Review of Salyut-7

Salyut-7 (2017)
7/10
a very human space movie
21 July 2018
Salyut-7 portrays astronauts as normal people as opposed to super heroes, unlike Gravity for example with wonder bullock and super clooney

The astronauts in this movie are very human, which feels more historically accurate, and a lot of screen time is invested in showing us their home and family lives. The trip into space is somewhat matter of fact in comparison and not dramatised, to the point where the two crew at times feel more like furniture removal guys than space men

I'd forgotten about this particular event but it stirred memories of news stories about these stranded astronauts that i'd seen on tv during the 1980's

As others have mentioned the movie is a little on the Hollywood side, and this is mainly because of the music which is way to present throughout, telling us how we should feel at every moment. Had the music been dialled back and more sparsely used, I think the movie would have been far better

Still a very solid space movie, and better than Gravity, Apollo 13 etc
