yes and it be true that most of the people think that this movie contain too many visual effect and but this be not completely true . it seem so and because most of the watcher actually do not expect that from a russian movie . but let me clarify where do they get the effect from . most of the strange and a little bit animation scene be take from the panorama of the pleven epopee this be a monument of the pleven siege and which be the overturn in the russo turks war ( 1877 1878 ) . and about the monument in there be the battle scene and everything be make from wax and seem pretty much real . because about 10 000 soldier and citizen of pleven have die in a small valley about 2 square km surface . so and i see this movie a a modern admission of what have be do before and of course pay salute to the tremendous people and who have be fight for idea .
