It's not comparable in quality to the tv show and very compressed
But it has some very interesting things about it
1. The USSR in it looks like atomic heart more than actual Moscow , futuristic and very big
2. It is very anti soviet / russian, even more so than the original. In the end of the movie Moscow is burning and exploding all over because of main characters actions
3. This was all made on government money (Фонд Кино), and it says things they don't say in current day Russian movies politically and despite this it's in theaters
Movie itself 6/10 but elevated by the interesting parts
Also very much a "based on" instead of adaptation, a lot of things skipped and the plot itself it 2-layered where original book is only 1 layer's contents
Budget was ~13M$ which is big for a russian movie but not that big for america
