Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

ralphkelly Cargo is a great effort. The first science fiction film made in Switzerland by first time directors. The first thing you notice are the amazing sets and look of the film. This is how CGI should be- seamlessly blending in, to an extent you cannot differentiate between what is real and what is computerized. The story is set aboard a spaceship in the future and it is obvious that the filmmakers have been heavily inspired by the likes of Alien and 2001 ASO and the story itself is more cerebral than most science fiction films which are usually categorized as horror or action. Regardless, you should watch Cargo at any cost if you like a good science fiction film.

Five legged dog 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.

Gordon Ilott Lets be reasonable, the year current is 2012 and with the likes of Batmans explosions and the story telling and acting of The Walking Dead, lets all take a second to look at 2009 and think about why this movie wasn't world renown and the creator and actors showered with gold and trophies. This is a must see. It is up there with Gattaca, Sunlight and The Matrix. Although some effects weren't perfect overall everything was believable. There was not at all one point in this movie where you will yawn, or wonder when it will pick up. I watched this film subtitled with English and I could follow the story very easily, I couldn't help but wonder what and where things were going to happen or take place or who was responsible for what and why.I refuse to speak plainly and give any hint of spoilers because I would feel ashamed if I gave away even a hint of this movie to you.This really shows where society is heading and what we need to look out for. Question everything. Everyone.I will be buying this movie asap. Netflix doesn't do it justice.

eve_dolluk Well I just watched this, its been around for 3 years and I am a big Sci Fi fan so not sure how I missed this.Earth is uninhabitable on the whole so people are now living on giant space stations orbiting earth but these are overcrowded and disease and illness is rife. Everyone wants to go and live on Rhea a beautiful planet full of life but there is one problem, its expensive !!We follow a female doctor who takes a job on board a cargo ship to earn the money to join her sister on the Utopian planet Rhea. The film starts a bit like Sunshine but on a more simplistic cargo ship, the ship is functional but very run down and has technical issues like an old oil rig that can often be seen sailing our seas. As the film progresses it becomes a bit of a murder mystery and you start to think that this is just a standard affair but revelations take place and you are sucked into the entire premise. There is a lot of homage to many Sci Fi films here but this is very much its own film with a good storyline as well as great suspense and mystery as well as a moral outlook. I was expecting something a bit low budget but this looked fantastic on the whole, there were a few weak effects towards the end but inside the Cargo ship it looked very realistic and you felt the size of the ship. The acting was on the whole good but nothing ground breaking just simple story telling, the lead female Dr draws you in in a vulnerable sort of way but at the same time shows great strength and intelligence. There are other characters on board the ship and they are less fleshed out an the focus is mainly the Dr and the police officer on board the ship. This is not Sci Fi action as such although it does have certain action elements it is well paced and ever revealing so will peak your interest continuously as long as you are not expecting loud bangs and flashy action scenes. I found this to be a Sci Fi film of the highest standard and often I am disappointed by many Sci Fi films. I am not sure what budget it was made on but it sows that with a clear vision you don't have to spend a lot to make a great looking filmTo sum up we have elements of Alien, Sunshine, Matrix but this is not a copy of any of them.9/10 for me
