In the 23rd century a devastating ecological collapse has forced Earth`s inhabitants into overcrowded, disease-ridden space stations. Their only hope of escape is Rhea, a blissful yet expensive-to-reach planet five light years away. Hoping to fund a trip to Rhea and reunite with her family, Dr. Laura Portmann takes up employment on the cargo freighter Kassandra. But when a member of the ship`s crew is inexplicably murdered, Laura and the rest of the team begin to uncover the horrifying truth behind the mysterious cargo bay. (texte officiel du distributeur)

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.
