OT:splendid WWII movie you\'ll never see:(
One movie studio in Russia finished a new WWII movie, "The story of the convoy PQ-17" It is 90% computer graphics. Only live action are humans. Ships, planes, etc. are computer generated.
You can watch the quality here:
http://newsru.com/arch/cinema/12feb2004/pq17.html
It is a ruusian site but you can watch video clips and snapshots by going to big triangle with "Bse Foto" or a link "1 fragment filma"
I don't know how much you know about the tragig story of PQ-17 but it is a rare but very disturbing example of the blatant cowardice of the Royal Navy

Because it will never be shown in US or UK.
Maybe in Germany or France - they are more tolerant of non-Holywood production.
When did you Last see a russian movie ? And there are a lot of very good, believe me but they will never shown in the West - no happy ending, no waving of US flag and why bother to translate that slavic gibberish??

I think it will be a second screening of Valentin Pikul's book. First one was "Bayazet" and it was awfull. Hope this attempt will be better.
"Why, oh, why russian movies unknown to western audience!" - compare "Solaris" by Tarkovsky and Last Sodenberg rubbish and everything will be clear. (You may also compare them both with original Lem's book and you'll understand who is the best sci-fi writer of XX century).
