I saw this a few years ago.  At least when I watched it, it was 
presented as a regular movie.  I wonder if you saw a different cut.  I 
don't remember it at all, but apparently I liked it at the time.  Late 
next year I plan to watch a bunch of Russian sci-fi movies and this will 
be one of them.  I'll see if it holds up on second viewing.
