In the aftermath of a galactic war, which took place in proximity to Earth, the Moon was destroyed, and the poles of the planet disappeared. Now the climate of Moscow and its population resembles the anti-utopian [[cyberpunk]] Brazil: representatives of different races and subcultures, weirdos, exotic animals, and engineering miracles coexist on sun-drenched streets.
 
An enormous [[Spacecraft|spaceship]] hovers over Earth. This is a stadium where competitions are held, remotely resembling modern football, but at incredibly high speeds. The name of the game is ''Cosmoball'' - a kind of football (or Soccer) style competition.

In August 2020, [[Konstantin Ernst]], General Director of [[Channel One Russia|Channel One]], noted that the holdings decided to unite and put an excellent picture forward in order to support it with all the efforts of the industry.
«Often good films receive less attention, not because they do not correspond to their quality, but simply under-formatted them», said Ernst. In his opinion, on the eve of the Day of [[Russian Cinema]], it is symbolic that the film, which is certainly a powerful domestic blockbuster for all types of audience, is presented in Russia with the support of large media holdings.
 
Anton Zlatopolskiy ([[:ru:Златопольский, Антон Андреевич|ru]]), General Director of [[Russia-1]], noted that the standard situation for the industry was the independent promotion of their products by the holdings. However, in the current situation, competition fades into the background.

===Critical response===
The film received mostly low to average ratings from Russian critics, who noted the weak storyline and expressionless dialogues of the characters.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gazeta.ru/culture/2020/08/26/a_13212415.shtml |title="Вратарь Галактики": блокбастер, от которого хочется обратно на карантин |language=Russian |trans-title=''Goalkeeper of the Galaxy'': a blockbuster that makes you want to go back to quarantine |last=Voronkov |first=Pavel |date=2020-08-27 |work=[[Gazeta.Ru]] |access-date=2021-01-08 |archive-date=2021-02-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208050855/https://www.gazeta.ru/culture/2020/08/26/a_13212415.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
Nikolai Kornatsky from "[[Iskusstvo Kino|Film Art]]" wrote that with the visual part, everything is also not cosmic. The graphics themselves - unprecedented for our cinema - are in no way inferior to either ''[[Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets|Valerian]]'' (2017) or ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (film)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' (2014). But this whole huge, loud and populous world all too often evokes a sense of [[déjà vu]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://kinoart.ru/reviews/svyatye-stebli-kak-vratar-galaktiki-svel-vmeste-eralash-i-kosmogonicheskiy-mif |title=Святые стебли: как "Вратарь галактики" свел вместе "Ералаш" и космогонический миф |language=Russian |trans-title=Holy stems: how the ''Goalkeeper of the Galaxy'' brought together ''[[Yeralash]]'' and the cosmogonic myth |last=Kornatsky |first=Nikolai |date=2020-08-27 |work=[[Iskusstvo Kino|Film Art]] |access-date=2021-01-08 |archive-date=2021-01-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210109224619/https://kinoart.ru/reviews/svyatye-stebli-kak-vratar-galaktiki-svel-vmeste-eralash-i-kosmogonicheskiy-mif |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
[[Anton V. Dolin|Anton Dolin]] noted that the film lacks a clearly invented world, the laws, and background of which the authors begin to explain to the audience from the first seconds, but they continue to swimstruggle until the very end. An interesting plot, since three stories - about Dr. Frankenstein and the monster he spawned, about a naive boy who will eventually grow into a messiah, and about a sports competition - do not fit well with each other.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://meduza.io/feature/2020/08/27/vratar-galaktiki-dzhanika-fayzieva-film-v-kotorom-est-vse-krome-interesnogo-syuzheta-vyrazitelnyh-geroev-i-pravdopodobnyh-dialogov |title="Вратарь Галактики" Джаника Файзиева: фильм, в котором есть все, кроме интересного сюжета, выразительных героев и правдоподобных диалогов |language=Russian |trans-title=''Goalkeeper of the Galaxy'' by Dzhanik Fayziev: a film that has everything except an interesting plot, expressive characters and believable dialogues |last=Dolin |first=Anton |date=2020-08-27 |work=[[Meduza]] |access-date=2021-01-08 |archive-date=2021-01-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111071153/https://meduza.io/feature/2020/08/27/vratar-galaktiki-dzhanika-fayzieva-film-v-kotorom-est-vse-krome-interesnogo-syuzheta-vyrazitelnyh-geroev-i-pravdopodobnyh-dialogov |url-status=live }}</ref>
