Fleeing an ecological disaster past the point of no return, what's left of humanity must escape the hell on Earth they've created and fly to the stars. Giant interstellar cruise liners, outfitted with every luxury money can buy, take the human race on a three-week journey to their new home: Mars. On one such space liner, a woman known only as Mimaroben (Emelie Jonsson) assists the passengers as they use MIMA, an advanced AI, to lose themselves in memories of a time when the earth still thrived. Days into their voyage, disaster strikes the ship; debris throws them off course, depletes their fuel and cuts their comms. As the ship floats aimlessly through space with no sign of rescue, MR holds on to hope as society crumbles around her. She looks past certain doom to find a way to help her fellow survivors live, love and do whatever is necessary to hold on to their humanity. Based on the iconic poem by Swedish Nobel laureate Harry Martinson, Aniara explores the challenges faced by humankind with a deeply compassionate eye. (Arrow Films)

The Aniara is a spaceship carrying thousands of colonisers on their way to Mars. However, due to an accident, it loses fuel and is veered off course, inevitably aiming towards the depths of space. There’s a tiny chance of coming back, but the journey duration stretches from a couple of days to several years. Passengers cure their boredom and depression in a special room called the ‘Mima’, where, thanks to a unique technology with artificial intelligence, they can revive their earthly memories and enter a state of euphoric trance. But as the overloaded ‘Mima’ goes on strike, the society on the ship begins to disintegrate and change. Unfortunately, the instant Swedish existentialist depression with many strong moments lacks build-up due to some big plot jumps in the second half. And some questions remain unanswered till the end. On the whole, however, this is a very strong flick without a happy ending. This is what Passengers would look like if they had balls in Hollywood. [Sitges 2018]

Uma ficção científica filmada honestamente e escrita de forma impressionante sobre vários milhares de passageiros a caminho de Marte numa nave espacial que tem de despejar todo o seu combustível após um acidente e desviar-se da rota. A odisseia de vários anos seguinte, que observa o desaparecimento da civilização humana através da atmosfera em mudança de uma comunidade isolada deixada à sua sorte, onde a esperança e o sentido da existência morrem gradualmente, constrói os poucos personagens essenciais (especialmente a protagonista) e o mundo em que a história se desenrola de forma extraordinária. Sob a espetacular superfície, pode-se mesmo ler uma visão atenciosa, provocadora e intransigente, cuja realização é de certa forma tropeçada pelo facto de a história permanecer num lugar durante demasiado tempo, quase não gradua, e no final, quando tenta tudo apressadamente alcançar, não deixa espaço suficiente para que as imagens devastadoras finais tenham tempo para ressoar.
