A band of determined Russian soldiers fight to hold a strategic building in their devastated city against a ruthless German army, and in the process become deeply connected to a Russian woman who has been living there. In Stalingrad, directed by Fedor Bondarchuk, the scale of the battle contrasts dramatically with the human drama of the Russian soldiers, the few remaining civilians and their invaders into Stalingrad.

        Are you using an US account?

        Well I don't know what TA & Clear did to make it work but it sure didn't work on my AU account. Only when I switched to my US account was I able to redeem and watch the movie.

      Alright, I have figured out how it works.

      AU account with AU credit card = Error
      US account without credit card = OK
      AU account without credit card = OK

        Same error here with my AU MS account.
        It's not linked to an AU CC, but it is linked to my AU Paypal

        I have no payment information registered with my AU account and I still can't 'buy' this movie from the US store.

        EDIT: I logged out of the Microsoft store, logged back in, and it worked.

    You never hear about Ruth when she's in an army, but when she's not it's all they can talk about. When did Ruth become such an important military asset anyway

  • itstuan on 20/05/2017 - 21:00

    decent movie if you're not too fussy about the plot, like the German would easily tear down the building but they decide to send in their troops in small waves…

      I didnt realise how close germany got to total domination of russia. My own rumour theory was they froze unprepared due to russian winter, but they got seriously close to Moscow. Stalingrad is as close as they got.

      • humpda on 20/05/2017 - 21:36

        Stalingrad…now Volgagrad…is a fair way from Moscow. it was part of Germany's 1943 summer offensive - Case Blue - which aimed to conquer the Caucasus. Von Paulus 6th army advanced as far as Stalingrad on the Volga. Essentially the battle is seen as a strategic turning point on the Eastern Front.

        Germans actually were on Moscow's fringe at on of the trolleybus last station. They just decided to focus on different targets and not waste their resources on that.
        A movie is horrible by the way. don't waste yore time on kremlins bullshit propaganda.

          Just curious of those downvoters. Care to explain? Didn't you know that Germans were actually at the Moscow fringe or just love brainwash from putin?

  • PepsImax600ml on 20/05/2017 - 21:05

    the 1993 German version is much better. Told from the German side, worth checking out

      I almost spat my coffee when the above person said it got bad reviews.

      The German version is amazing.

  • TimeOrMoney on 20/05/2017 - 22:46

    Dan Carlin's Hardcore History – Ghosts of the Ostfront Series is an amazing look into the conflicts at the Eastern Front of WW2.

  • [Deactivated] on 20/05/2017 - 22:52

    Might pay to rent it anyway, apparently its a great flick. Firing up the Surface book as we speak.

    This is a bad movie from both historical and artistic points of view, as most of the movies of Feodor Bondarchuk. Unlike the great movies of his father Sergei Bondarchuk. If you want to watch truly great movies about the war, watch his father's. E.g., Fate of a Man, They fought for their Country etc. You will not be dissapointed and maybe you will partially understand how Russians felt about the great war. Sergei and most of his actors fought in it themselves.

    If you want a modern one, watch Panfilov's 28 Men. I even found it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkG_xwxaT6Q&t=1s it's not as good as Sergei's masterpeices, but it is accurate from historical point of view at least.

    • megaalc on 21/05/2017 - 16:56

      I would also recommend to watch Fortress of War (2010). Much better than this version about Stalingrad battle.

      • [Deactivated] on 21/05/2017 - 18:13

        Thanks for the info, I have not watched that one. Will watch it myself.

    Everyone should watch Stalingrad filmed by Vilsmaier in 1993 and not this one.

  • d86 on 22/05/2017 - 00:08

    Don't waste your time on it guys. The director has made himself a laughingstock in Russia by producing high quality crap like this movie. It's got 5.7/10 on the Russian IMDB. If you want to enjoy a really good Russian film then watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYGOmxbX0hM or this https://vimeo.com/album/3439826. Both come with English subs. Cheers.

    WOW

    What a complete POS this movie is.

    I will never get that 2 hours and 10 minutes of my life back.

    Honestly if you paid me $10 to watch it again I wouldn't do it.

    Terrible.
