A solar eclipse activates a magic time portal, and a regular schoolboy Vit'ko from the 21st century goes a thousand years back in time. It doesn’t take Vitya long to recognize the legendary bogatyrs in young Oleshko, powerful Ilya and severe Dobrynya. Their life passes in fighting cumans who try to destroy Rusichi at any cost, using both weapons and black magic. Vitya finds himself in the very midst of incredible events, battles with mythical creatures and acquires real courage.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I score three points for audacity and approaching this subject, but this is not enough. This is incomplete. This is a delay. It is not good. I hope that the filmmaker will move forward in the future and this Hollywood will set aside the games.

A good watchable Ukrainian fantasy movie. It is about a schoolboy who fears heights who gets sucked into some sort of vortex and is transported thousands of years into the past. the acting was very good and I was quite impressed with the fight scenes which was very good. It did not look like the special effects was cheap either. And to top it all it had a good storylineThe only problem was the sub titles which were a bit hit and miss in places as in some parts it is at a good speed that you can read it , then in other parts the sub title just flew past.

Off the get-go, be advised this movie has subtitles... I don't mind unless they are done poorly, but these seemed just fine to me.I normally break down movies into pros & cons, but honestly, almost everything about this movie falls into the "pro" category... the acting was really good / story was good / special effects were done really well / even fight choreography was really quite decent / camera work was fine / audio was fine... there really isn't much I can find fault with this movie...If you enjoy fantasy / adventure movies, this has to be one of the better ones I've seen in quite some time... That said... Cons ( and these really are minor ) - 1 - The CGI work on the "evil super monster" could have been better... It was still better than most stuff on SyFy and whatnot, but still looked fake / 2 - There were a couple of plot holes that had no explanation other than the movie saying "because I say so" / 3 - I really wish they had played off the "fairy tale" aspect of more of the knights... ie, a little more character development with more than just 1 knight... Again... these are all minor complaints... the movie as a whole was 100% enjoyable... Two thumbs up from me... ( Would I watch it again and again? probably not or at least not right away... which is why I'm giving 7 stars instead of like 8 or 9... )But... good flick.. highly recommend.( Side note... I assume the Cumans were actually speaking a different language during the movie... thus they were dubbed as well as subtitled? I didn't mind, but some of the dubbing sounded a little out of place... )
