Russians can make very good movies. Unfortunately, in America it is not always appreciated because many people are not used to watch movies with subtitles. For these people I can say: please make an effort, learn to watch and read at the same time, this movie, along with many other Russian (or foreign, for that matter) movies is worth it.
Well written scenario, good acting, exciting action. It should be mentioned, though, that it is not just another mindless action movie. Rather, it also give a study of the human nature, how people respond to the global catastrophe like the one shown there. Unfortunately, not everyone responds in the best manner, some people show their evil nature to the point of prevalent banditism, robbery and even Nazi-style mass murder. But there are also nice people ready to help and some of them also learn, in the hard way, how to overcome their selfishness and become helping and sharing.
All in all, a very good mini-serial, with quite unexpected ending. Just don't expect it to be a happy ending, unlike corny happy endings in many Hollywood flicks.
