A man who serves in the war between the forces of Light and Dark comes into possession of a device that can restore life to Moscow, which was nearly destroyed by an apocalyptic event.
Previously, Russian filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov, famous for the Night Watch and Day Watch films before he went to Hollywood, was attached to direct the film.
As a peek into the mind of an up-and-coming animator (who is aided in his efforts by the equally dark and quirky Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, who brought us Night Watch and Day Watch ), it’s a nimble and eye-catching success.
Bekmambetov did not actually make Stalingrad, and to be fair, director Fedor Bondarchuk mounts a physically impressive production with less computerized chintziness than, say, Day Watch .
