A spaceship lands on earth, (Russia), after suffering a malfunction. The injured alien is rescued by, and interacts with, a human school-girl who falls in love with him. She helps him return to the spaceship but must fight a very jealous ex-boyfriend who doesn't want to let her go. The story has been told a few times but the authentic Russian flavour lends the premise some originality. The CGI is very good and the acting is up to scratch as once again foolish humans almost cause their city to be obliterated by mindlessly attacking the aliens. No wonder earth is off limits to this intelligent species as too dangerous to visit.
My biggest problem were the subtitles (very badly converted by voice recognition software for the deaf into English). It took an extra half second or so each time to process what each subtitle was actually trying to say, and concentrating on the words took a lot away from watching the film.
All up it was pretty good. Recommended, but try to find a better translated version.
