    • Trivia
      'Sputnik' is a word associated with space exploration, as it was the name of the first artificial satellites put in orbit around the earth. It is also the Russian word for 'companion' or 'fellow traveler', alluding to the companion the commander brings along.
    • Goofs
      When Tatyana is first arriving at the facility in Kazakhstan, the guards are watching the car convoy arrive through a window and press the button to open the gate. In the next scene, the gate opens and the convoy enters the facility. A dog is walking near the fence by the gate, but was not visible in the area in the previous scene from the guardhouse.

    Excellent cinematography, but the story goes nowhere
    Cinematography (camera, pace, lighting, angles) is top-notch. Score is majestic and utterly suggestive of a dark, claustrophobic atmosphere and the sense of grappling with the unknown. Acting is good enough. However, the story goes nowhere really. The reach of the plot runs out at just over an hour, once the picture has become clear of what the situation is. From there on, it becomes nonsensical, as it lacks a credible motivation for the main characters' choices of course of action. There is also little reason behind a middle ranked army officer keeping all of this secret from headquarters. And the child subplot is rather superfluous and contributes nothing. The resolution of the story is hasty and fairly commonplace, a sign of the script having run out of original ideas.

    The film is, therefore, a mixed bag. Technically, it stands its ground very well against better and more expensive sci-fi productions from Hollywood . It is true that special effects and CGI are sparse here, but this film is not meant to tread the same roads as thinly-scripted, CGI-heavy, teen sensations like Transformers. Instead, a well worked out script would have allowed expert direction to make this into a solid, sober and tense, sci-fi drama.
