"I very like this movie" is an homage to an excellent movie which has utterly disappeared: The Amateur (1981) starring John Savage, Christopher Plummer and Marthe Keller. It also takes place mostly in Russia, like The Amateur which contains the line, "I very like your hat." But there the similarities end, as one is a Cold War thriller and this is pure high-end science fiction.
I do like this movie A LOT. I've rated it 9 stars. The story is much better than most alien invasion movies. It is, in fact, highly creative and fueled by a lively imagination. There are fine actors in every role. There is great tension and it has some wicked surprises. The special effects are at times startling and always flawless. One final thought: it respects Russia and Russians in ways our modern western media never, ever recognize.
