Reviews
The reception of World War Three has been moderately positive, with particular praise for its intense storytelling and atmosphere. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 7.3/10, indicating generally favorable viewer opinions. Critics have lauded the film's realistic depiction of war's psychological and social effects, with Boris Lyoskin's performance frequently noted for its depth and authenticity. However, some reviews highlight that the film's pacing can at times feel slow and that it may appeal more to fans of serious war dramas rather than mainstream audiences. A review from German cinema portal FilmDienst commended the movie's unflinching approach to the subject but suggested it lacks some narrative cohesion. Rotten Tomatoes does not have sufficient aggregated critic reviews for a confirmed rating, reflecting its niche international audience. Overall, the film is appreciated for thought-provoking themes and its earnest attempt to convey the gravity of hypothetical global conflict.
