What, going to space isn't exciting enough anymore? The first EVA in history isn't a good enough story?
A lot of what the movie portrays was vastly exaggerated, or outright didn't happen at all.
Leonov never stopped responding, nor did he get disoriented, nor pass out, not bounce violently around the ship. He was only outside for around 10 minutes.
The whole "let's see if we let them land, just in case they land in China" thing never happened. They were confident they could land within the USSR.
The whole oxygen leak thing never happened. Reentry was a bit delayed, but not that violent.
They never almost froze to death. They were, in fact, fine, and well prepared to survive. They didn't stay there a single night, but several, even after being spotted, because it took time to get a rescue crew there.
There was never any radio operator, they were found by a civilian aircraft, who notified the military, merely 4 hours after landing.
Leonov was a great pilot, but he was not a daredevil as portrayed.
He was also not at all a mediocre artist as portrayed, quite the contrary, he was a brilliant painter.
Half of the movie is great, but the added fake drama was way over the top.
