Recs for good Russian Sci-fi and Fantasy

Post by Edvarius »

I mean, what the heck? If we're gonna have Russians spamming all over the place here we might as well make them feel at home, maybe even get them on topic :roll:

Oh, and available with decent English dubs or subs, of course.

Films:
Solaris - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069293/

Haven't seen this one yet but I've heard good things about it, it has similarities to 2001: A space odyssey and the first star trek movie.

Stalker - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079944/?ref_=tt_rec_tt

Intriguing, atmospheric sci-fi story with some religious themes, has some similarities to Contact.


Video games:
Metro 2033: http://store.steampowered.com/app/43110/

Fantastic sci-fi\post-apocalyptic horror game with a sequel just as good, based on a well-received book that you may want to read first.

The Inhabited Island movies are fairly good.
