Bereamic Awesome Movie
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
matt-97935 Naysayers on here definitely are not lovers of film. This is not Hollywood. No hay ending. No over scripted dialogues. Just a beautiful masterpiece. The camera work alone was amazing. truly a crowning achievement of the independent film movement. a must watch for lovers of cinema and a must watch for criterion movie lovers.
CHRIS P BACON Dear god what happened here? i read up about it how 4000 people helped fund the film and all the different locations the story sounded interesting the actors looks plausible a done deal welcome to Hollywood..Err not quite! i sat down with my wife and as we don't watch that many films now a days as we watched them all years ago i thought this sounds a decent film, so on it came with an Italian guy speaking in Italian good job my wife is Spanish as she translated it all, what he was saying sounded interesting and after what seemed like a year before he stopped talking and the film started (He talked way too long), we watched & we watched & we watched there was one thing missing any signs of movement? it was just actors talking and talking and not an ounce of action? i mean i didn't expect a Die Hard film as it was never going to be one but when actors are basically just talking and talking and there is nothing interesting happening..THEN it happened a shot in the woods where a return module/rocket with one man inside had just landed it was red hot it had just entered the earths atmosphere so you couldn't go near it until it cools down fire all around it BUT WAIT! an actor just opens the side hatch with his bare hand? Maybe he was from another film like Iron Man and he has super strengths & cant feel any pain? then there is the point they are all supposed to be Russian and yet are clearly English! it lost a lot of interest from me when they made this decision and they should of had Russian actors either dubbed over or subs it just wasn't original for me! i wanted it to be so much more i was screaming at my TV "Come on guys don't let me down" but they did the film failed in a way i suppose "Shot down in flames" comes to mind! & this is a real shame! simple "Attention to details" would of made this film so much more realistic? the music was lovely in the films and the locations too but for me although the actors where really good the mistakes made it too Amateur so i would only give it a 3/10
cope650 I'm going to keep this short and sweet, as I rarely go out of my way to review on IMDb, but this movie has a ~5/10 currently. That is RIDICULOUS.This movie is beautiful, as another reviewer said, almost like poetry. It had enough sci-fi in it to satisfy the science nerd in me, yet how the film impacted me from an emotional standpoint is where it really hits home. Watch this movie. It's certainly open to some interpretation, but I thought it was almost majestic (some scenes, for sure), and is definitely worth a watch. It's disgusting that this movie isn't reviewed higher, it was better than 90% of films I see.
trnjamesbond I viewed this film with an open mind. It was funded by the world, and was free to download on Frostwire P2P sharing program.The beginning of the film starts consisted of great film quality, excellent special effects, a really awesome score. The special effects would rate up there with any Hollywood production as far as I'm concerned. The score of the film is very beautiful and very well conducted. This films delves into an age where the Space Race was the game. Apparently the United States won that race, but The Cosmonaut is an interesting story not only is it a film about a failed mission to the moon, but it is also about a love story between Stas(Leon Ockenden),Andei(Max Wrottesley) and Yulia(Katrine De Candole). The two friends make Andrei and Stas make a bet to make there feelings about Yulia mutual, in other words they have the same feelings for one woman. Andrei eventually gets news that they are going to the moon from his Commander of the Russian space program. (This is known eventually over time while watching the film) Andrei picks his best friend Stas to be on the mission and take the role of the first Russian on the moon. Things don't pan out well for the young Russian Cosmonaut, and we are left with him walking through an emotional field of familiar sites and sounds but not quite as he remembered things.While these scenes are being raced across our television screens and into our senses, we see Yulia not being able to deal with the situation at hand and she starts to lose the will to live.This film is directed in a very abstract way that has a very basic storyline, but is magically brought to life with atmospheric sounds, colours, and visual effects. In my opinion, Cosmonaut is a very beautiful and visual film and well edited and scripted, with the help of people all over the world. Very nice to see this film took people from all over to deliver such a wonderful sight, and with no help from Hollywood, or any others like it. Cosmonaut is very imaginative and entertaining, I would recommend this film to anyone. My only complaint about the film is the Russians speak with a British accent, but regardless very well done, and I think the films storyline is a message to all of us. If we all stick together we can accomplish anything. Hats off to the director Nicolás Alcalá, the actors, and to all the wonderful people that supported this filmThank YOU!
