself a sci fi snob and will be extremely, harshly critical of what I watch.

    This was worth my time. I had it on as background while I was multitasking, but it quickly grabbed my full attention.

    Lots of room from improvement, but very acceptable as it stands. I'm sure we'll see that improvement in future offers.

    I'm really enjoying our current availability of fare from sources other than Hollywood, especially Independents and Europe/Russia/Aust/NZ.

    Hollywood lately has a rot, where almost everything movie and television uses social agenda pandering central to the plot. "Attraction" is simple entertainment, and that's all I want!

    Good job!

    Abstraction Movie

    This is a weak sci-fi love flick. The CGI imagery is exceptional. There is ethnic varIety in the selection of young actors, showing the racial diversity in Russia but none of actors develop into 3 dimensional characters. The film paints Russian youth with irrational phobias and depicts the hierarchy of the Russian politicians and military leaders as totally ineffective and sissified. The story is irrational, especially the love-hate relationships. The only take away is give extraterrestrials a chance to explain their intensions.
