Russian cinema on a big budget! Cool effects move the plot around a prophecy where fate of world hangs in balance. A bit long but worthwhile
Insanely stylish and extremely fun. The best in the series. The story is a little all over the place but that’s just part of the fun
2000's action fantasy with a dark style. Think Underworld or Constantine but Russian. Iff that sounds good to you you should have fun
Fun fantasy Action adaptation, about "light & dark" policing each other out of our sight! If you're into werewolve/vampire/etc this's for u!
A trippy blend of vampires, Matrix visuals, & even some LOTR-scale battle imagery. Complex & inventive with an unexpected full-circle ending
Gritty urban fantasy with some unconventional storytelling.
The plotting is needlessly complicated. The lead is lackluster. And the story never takes off because it’s burdened by being just Act 1.
Amazing film in regards for the industry where it's from (Russia). We need more movies from the 'Russian front' as groundbreaking as this 1.
Could’ve been a lot better
What a waste of a good concept.
