A waste of 90 minutes of my life

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

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.

The movie is more full of plot holes than Swiss cheese. The trouble with German movies is that they stretch imagination. How did the stow-away Luddite survive several years on the ship without the cryogenics? How come the notoriously-Luddite marshal was not recognized before he was hired? In the end the antennas get destroyed so that the earthlings would not get false signals from them--that's well enough. But at the same time wouldn't the "Rheaites" be also be cut off from the communication from their home planet, i.e. Earch???? Believe me I am a germanophile and have a lot of respect for them. But German movies in general are awful in my view. They are simply not believable. They trust and even urge you to believe them but I simply can't. What a Pity.

Watching this movie is a complete waste of time.Let's start.First of all, this is a senseless version of "Matrix-on-space".For movie maker, writer and producer of this film physic is an opinion.Why one jet pack can't bring two persons?And when the doctor and the agent separate in the end, but what happens? Pure fantasy.Character portraying is awful! Does doctor Portmann has only one expression in her pretty face? Oh, my god!Why only terrorists think that mankind must back to live in Earth, now that the planet is habitable again?Is the unclear kind of government in the movie completely mindless? Oh no! We want mankind live in space stations and simulation... we are evil!And when Portmann connect herself into simulation who meet of thousands and thousands of persons? The sister and her family, who else?!Please.

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"
