Cosmoball reminded me of the Rollerball, Immortal Wars, and the Black Panther series. I think it is meant to be a family film; and is definitely trying to appeal to children. There are Muppet type characters present, and the kind of silly comedy which children can understand. There is some nudity, which seems antithetical to it being a family film. Maybe the Russians don't think it's a big deal. But the superheroes, and the super heroics were what impressed me. Ever wonder how young female gymnasts are able to do those impossible stunts? Maybe superheroes are sort of real, in a way; even if we never see them doing anything really heroic. No, we watch them play a meaningless game, like Cosmoball. Or is there something more to their efforts, as in the film? Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site, which also has live TV.
