    Don't really trust the bad reviews.
    The movie is actually really good and I've enjoyed it. Effects are 8/10, story is a bit predictable but still really exciting and enjoyable. Shows the struggles Russians faced in Russia during the German invasion and it's focused on Russian pilot Nikolai Komlev and his survival and endurance in the hard wilderness. Watch it if you can.
