T-34

This movie definitely does not aim at depicting anything technically or historically genuine about WWII. It rather shows a legend, like those of the old good russian "bogatyri", with all the good sentiments that are still very popular in Russia about the "Great Patriotic War" and the comforts of a contemporary action movie. That said, I found the film fresh and highly enjoyable. Maybe I'm a little biased, due to my personal interest in Russian language and popular culture, but I'd say that it compares well with the best occidental production of the same genre.

It is not "War and peace" there is no deep sense or revelations. There are some ridiculous episodes with Rambo-like faces or praying, but the overall impression is very good. Its a well-made entertainment film with a credible plot, elaborate details and state of the art filming technologies. Should be very interesting for those who are fond of games similar to "World of Tanks" or WW2 history.
