Yes, it's worth seeing at the cinema. The film is based on real facts of the biography Kolchak naval commander, as well as the events of 1918-1920. What movie? On War. About love. That's why you need to watch it and in the cinema. To a head dive into the story. To two hours to forget about everything. To live, to think, to feel like the main characters. The game is excellent. The actors managed to convey the mood and emotions of each of the characters. The audience felt both fear and love, and regret, and stress. Something touched a nerve. Cried. Although, maybe it's me just such a sentimental, but you do not like it :) End bit predictable. Somewhere in the middle of the film had the feeling that at the end of Kolchak Shot. And so it happened. The last 3 minutes of the film dull stale from "Titanic," which is not particularly great. In general, I believe that a few years and our cinema will udelyvaet Hollywood with its consumer goods. Here. Decent picture.
... View MoreA hero. And his religion - Russia. A impressive movie, so great, so expansive, so subtle and delicate that any comment is a mistake. The admiral, as new Alexey Nevski and the nasty Bolsheviks, the traitor and the end of beautiful love story. But the real Kolchak is in dark. For be a masterpiece, the film must be for good taste of public. So, the history is only convention. The hero , the elegant lady, few details as bones of a huge story are enough. Therefore, it is difficult to criticize this production. Its strenghts are so numerous that any accusation is ridiculous. The Soviet enthusiasm for great fresco, the Russian way to see the life and the tragedy as atonement are key for images of a world end by an old definition.

Not that we don't need non-thinkers from time to time, but this movie doesn't even give its actors a chance to act: the best attitude for the man is the heroic brave grin, and for the woman - the pretentious yet vulnerable smile of adoration or resignation. I get that that time was a time of war and the appraisal of war; but I'm sure Russians are not as conventional and simple-minded as this (they have great writers to prove it - and some directors, too). Although, I'm sure someone like Putin would prefer them this way. This dough is easier to mold.
... View MoreJust a small correction, the filming of 'Admiral' took place before 'Irony of Fate 2'. So, Khabensky and Boyarskaya duet originally was born during production of 'Admiral'.Liza is a young actress, but she increases her actor's skills and abilities from film to film. 'Irony...' required another significance of role. And I think, the aim was attained - new heroine became modern, interesting and attractive for up-to-date public.A lot of excellent actors got only few seconds role in 'Admiral', but they used this time terrifically !And for summing up, 'Admiral' is a great movie which should be felt deeply and only after that - scrutinized.
