While the whole (un) civilized world, . already had time to watch "The Inhabited Island" (a particularly advanced cases - has not seen anything, . but ugly trailers), . selflessly scolds film, . exercising wit and Belles Lettres (the case is simple enough; importantly - to find more synonyms of the adjective "glamorous", . "cardboard" and "artificial", . and do they correspond to reality - is a matter of the tenth), . ц?ц?ц?ц©ц°ц?цєц?ц?цІц?ц© no less enthusiasm betrayed far more interesting to do - dreams of screen versions of their favorite domestic fiction and fantasy literature. The imagination runs so far, . we already see ourselves at the premiere of "Labyrinth of Reflections", . "Lines of dreams" and "Stars - cool toys", . represent, . How to upload trailers from the Diamond Sword, . wooden sword "and" No Time for Dragons ", . savoring the frames from the "Way of the sword" and "Thunderstorms in anarchy", . admiring the posters "Death of a loan" and "soft landing", . hoarse arguing on "The end justifies the means" in comments to the reviews of "culling", . happy raportuem the beginning of shooting "Witch's Century and, . again spit on his strictly cinematic direction, . share fresh impressions of TV series "The Chronicles of Echo." But why? And all because, . that the first experience of high budget screen version of the classics of domestic fiction, . way, . whatever one, . is "Inhabited Island", . was more than successful,
. Before successfully, . we, . confess, . still can not move away from the shock and, . reviewing already remembered ugly trailers, . crossed himself at the sight of no less fainting posters and do in every way a mother openly sabotage campaign (Krivorukov creatives - Project!), . once again surprised - well, as the film, . which seemed so frankly poor at all stages, . except final, . could eventually break out of this vicious circle and be a very worthy representative of the NF-genre? And because the matter is not in a remarkable literary first principle - the brothers Strugackih, . say so, . were much more successful works (yes, take at least distressful "It's hard to be god", . not to mention the "Roadside Picnic"),
. And not in the budget - we know very well how easily octet amount (in dollars, of course) turn into the most ordinary shit (let's not point the finger at Lebedev and Shmelev, right?). Quite a different matter - the movie has a soul and atmosphere, and most importantly. All the rest - will follow. And - is applied, . And how! Vasily Stepanov, . all these trailers (Lord, . b. eyes did not see them) looked like jolly patient madhouse, . was almost a perfect choice for the role of Maxim (well, . or Mac Sim, . if you like),
. Healthy, . charismatic, . first really good-natured and happy, smiling all the counter-cross, . as immersion in the world Saraksh he is transformed - and that's before us is not cheerful student, . came from the beautiful communist far, . and an adequate environment people, . who decided to change the world for the better - of course, . the best of their knowledge, . skills and concepts of good and evil. whole galaxy of other good actors, . from which most convincingly, . perhaps, . look Petr Fedorov (Guy, . one of Maxim), . Alexei Serebryakov (Wanderer), . Maxim Sukhanov (Pope) and even, . Imagine, . Fyodor Bondarchuk in the role of the Prosecutor,
. No, the other is also in place, but then these (plus Basil) - are remembered most. Decent camera work, combined with beautiful scenery make the planet Saraksh if not real, but very convincing. A steady hand producer adds to all this the very atmosphere which is so necessary to any film, including fiction. Yes, .

A word - sheer bedlam, with such a bad, bad. And he feels good on this side of the screen, which only enhances the effect of immersion. In all other respects "Inhabited Island" is extremely positive emotions. And even the fact that we were shown only the first half of the stories, no upsets - at least for the simple reason that the film has a pronounced intermediate final, and no breaks in the middle. See continuation want as quickly as possible - but is it not the best compliment?
