Let’s compare Enemy at the Gates directed by a renowned European director with Battle for Sevastopol directed by an unknown Russian. The story is similar, situated during WWII, in fact with a rather epic character, but the difference is just huge, with way too much patriotism and pathos in the story, and on the other hand great action scenes. It is a shame. I do not know if I have a problem with Russian cinematography, but usually I came across a problem, not understanding. Although understanding was experienced as well. But not in this case.

Except for some historical inaccuracies and a misleading title, I enjoyed the film. The battle scenes were quite realistic. Sometimes I could almost taste the dirt that the soldiers were either swallowing or being buried with. I was pleased that the Russian filmmakers were capable of self-criticism and showed that they can make a much better war film than Pearl Harbor or Fury. If it hadn't been for the unfortunate soundtrack which was really distracting at times, I would have given it five stars.
