    • Trivia
      This movie was produced as a series of 6 episodes, with a total running time of close to 300 minutes.
    • Goofs
      In a second almost all people drop dead. But when the tanks go down the freeway, there are no cars on the road.
    • Crazy credits
      With the exception of a word here and there, the end credits are completely in Russian, making them useless in garnering more information about the film's production.
    • Alternate versions
      The original Russian version runs for approx. 153 minutes. For the export version the running time was reduced to approx. 127 minutes. Additionally, there is a 6-part TV version which runs for approx. 296 minutes.

    Mostly a great film. The ending was terrible.
    Quite an interesting take on the alien invasion genre. I would have rated it an 8 but for the incredibly bad ending. That will be the biggest point of contention with viewers in this film. How it ends. You may like it. Not me. I thought the characters dissolved quite quickly. Still worth a watch.
