Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

unc-93397 This would be a gorgeous fairytale for those who already seen Guest from the Future. Another Alisa's space adventure and a great gift for Natalya Guseva fans. Vyacheslav Nevinny former space pirate this time plays Gromozeka. Exciting family movie mostly for younger ages with an original idea of why wars and struggle among humans exist. Maybe some of visual effects look questionable and outdated but I enjoyed actors, music and the storyline. Kir Bulychev created Alisa - the most attractive science fiction character for children in USSR. The stories of Alisa are published as books. Enjoyable film can be recommended for family viewing

John Costello I acquired the tape to this Russian children's adventure a few months ago in part became I am translating the author's stories. Alice is the Harry Potter of Russian literature, with about a dozen books out since 1967. Three of them, this, 'Gost'ya is budushchego,' and 'Taina tret'ej planety' have been filmed or animated. There are some differences. Characters have been condensed to compact the story. The character of Gromozeka, the space archaeologist, has, in the books, tentacles, seven eyes arranged on his head in a fan, and an insatiable thirst for valerian drops. In this film he was portrayed by a human actor (who also appeared in 'Gost'ta...') and resembles the cowardly lion. Pavel Arsonov, who died some years ago, also filmed "Volshchebnik izimrudnogo goroda," or the "Wizard of the Emerald City," from the famous Russian children's tale.
