Captivating movie !
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
First, i am huge sci-fi fan and i like to look up low budget movie like this and enjoy it. This movie had decent albeit many times recycled storyline and the set up isn't bad at all.But boy the acting is...especially the female lead ..she is not even trying! Overall the first part of movie there is too little conversation even when you simply have to say something but they don't?! I assume the silence should build up some kinda suspense but it doesn't,it feels empty like the characters cant even react in normal way....i was really struggling no to turn the movie off at that point. It gets slightly better in second half but there is too much nonsense going on in general to make it better. I wouldn't recommend this movie mainly due to poor acting but also terrible plot holes.
Earth is a wasteland; those rich enough to leave it behind have instead decamped to the paradise-like Rhea. Laura Portmann's sister has already won a lottery place on Rhea and so Portmann, a doctor, joins a cargo ship to earn enough money to follow her. While the rest of the crew are in cryosleep, Portmann makes the disturbing discovery that someone - or something - else is on the ship with them.Cargo very much feels like a film set in space, rather than a film about space: it's beautiful and convincing to look at. It also has a reasonable premise and some moments of tension and drama. Cargo thinks big in every sense ... but it doesn't quite have the plot or running time to pull it off. If you've seen films that cover common ground (Alien, Elysium and Oblivion, among many others) it won't help that Cargo attempts to cover so much in so little time. Ultimately it feels glossy, but the themes are a little clichéd now and the characterisation skimpy.
.I love sci fi and as far as that goes, this one fits the bill. Others have said it was like a prelude to Bladerunner and i get that; it also has an element of 'The Matrix' which is not fleshed out in the film. I watched a version that had no subs; rather, it was English voiced-over. Personally, i would have liked a bit more back-story of the origins of the ones who built the ships and the space stations as well as more about the ones who remained on earth. 5 stars. It was a chick flick, AFAIC.
In 2270, Earth is completely depleted and no one lives there anymore. Those that have money move to Rhea; but most of the population lives in orbit in space stations. Dr. Laura Portmann (Anna Katharina Schwabroh) decides to work in the cargo ship Kassandra in an eight year travel to Station 42 that is in orbit of RH278 to raise money to meet her sister Arianne (Maria Boettner) in Rhea. They keep in touch with each other, but their messages take three years to reach the other.Laura joins Captain Pierre Lacroix (Pierre Semmler) and his crew composed by the First Officer Anna Lindbergh (Regula Grauwiller); Communication Officer Miyuki Yoshida (Yangzom Brauen) and Igor Prokoff (Claude-Oliver Rudolph) and Claudio Vespucci (Michael Finger). The Sky Marshall Samuel Decker (Martin Rapold) joins the team since the terrorist group Luddites, led by Klaus Bruckner, is bombing the stations. Lacroix organizes shifts of eight and half months for each crew-member while the others rest in cryogenic sleep. Three years and eight months later, Laura finds that there is apparently someone in the cargo compartments and Decker and Lacroix are awakened to investigate the incident with her; however, Lacroix has an accident and dies and the crew is waken up. Further, she finds that Arianne's transmission to her took only twenty minutes. What might be the secret of the cargo transported by Kassandra and where the spaceship is going?"Cargo" is a Swiss sci-fi film with a mysterious and suspenseful story visibly inspired on "Abre los Ojos" (the same way "Matrix" was), in an environment that recalls "Alien". Unfortunately something is missing to be a great sci-fi.I saw this film twice on DVD to fully understand the story and maybe the problem is the excessive information along 112 minutes running time. Maybe "Cargo" could be a little longer to better develop the status quo of Earth, government and Luddites. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Cargo"
