An huge spacecraft crash lands in Moscow and amongst the ensuing chaos, we have the usual militaristic shoot 'em brigade versus the more peaceful let's get to know them approach as one of the occupants leaves the ship to explain that all they want is to repair it and move on. The daughter of the military commander, her boyfriend and their geeky friend make contact with him and he takes a bit of a shine to her. Now we embark on a rather silly adventure story with some really disappointing acting; a seriously stilted comedy script and even an inter-special blood transfusion! This story itself is more of a romance than anything else and reminded me a little of Noah Wyle's "Falling Skies" - mostly CGI, and not great CGI at that - but it is not, however, any worse than many big budget Hollywood sci-fi productions (i.e. "Independence Day: Resurgence") The almost Disney-esque dubbing really doesn't help either; I would far rather have seen it with subtitles... oh, and it's far too long!
