Reviews

This movie is interesting to watch. I haven't seen an Estonian movie before and i was impressed with the people, surroundings, history and language(I haven't heard Estonian before, but it sounds almost like Finnish to me).

The environments are astounding, and the actors are OK, the movie really tries to give a picture in which neither the Soviets nor the Germans should continue to dominate Estonia. Thats why the main actors fight against the Soviet invasion.

Since we get to follow some students and a landowner, we are a little limited to only a few peoples view of the Soviet/independence dilemma, which is understandable, however, it would have been interesting to see these events through the eyes of a poor person.

There are a couple of remarks i would like to make. I don't like that the Estonians that took part on the soviet side (the reds) are in this movie evildoers that kill people on the streets and rape innocent women. Since i have not read independent Estonian history this might be the whole truth, but this movie should at least have given a explanation to "why?" they (all) are so evil to get a better "vote" from me.

I'm not that fond of love stories in war movies, and this movie contains a love story that not should have been there. It's just silly, it gave me nothing i haven't seen 1000 times before.

The fighting and excitement of battle is totally OK, but there is an element of exaggeration, that lowers credibility, but its still high quality.

To sum up, it's a well made war movie, better than most, but Estonian film makers still have to do better to actually give us something we haven't seen in the cinema's yet. 7/10 mostly because of Estonian environment.

This isn't really a romantic comedy to me, it is more of a drama film that is made to look like a comedy because else it would not sell as many movie tickets. The drama part of this comedy gives it a depth that other movies is this genre doesn't have.

None the less this movie makes you laugh a lot. There are many scenes with toally crazy situations where i laughed my pants off.

*spoilers*

A movie about a handicapped girl with a alchoholic mother is more of a drama film than anything. All her friends are alchoholics and hang out in the ghetto. The girl even tries to commit suicide in one scene, this makes strong impression on me. But as this girl has a lovely personality the main male charachter can't seem to forget...

I can recommend this movie for everyone that likes swedish comedy and drama movies. 8/10.

This move touched my mind. It is a drama film with some comedian lines here and there. There are a few emotionally strong scenes with mourning that can make one cry. The whole message is about love and family.

It is a family drama where the mother in the family dies of cancer, this of course affect the family. The father starts drinking and the oldest son of age 17 have to take care of his smaller sister and smaller brother. There is a lot of funeral scenes that can be a little strong. When all is dark and seemes to end in an tragedy a maid shows up to help cleaning their house. Some love arises and the film has a slow turn to the better side.

I can recommed this movie for everyone, 9/10.

I have watched this movie twice, and both times i found it interesting and scary. I know that it could have been better if this.. and that, but i cant help liking this movie anyway.

Now to the good part:

It is a horror movie without aliens, this is the best part, there is absolutely no aliens. I wish there were more of this no aliens sci-fi movies.

Most of the main characters get killed, thats right, only a few survive the mission.

Design of the spaceships is beautiful, and the filming is great.

I simply can't help liking this movie a lot.

This movie get 8/10 from me and is one of the best horror sci-fi movies i have seen.
