The Last Starship (2017)
Germans with Soviet Insignia and Japanese Names?
Yeah. I was a bit put off by their dyspeptic dystopia; but there were hints of a really decent story, unknown actors heroically-carrying a mortally-wounded, somewhat shallow script and much, much more...
Frankly, the whole thing reminded me of a bad buffet restaurant. You all know one. The place with 150 inedible items on the menu; but the pie is good...
If they got the writers to edit the screenplay, stopped wasting so much ammo, decided what the movie was about, it could have been fun.

Great Film about a Great Battle (minor spoilers?)
As Vienna never fell, there should be no spoilers possible; but it does contain drama so I'll skip that.
As usual, the the Ottomans want to roll up Europe like they did the formerly Christian nations of the Middle East and North Africa. Only Vienna stands in their path. They bring a huge army. Their siege is working to perfection. And yet, they fail.
How? It's great to watch the movie. You might even see things that remind you of Lord of the Rings (Large army out of the East, city without a strong enough defense to survive alone, weak, decadent leaders who can't agree about what to have for lunch, and a few surprises.
This is worth watching (I saw it on cable in Korea) and buying. But only if you like movies where the good guys win.
