While the government seeks to find out what the ship s passengers want and how to protect the local population, the rest of the city residents break into conflicting factions. Some view the aliens as a threat that should be extinguished, while others hope that the visitors are peaceful and offer an opportunity to learn more about the world beyond. When a young woman finds herself torn between her seemingly normal life and the alluring promise offered by one of the all-too-human extraterrestrials, the fate of the entire world is left hanging in the balance. ## Product Details - **Genre:** Horror - **Format:** Subtitled, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Alexander Petrov, Fedor Bondarchuk, Irina Starshenbaum - **Language:** Russian - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 13 minutes ## Images ![Attraction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qaSsf0J6L.jpg) ![Attraction - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81m3s1Qrx+L.jpg) ![Attraction - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sIDYG1NdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Movie is very good, but culturally doesn't translate if you're not Russian. *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020* Movie is very good, but culturally doesn't translate if you're not Russian. I was skeptical. There is a whole wave or new Russian scifi movies that have excellent effects, but lack story and cohesion. This is the first one that didn't make me cringe. Story is very coherent, dialogue is very good, characters have real motivations for what they are doing, even aliens have and underlying purpose in what they do and how they end up where they are (it's actually explained quite well). Effects are expensive and well done. The uniforms, weapons, vehicles, helicopters, planes, and other props look genuine and no expense seemed to be spared. This gives it a feeling of scale (like for example you actually see a few hundred soldiers trying to stop a riot, looks very realistic as opposed to cheesy camera angles where they'd try to make 10 look like a few hundred in other movies)Problem is I know for a fact it does not translate to western audiences. Cultures are too different, and I say this as someone living in US for nearly 30 years, but I'm fluent in Russian. Basically you have to speak Russian to understand the jokes, to feel the acting. Jokes by the way are quite good in this movie, made me laugh many times, which is kind of sad as it would take a while to explain to my English speaking friends even if I tried (I nearly lost it laughing when alien met girl's grandma and said "Too old, need to put down (to sleep)" after girl said the same thing about their dog that was getting old and suffering a few minutes earlier. Grandma's reaction is criticism of this young generation and how people used to be nicer).Acting is top notch. For example Artem who ends up being the bad guy, so much energy and vitality in him. He's such a great person in the beginning, so passionate and protective about his girlfriend. Like a role model for what men and born leaders should be (although with a youthful rebellious streak, but in a kind way). Reminds me of Chris Pine in Star Trek reboots, younger version of Cpt. Kirk. After trying to help one of the soldiers, trying to do the right thing turning in alien suit, and soldier not standing up for him after (this made him feel anger and injustice directed at authority), then seeing how he is losing his girlfriend, turned him into a bad guy in the end. Artem's character has a journey, that makes him change drastically, and there are cohesive motivations and events that lead up to that change. Though as I said before, unless you have experience with Russian culture, his character might seem weird and some nuances and motivations might be lost in translation.Anyway, great movie. Enjoyed it a lot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars One star off for conventional storyline - plus 1/2 for good intentions *by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020* It should be quite acceptable to any viewer born after 1990The tradition of stories to illuminate the complicated and/or confusing mysteries or puzzles of life goes back at least as far as the written word — probably to pictures on stone walls and ceilings.I was not really interested in this movie as an entertainment. I know a lot of stuff because I actually have a really broad education and many decades of contemplation. That said — the only subject I should speak authoritatively on is Science Fiction.From the disappointing reviews of industry critics and the ‘trailers’ online I knew pretty much what I was going to see before I watched it.My interest was in deconstructing a contemporary sample of ‘mainstream’ Speculative-Fiction from Russia in the context of Anglo-European spec-fi with a smattering of samples from other cultures — stretching from the very last part of the 19th Century to this part of the 21st Century — which I have steeped myself in.It is somewhat reassuring to see that cultural conventions and commercialized lackluster writing is found everywhere and in all languages.As I am watching this;Humans know that meteors are expected but aliens who travel from — elsewhere — are not aware of these and have no standing defense against particulate impacts of any scale, i.e. small moving fast objects are as dangerous as big moving slow object.Conventional in a non-offensive way in as much as we see two common adventure tropes early in the first act; 1 - Don’t split up the group. 2 - Don’t get cuddly and start to remove clothing. Don’t we all know these things?At this early point, the storyline requires an enormous level of technical suspension of disbelief. Character behavior of the students seems to ignore plausibility. This suggests that the writers are intent on examining and illuminating some aspect of the underlying theme basic to the writers’ agenda at the expense of any other consideration.OK. Its a comedy.Looks like everyone’s government everywhere suffers from partial brain damage. Consistently, the people who have to actually deal with emergencies, injuries, damage, defense, attack — so, the one’s in the ‘trenches’ — have a better perspective than the man in the street or the man ‘in the tower’ or ‘on the hill’. ( a traditionalist, I refrain from discussing the woman in the street because what a female is or does should not be reduced to common discussion whereas men are recognized as subject to more foibles and failings and are, frankly, less valued )Its a comedy of errors.As with classical myths and parables, the intention is to make gestures and leave signs, clues, if you will, of a possible way out of our situation.I will stay away from spoilers but this is a very conventional story — from a ‘non-Atlantic Ocean’ centric perspective — that is reassuring in the values of the creators of the film.To this viewer it is on par with all the other retreads of plot lines from the last 25 years or so in terms of production values and technology. It should be quite acceptable to any viewer born after 1990. It is silly in small ways regarding the staging and blocking of movement — presupposing that peripheral characters lack normal perceptions of their surroundings due to convenient plot needs and screen time limitations — pretty much like any other film.This bodes well for the entry of Russian sourced cinematic entries into the western media markets. Others have mentioned the viewing experience so I will not do that here.I like the over-all message. I was interested in contrasting and comparing various peripheral-to-the-story cultural elements.I recommend to any with an interest in Sci-Fi predictions of our possible futures the Niven-Pournelle series surrounding the character John Christian Falkenberg…Some days it is as if all of us are walking around in piss-filled shoes — the smell and the squishy sound is not enough to make the current state of affairs clear because everyone is in the same condition.So we rely on artists and sages to hold up a mirror — that we might, maybe, see what we actually look like, rather than what we dream.So far, whenever ‘delphic oracles’ have given warnings we have not been able to make the most of them…This movie is a hope that how we are doing is NOT the best we can do.Recommended by me — the critics disparage this effort because it is not new — but very little is. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Starman *by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023* Yes, this is a movie about a starman from another planet and just like so many other starman movies before it, the starman falls in love and leaves the girl behind. I would be like, with all this advanced technology, starman, I'm coming with you. Unfortunately, this starman...Because Humans are such an aggressive and barbaric species that it takes a million years for anyone of us to learn anything; the corporeal body just doesn't work that well as opposed to the soul body. But I digress.Finally, a movie that has good dubbed subtitles and not all the people sound like one person. The movie did have the usual characters, beautiful girl and nerdy guy relationship, older guy falls for highschool girl, and goons. The movie did drag in the middle due to following the well worn script of barbarism, but, it picked back up when there was interaction with the aliens and the different choices made by the human father, of course in relation to his daughter. Yet why would a father fire upon aliens when his daughter was trying to help another species get back home? Fathers, normal fathers, are a different breed of men.Anyway, I liked the adventure, the imagination of the homeworld of the alien species, and was overall curious to see what modern day Russian writers came up with as far as Sci-Fi is concerned.It is a good movie and I am interested in seeing the sequel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/82297252-attraction](https://www.desertcart.be/products/82297252-attraction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
