La idea original es de una película de terror de ciencia ficción estadounidense con un pseudoalienígena en una estación de investigación militar en el desierto del Kazajistán, en 1983. Esta versión rusa es un drama humano sobre un astronauta parasitado y una científica que quiere ayudarle porque se enamora de él. Sin embargo con visuales americanos, clichés de género y personajes arquetípicos que ya conocemos de otros lugares (el coronel inhumano al mando, el científico entusiasta con conciencia, etc.). Buena producción y buenos actores, pero la experiencia del público es poco sorprendente y se mastica fácilmente.

A solid Russian sci-fi film with a nice main monster. After crashing in orbit, a cosmonaut brings back something alien from outer space and is imprisoned, examined and tested. At first glance the film seemed like it was going to be a rip-off of Alien, but the Russians go their own way and it's fine. The film is suspenseful and atmospheric rather than action packed (three scenes had me holding my breath nicely), and there was some gore, with one scene being downright delicious – I watched it three times immediately. The film is of course also on a great technical level, the thumping music is excellent, which adds to the cramped atmosphere, and I enjoyed the actors as well. Similarly-tuned genre films come out once a year with luck, so despite the minor flaws (the creature could have done more mischief) I'm happy with this one. Story***, Action***, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music****, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****.7.5/10.

I enjoyed this film about a Soviet encounter with a space parasite (or symbiote) a lot. I managed to see past the logic holes this time, thus being able to enjoy the whole thing without suffering any cultural shock from not hearing the otherwise ubiquitous English. Plus, to my surprise, I found that I didn't need subtitles all that much, I even sometimes noticed inaccuracies in them. So, for various reasons, I'm giving it four stars.
