Terra Nova

If there's anything worse than an awful B-movie, it's an awful Russian B-movie. Uninteresting, boring, annoying, predictable. (19/08/2021)

Terra Nova might look like a Russian action-packed, sci-fi-leaning thriller on the surface, but honestly, it's a total mess. Everyone here looks like your stereotypical Eastern European tough guy, with buzz cuts and ears sticking out, and I just couldn’t connect with any of the actors. Sure, it could've been an interesting movie, but all I felt was that I was watching something completely ridiculous. And yeah, it turned out exactly how you'd expect. (14/12/2010)

A solid kill-or-be-killed style film. With prisons bursting at the seams, two hundred Russian prisoners are sent to an island to survive without any security supervision, but as usual, they soon split into two groups and a gritty Russian spectacle ensues. There's no shortage of decent acting, likeable main characters, and badass villains, a decent dose of violence, cannibalism, and enough suspense and action to keep you on your toes. Yeah, I like these movies. The finale is awesome. 80%. (20/11/2017)
