“Mirror Wars” movie, Su-35 product-placement

Today saw this highly advertised movie, made by US and Russian united efforts. Construction bureau of Sukhoi participated in its creation too. Unfortunately, I didn’t find English version of site, the Russian one you can check out here: www.su-film.ru
Trailer you can download from my site here: “Mirror Wars” trailer (20 Mb mov-file).
And here you will find wallpaper of this movie: “Mirror Wars” wallpaper (1280×1024 jpg file)

Ok, what about me, it was huge disappointment. Can’t even tell you, what exactly made me feel more sad - awfull scenario or just bad work of director of photography. Low-quality computer graphics, poor inside and outside Su-35 views… Really, guys, this plane deserves much more respect. It’s manoeuvres in movie (simple roll, repeated many times, made everybody bored) can’t come even close to what this plane demonstrates in real life, on MAKS 2005 for example.
BTW, even with the same intellectual level of scenario, movie “Stealth” brought me a little bit more pleasure. Just in terms of nice caughted actions and views.
I have many videos, hope will soon upload them here. Maybe they don’t come into the movie alltogether, but good composition plus reality is always better.

So, finalizing… even as a marketing event for Sukhoi products movie is extremely bad. On the contrary to the prducts by themselfes. I love Su-family jets very much, so maybe that is why I’m expecting such approach from everybody. And as a result - such extremely bad impression from the movie.
Thank you. Guys from Sukhoi - continue to create beautifull planes. Guys movie-makers - please, learn from them.

I saw this movie. Beleive me, it’s very far from name “beautiful”. It was such a great disappointment for me, big fan of Sukhoi fighters. This company deserves much more appreciation. In this movie everything is totally bad - scenario, cameraman work. I feel great shame brand Sukhoi has relation to this movie.

Just watched the trailer, but it was a disappointment for Russian Aircraft’s fans, someone like me.
