Gagarin: First in Space Audience Reviews

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
PodBill Just what I expected
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
javman-60278 This film is another cinematic masterpiece in the history of spaceflight. I'm no film expert, but as an American engineer with a love for spaceflight history, I found this to be a very good film in all respects. Technical, drama, realism...all were good in many respects. The Russian cinematic effort and acting that went into this movie is 1st class. As an English speaker with only limited Russian language abilities as of this review, I found it very easy to follow the movie.Bravo to all those involved in bringing this great story to the movie screen. Russia and all the other former Soviet scientists, engineers, cosmonauts, and everyone ever involved with the former Soviet space program have much to be proud of. Congratulations from America.
hrvoje-d Well made film with top production, brilliant photography, excellent actors but without ambition to be more than propaganda cliché about glorious time and bravery. Relationship between team member who are also is direct rival are unrealistic idealistic.This film would be suitable for showing in Russian schools with purpose to raise national pride or for people who need only basic information about Yuri Gagarin and this historical event. Just a pity, with this team of filmmakers, it could be a masterpiece.
Kirpianuscus the first man in space. the greatness of an idea and the struggles behind it. a form of propaganda. and a film who reminds, for not young public from the East, special moments. it is a correct film, with family scenes, with oasis of humor, preserving the spirit and atmosphere of the period, more credible by American blockbusters about same theme, touching and heroic and not far by clichés. a film about Gagarin. simple and honest, seductive in a not complicated manner, impressive for accuracy and good occasion to remind one of the great moments from the XX century. a film who could be easily criticized. but its beauty is the emotion who translate the events. and silhouette and words of a man who makes history.
grantss Good biopic.The story of Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space. Told by concentrating on his historic flight, interspersed with flashbacks to his youth, Air Force training, cosmonaut training, his relationships and family life.Very well made. The special effects for Gagarin's journey into space and back are superb. The story around the flight is also well told - the director creates genuine tension regarding his safety, even before he goes into space. As you can imagine there would have been - nobody had done it before, and the technology was fairly primitive. The personal side is kind of schmaltzy though. There are also some other scenes that don't seem to add much to the movie.A good story on a very brave man.
