"Russian Fantasy"

I heard about this Russian fantasy movie very early on, but after watching it, I felt that although it was good, the creativity and performance were average. From the initial establishment of the contract and the slightly narrower worldview, one can guess that this is a popular fantasy movie. There is no deliberate rendering of the fantasy atmosphere in the movie, everything is intertwined in reality. The boundary between darkness and light is blurred and cumbersome, so the choice of which camp is basically just for the balance of the two sides. For the dark camp, they think the light camp is evil, and vice versa. I feel good about the names "Night Watcher" and "Sun Watcher", and the protagonist's contradictory life experience makes people feel stiff and uncomfortable. At the end of the movie, the voiceover indicates that the movie sequel will appear soon, and it is hoped that the next movie will make the story more vivid and heavy.
