Because of it's inherit Artistic properties, STALKER is amazingly interesting, insightful, thought-provoking, and boring. It's one of the few movies I've been so interesting and involved in, I fell asleep. Not for long, but long enough to miss an insight or two. Like all of Tarkovsky's films, the story is slow in telling but intended to be so. The film could be told in a shorter form but it wouldn't have the same effect. Andrei Tarkovsky's film deserves it's fame and place in the User's Top-200 Films on the Internet Movie Database. Since it's release, people in the 30 mile radius of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant have dubbed the cordoned area "The Zone" after the movie and call themselves Stalkers. A game that any FPS gamer and nearly any other gamer with taste will fall in love with S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl, the First Person Shooter based on the film and book (Roadside Picnic). Pick it up if you have PC that will run it.Read full review
Mysticism and Lacaninan psychology unite in the cinematic telling this journey of 3 characters from Soviet Russia into The Zone; a place of mystery, danger, hypnotic image sequences, and subconscious desire. Featuring an incredible soundtrack by Eduard Artemyev.

Amazing movie, but it is slow moving and you won't know what it's really all about until the last 10 minutes. Stick with it to the end. You'll be glad you did.

The Stalker is my favorite Tarkovsky film. It holds over time and just as powerful each viewing.

I am a PC gamer and I first found out about this movie because there was a game made based off of this movie titled "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl" I loved the game so I looked up the movie and bought it. I was not expecting much from the movie I just wanted to see where all the ideas in the game came from. But I hit the jackpot! this movie is amazing! it is a work of art in every way possible. It is a very long movie, around 3 hours and it was very slow, however I can not imagine it any other way. This entire movie is symbolic, I have watched it three times and I still have not figured everything out. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who thinks they are deep enough to understand it.
