“Well, what do we have here? Could this be one of those films that have stopped coming from big studios a long time ago? Could this be a decent, well-made and thought provoking story in an interesting setting with great visuals and acting? In 2020?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, yes! Leave it to the Russians to bring some loving Sci-Fi back. Set in an intriguingly nostalgic feeling USSR of the 80s, u0026quot;Sputniku0026quot; is a slow-paced, but increasingly intense story that manages to make you think a bit. The characters are nuanced, the plot is adequate, the cinematography very nice to excellent, and even the CGI is better than many films with way higher budgets.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you donu0026#39;t try to project any u0026quot;Westernu0026quot; expectations onto it and maybe even understand the u0026quot;Russian soulu0026quot; a bit, you will definitely enjoy this.”
