Plots(1)
An ecological collapse has made Earth uninhabitable. Those who remain are forced to live in space stations, circling the planet. Laura Portmann (Anna-Katharina Schwabroh), a young doctor onboard one of these space stations, hopes to find salvation on the far off planet, Rhea. In order to save money she gets a job on the cargo ship Kassandra which is headed on an eight-year return flight to Space Station 42. While onboard the ship, however, events take a sinister turn as she and the security guard, Samuel Decker (Martin Rapold), learn that the Kassandra is part of a large-scale cover-up. (StudioCanal UK)

Given that I’m always happy to see any pure sci-fi film (and even more so if it takes place in the future and in space), I quite liked Cargo. In terms of visuals and atmosphere, it’s very interesting, though the performances are of course weak. The biggest issue, however, is with the story itself, which is very fundamental and sad, as you’ll agree. Basically, in its not very short runtime, the film never manages to explain what is going on and why. The script is full of holes and anyone willing to dig into it (unlike me) would find lots of nonsense and inconsistencies. I’m rating it with a magnanimous three stars, but it could have been much better.
