Watch Admiral For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

One of my all time favorites.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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.

An interesting, if flawed, biopic about Alexander Kolchak, Russian admiral during World War I, and after the Russian revolution, leader of the Russian whites during the civil war. I know the Soviet Union ended more than 20 years ago, but I was still surprised to see such a reverent movie about one of the leaders of the Russian whites. For example, the scene where Kolchak takes command of his army with the blessing of the Russian Orthodox Church is told with soaring musing, and without any hint of irony. Story of his romance with the wife of one of his fellow officers adds very little (in fact, probably detracts) from the film. In summary, a generally well made film and with a relatively generous budget, but a bit too reverent and solemn toward its subject.

Oh dear! What a load of rubbish. What could have been an enjoyable historical film charting the fall of the Russian monarchy and the rise of communism ended up as a Latin American styled, melodramatic soap opera. It's a pity they didn't add a bit of comedy then it could have qualified as a romantic comedy drama. The cuts between the protagonist and his mistress were far too many - they halted the development of the story. One moment men are have their limbs blown off and the next shot is of her writing lyrical love letters. Had they cut the romance scenes down by 95% it would have been an excellent historical drama - they certainly had the budget for it.And finally. The film was also ruined by the constant location pop ups. One moment they tell you they are in Omsk, three minutes later you are in Petrograd and then a minute after you are back in Omsk! I wouldn't mind but all the places looked the same so why bother? I'd like to have thought it was for the non Russian audience but it wasn't! Save your precious life and watch something more interesting.

A sweeping historical epic and moving love story reminiscent of David Lean's epic Dr Zhivago, Admiral is a big budget film set against the turbulent history of Russia between 1914 and 1920. The central character is Admiral Aleksandr Vasilevich Kolchak (Konstantin Khabenskiy), a genuine Russian hero – Arctic explorer, hero of the Baltic campaign in World War I – who became leader of White Russia after the revolution and was executed as a traitor by the Bolsheviks in 1920. Kolchak also embarks on an affair with Anna Timireva (Elizaveta Boyarskaya), the wife of his best friend and fellow officer. This marvellous film from director Andrei Kravchuk (The Italian, etc) explores the destruction of the opulent way of life of Imperial Russia as well as the brutal horrors of war. A stirring story of love, honour, patriotism and heroism, Admiral has been beautifully shot in widescreen and its visuals are often breath taking.
