The release of ambitious and expensive film, directed by Yegor Baranov, called "Outpost" was announced several years ago. There was nothing like in Russian cinema history before, as it was necessary to show a global post-apocalypse with a huge amount of high-quality computer graphics, a strong script and perfectly chosen cast. That's why the creators worked on the Outpost for several years, but it was definitely worth it. The film turned out spectacular and keeps suspense from the beginning till the very end.
It takes place in the near future in Russia. You can see holographic ads in the dark streets, technologies have gone far ahead, but still it is the world we know and live in. Life goes on, nothing portends a catastrophe when all of a sudden something unpredictable happens and the connection with the whole civilized world disappears.
It becomes clear that some mysterious enemy attacked the Earth. Only a small part of Russian territory of remained intact while the rest of the civilized world doesn't show any signs of life. The surviving military must urgently organize an outpost of defense to fight the enemy back.
I liked the way the creators worked on the characters. But the best is of course that detailed world of the future. I may say that Outpost is a successful symbiosis of Blade Runner, Minority Report and Skyline. However, I don't mean by that Yegor Baranov and his colleagues stole other people's ideas and did not offer anything. The film has original features that at some point turn the whole story upside down. And this is the strongest moment of the film for me.
I recommend watching the "Outpost" and making sure that a high-quality spectacular blockbuster can be made not only in Hollywood but in other countries too. I advise you to get ready for a real battle, because there is no compromise.
