Cargo (2009)
6/10
Very positive surprise

"Cargo" is a Swiss movie from over 5 years ago written and directed by Ivan Engler and Ralph Etter. Both are certainly no prolific filmmakers, neither before nor after this film, so it comes to me as a bit of a surprise that I quite enjoyed the watch. Science fiction usually is not my genre, but I liked the idea here of a fictitious reality and even if it's mostly displayed as something bad, you could still argue if it's maybe even something good as the people living in it appeared happy mostly. Or did they? The lead actress is Anna Katharina Schwabroh and what I said about the two directors also applies to her. She is a prolific actress, but mostly only in theater productions and not in movies. I thought this was also a good watch from the visual perspective and does not have to hide behind the competition from Hollywood, where science fiction also seems to become an appreciated genre again with recent blockbusters "Gravity", "Interstellar" and "The Martian". Thumbs up for the people who made this 100-movie here and recommend it. Almost a must-see if you love the genre.
