Het is 1985. Het onbemande Sovjet ruimtestation Salyut-7 reageert plotseling niet meer op aansturing vanuit het controle centrum. Als het ruimtestation – de trots van de Sovjet ruimtevaart – uit de lucht valt, zal niet alleen het imago van het land ernstige schade oplopen, maar zal er ook een ongekend aantal slachtoffers vallen. Om een ramp te voorkomen moeten mensen naar het station toe. Maar nog nooit in de geschiedenis is geprobeerd een ongecontroleerd schip te enteren in de ruimte. Tot op de dag van vandaag geldt deze missie als de grootste technische uitdaging uit de geschiedenis van de ruimtevaart. (Cinéart Nederland)

Russia's answer to America's Gravity. The Russians are certainly not doing badly at all. Technically they're excellent, the acting is decent too, and there are a few tense scenes. But there was something missing for a higher rating for me. A solid 65%

You learn so many new things that I would have never believed before. I wasn't aware of this event, and while the film is somewhat inflated with a lot of alterations, the essence remains the same. I wouldn’t have expected the Russians to venture into space-themed films, and I was a bit skeptical, but that was disproven within the first few minutes. For a reasonable budget, the filmmakers got the maximum out of the minimum; visually, there's not much to improve—everything runs like a Swiss watch. At times, it's impressive how skillfully the creators tackled this theme, as the film also offers a solid atmosphere complemented by booming music, with a few moments that will stick in my mind for a long time. The acting is surprisingly good as well. Sometimes, the behavior of the main characters annoyed me a bit, as some decisions seemed unnecessary and rushed at the moment, but then I realized that I could calmly think through each step from the comfort of my chair, while they had to make decisions in orbit. It’s clear that nerves might have played a role at times. It’s not worth a perfect score, but within this genre, it does not embarrass itself; on the contrary, it outshines a few Hollywood films. I give it 82%.

Visually, Salyut 7 was made very well. I also liked the narrative style supported by the appropriate musical accompaniment. It was really suspenseful at times, subtly touching, and also a bit funny. However, I would expect the Russians to avoid having an American-style ending. (75%)
