Stalingrad

Russia's first 3-D outing may be the most attended film in their cinematic history.  It boasts the highest price tag so far and the cinematography and CG effects have raised the bar substantially.
Two very different love stories unfold amid one of the bloodiest, longest and most expensive battles of WWII.  Epic in scope but anchored by emotionally nuanced examinations of human frailty, I found this film exceptionally entertaining.  Its 2 hours and 11 minutes flew by as the ashes of war floated down around me.
