Plot: Maxim Bortnikov is on a repair mission in space when a powerful solar flare releases a proton storm. He fails to get himself to safety, and chaos ensues. The station is hit, and Maxim is bang in the middle of the impact zone. The only one who can save him is Anna, the AI of Delta Station, who oversees the mission. She tries to guide Maxim back to safety, but various debris clouds keep getting in the way, and with each attempt, Maxim's suit loses power and protection. Even so, they can't give up, as they are the only ones who can prevent an even bigger disaster.

Russia's Gravity, but with a bigger focus on style. I'm a bit bummed I wasn't able to watch this in theaters, but happy it was released with the original dub intact. That's a win for Russian genre films nowadays. Don't even attempt to take this film seriously, it's a rollercoaster experience that is all about the glitz and vibes. There's no filler to be seen, it takes the action about five minutes to start, and it doesn't let up until the credits start rolling. I had a real blast with this one, but the current political situation will make it tricky (if not impossible) for Free Fall to reach a broad audience.
