Panfilov's Twenty Eight

[Britchot]

I've always loved German and Russian war movies.  I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Gaijin is the Warthunder company, doing movies now. I call Russian Bias ;-)

See, arcade flight sims make enough money to fund movies and we just want a realistic fm/dm

I wonder what other crazy things went through people's minds

 

Looks like an interesting movie!

[Klaiber]

It looks good!  I always love Russian WW2 movies.

 

If anyone is curious, here is the historical information on the actual events that the movie is depicting:

I also noticed (@ 2:16) that the Russian Military Historical Society (RMHS) is involved somehow.  This is the same group that funded Ilya Muromets.

Well, after reading the wikipedia article, specifically about the Afanasyev Report, I still wish to see it.  However, I will view it like I did Fury

[Klaiber]

I saw that.  I'll still enjoy the hell out of the movie.

I enjoyed everything in Fury except their depiction of tank battles. I'm sure this is not going to be Saving Private Ryan but I'll still give it a view.
