The political motives involved all seemed... pointless... without kids... Who cares who's rights are violated? The human race is done for. There's no point in fighting for a better day because we're not fighting for anyone.
I found this movie very powerful. I'm sure the book is even better and need to read it.
I noticed the long shots without a cut and was incredibly impressed by them. They had so many people involved... though it did pull me, briefly, out of the moment to think "How many takes did this take?"
The shakey camera and blood spatter made me feel like I was really there.
The abrupt end didn't bother me either because what they were fighting against was an abrupt end to humanity. Except, of course, the Fishes who were fighting for their political cause over the further existance of humanity.
This movie depressed... no... this movie made me feel hopeless all day yesterday.. and even into today. Everyone was just waiting to die.

You will be very impressed with Russian Ark, even if you don't think it's a great movie (I don't).
