SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

samjacks-84272 Spoilers Are Likely (Not If You Know The Space Race)So, Here I Am Again. Today, I'll Be Reviewing Space Dogs, Russia's First Full-Length CGI Effort. Even Though It's Based Off Stuff That Actually Happened In The Soviet Union, A Country I LOVE Learning About, There's Still Reasons For Me To Tear This Film To Shreds.In Real Life, These Dogs (Belka And Strelka) Were The First Dogs Safely Returned From Space, Which Capitalised Off The Faults Of The Groundbreaking, Albeit Infamous Sputnik 2 Mission And Cleared The Way For The Soviets To Send Up The First People. This Film Exaggerates The Dogs' Capture, Training And Mission By Portraying Them As Actual Characters And Presenting The Film From Their Perspective. But In Spite Of It's Historical Roots...The Film Still Sucks.The Problem Is I Found The Dogs To Have Been Portrayed Pretty Bad, Even For A First Try. They Try To Make Their Dreams And Motivations Clear, But The Only Slightly Positive Factor Came Out Of That Was The Relationship Between Belka And Strelka. The Films Animation Is Up To Modern Standards, But Still Choppy And Unprofessional. The Only Time Where The Animation Looks Decent Is (Ironically) The Nighttime Scenes. Not To Mention, The Film Is Boring, Incoherent And Uninvolving, With Two-Dimensional Acting And Messages That Don't Translate Because Of The Aforementioned Reasons.What Do I Have To Say About Space Dogs? Read The Title Again. I've Seen Better Films The Actual Soviets Made And-Wait, There's A SEQUEL?!

Lena Schneider This is a great movie, but misunderstood due to cultural references. It wasn't mean to be another Pixar movie. It is however a great movie about the first ever dogs that went up into space and came back alive. In Russia that is a well know pair of dogs and doesn't need much explanation. Perhaps it could have used some more details in the translated version. The jokes in the movie are more funny to those who grew up in Russia and understand what life used to be like there. Watched this movie with my husband and son, and Canadian born husband really didn't like it till I explain the context to him. Not surpassingly , he loves the movie now. It tells a great story about a piece of history.

gerdesmail I would never recommend this movie to anyone age groups. It's long, boring and incoherent. It contains some abstract goals and dreams, and different environments that expose the cute little dogs for a little of everything. And have a very strange start. The film could not produce smiles or laughs. The only good thing was the dogs' relationship to each other. Bad for children and for adults. If one were to make a movie about space dogs, then it should rather be on the dog's wild adventures in space that could pique the imagination a bit. Instead they had to run around on the ground. It was as if they were trying to get everything in the movie, surroundings, environment, emotions, relationships, development, 3d, society and space. The result was a too superficial movie.

reisen55 If you want to see just how good our CG! movies are these days, SPACE DOGS is an entirely Russian effort. True, read the credits and all of the background images are clearly huge Soviet type statues at al. The plot involves two cute dogs and a funny rat plus three bad evil dogs, typical stuff. The animation is crude beyond a doubt, this is almost pre-Toy Story effort. And humor is just not there. It would be appealing to a very very very young viewer but if you want to truly appreciate THE INCREDIBLES and UP all the more so, watch this one and if you WANT to like it, that is a good thing but within 30 minutes you will find your DVD playing a more contemporary fare.
