5.0 out of 5 stars Kind of a downer, but a good downer...
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020

Aniara is an existential fable about the pending end of humanity (in multiple senses).

Nicely shot and well-acted, its story is describable as a spiraling descent into dust. Todd McCarthy at the Hollywood Reporter wrote 'while the themes are clear, drama is perilously missing'. I suspect the reviewer may have missed a key point: When faced with real, actual, non-ending, existential dread, drama, as a human emotional construct, tends to fall by the wayside. People will eventually achieve acceptance of their fate and slip into simple 'existence' mode. Because what's the point of injecting drama into lives when the outcome is assured? (Robert Pattinson's 'High Life' is in a very similar vein, but with a slightly more upbeat, if ambiguous, final scene.)

(I should mention that Aniara is a Swedish film based on a 1950s poem by Swedish poet Harry Martinson, and the Swedes are so well known for their hot-blooded emotionality. I mean, they're just ruled by drama. Kidding Sweden... ;-)

A very different take from the big blockbusters (which I don't consider sci-fi). If you're feeling in a quiet mood and want something more introspective, give Aniara a try.

Recommended.

Where some movies don't have enough to entertain you, this movie is the complete opposite. There is SO MUCH to entertain you that the movie is almost overwhelming... and not predictable (FINALLY!) This could have easily been a 10-episode mini-series and I am shocked by how they managed to tell this much story in this much time. Worth the money.
This was the most that surprised me the most this year. It was just a random choice and now it is a favorite.

Just as dystopian and dark as everybody else says it is. It's not that hard to watch with the English subtitles. I feel like there were some questions left unanswered, but I suppose that's a part of it, and allowed for the stark ending. If you like a deep dive into human psychological deterioration under duress, this movie's for you. I will say though that given the theme, it could have been a lot worse than it was...I don't think it ever crosses the line into horror and there's no "gore for gore's sake." Take the rating seriously, though.

This movie well-shot and acted with the lead actress performing best of the cast, though the astronomer is entertaining as well. The story is a slow-burning downward spiral; though can find many feel-good moments in this movie. Overall, it takes an interesting look at how the characters live while coming to grips with their situation while hope slowly decays and transforms around them. The depth of the questions you get here are kind of up to the viewer, but it's an enjoyable watch and doesn't overstay its welcome.

1.0 out of 5 stars What is the worst movie you've ever watched...
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024

It's honestly hard to believe that this move was produced. Two hours of the most tedious, boring, angst-filled rubbish currently littering up Amazon Prime. If Ed Wood had decided to purposely make an awful movie, Aniara is what he would have come up with. No action, appallingly inept dialogue, stilted and wooden acting. There's literally nothing good about this movie. I watched it so you don't have to. Do yourself a favor. Spend two hours watching paint dry or grass growing in the front lawn. I promise you'll have a better time than sitting through this mess.

A creative portrayal of a slow collective descent into hopelessness, amidst a bold, unique imagining of a human future world. Great psychological hard sci-fi. I recommend you avoid this one if you're already depressed over the human condition and watch it if you're bored with mainstream Hollywood sci-fi.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hopeless and dark, but you can learn something from it.
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2023

This movie is utterly dark and dismal, with no happy ending of any kind. But it does show some good lessons which can be learned. 1. It shows the absolute stupidity of 2 groups of people who are often given far too much power and control over many things: Over-educated "engineers" and excessively controlling cheapskates controlling business in such a way they cut out vitally important things from "the budget" wrongfully. In this case, there was bad engineering of the ship and a complete lack of any kind of contingency plan or preparations. The reactor had little or no shielding or armor to protect it from space debris. There was apparently no spare fuel on board. The fuel that was on board was stored close to the reactor so it all had to be ejected when some space debris penetrated the reactor. All maneuvering and flight control systems were dependent on the same reactor, with no redundancy of any kind and no means of maneuvering the ship with the reactor not working. There were not even rocket-fuel powered emergency thrusters. The supplies on board were more limited than they should be for such a trip with such potential danger involved. In the end, the fate of everyone on board was dependent on the foolishness and greed of a few self-absorbed creeps who designed the ship and made absolutely no adequate preparations in case of any kind of unexpected situation. Those engineers and cheapskates running things were the ultimate cause of the problems. One more thing: Why would such a ship not have adequate frontal armor to be able to fly right through the space debris unscathed? Why should such a large ship need to turn to avoid a little mess of junk? Proper engineering would include a way to deal with the inevitable space debris without straying off course. Proper engineering would also include multiple contingency plans and options in case of something not going exactly according to plan and there would be multiple levels of redundancy in case of any failure, such as multiple reactors and extra fuel kept in separate compartments, away from the reactors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Für anspruchsvolle Cineasten?
Reviewed in Germany on November 21, 2020

Ich schaue mir gerne auch mal einen Film fernab des Mainstreams an und in Sachen Science Fiction bin ich
jetzt nicht wirklich ein Star Wars-Fan, sondern stehe mehr auf ruhigere Streifen, wie z.B. Interstellar oder
Passengers.
Ok, einige Kunstfilm-Cineasten werden zwar auch diese Filme als schnöden Mainstream abstempeln.......mir
egal, ich finde sie toll! :-)
Insofern passe ich dann vielleicht doch in das Bild dieser "Film-Kenner" - weil mich der Film "Aniara" sowas
von enttäuscht und gelangweilt hat, dass ich ihn nur deshalb zu Ende geschaut habe, weil ich kein Urteil
abgeben will, wenn ich vorzeitig abbreche.
Ein schwedischer Film hat mit Sicherheit nicht das Budget eines Hollywood-Streifens, aber das sieht man leider
an allen Ecken und Enden. Billige Weltraumtricks (Außenaufnahmen des Raumschiffs werden oft gezeigt und
haben mich fast mit einem Lächeln auf den Lippen an "Flash Gordon" aus den 30iger Jahren erinnert), das Innere
des Schiffs mutet ab der ersten Szene an, als ob es in einem Einkaufszentrum gedreht worden wäre - und auch sonst sieht alles sehr billig und C-Movie-mäßig aus.
Und die Handlung?..........oje, langweilig, langatmig, teils verwirrend, skurril und hat mit diesen Attributen
dann wohl alles, was einem "Kunstfilm-Kenner" mit der Zunge schnalzen lässt! :-)
Selbst bei den Sexszenen (das können sie ja die Schweden *g*) musste ich mich bemühen, meine Augen offen
zu halten. Die wurden wohl auch bewusst eingebaut, um die "Ausschaltquote" in Grenzen zu halten. :-)
Die Hauptdarstellerin Emelie Jonsson macht ihre Sache noch ganz gut und spielt die traurige, zuerst positiv
denkende, aber dann immer mehr in die Hoffnungslosigkeit abrutschende Protagonistin prinzipiell nicht
schlecht - deshalb würde ich auch einen Punkt vergeben.
Ansonsten ist das für mich ein langweiliger und billig wirkender C-Movie und dann zähle ich mich halt doch
lieber zum schnöden Mainstream-Publikum, das sich einfach nur für 2 Stunden unterhalten und verzaubern
lassen will.
Und diese tollen anspruchsvollen Cineasten, die so einem Film 5 Sterne geben, können ihn von mir aus 20mal
anschauen - ich schicke ihn zurück! :-)

A good film that should hopefully educate us into looking after the world we live in! The only down side (Hence the 4 stars and not a 5) is that there are no English subtitles....however, it is fairly easy to follow the plot which follows the journey of a spacecraft the size of New York leaving behind a doomed Earth and making its way to Mars. This is a nightmare scenario that may believably come to pass .....whether such a huge spacecraft is believable is open to debate...I think it should have been thousands of smaller modes of transport! Plenty of day to day life on board but alas it ends without showing the actual landing on Mars itself! This made the film feel incomplete....I wanted more! Will not be for the "Star Wars" audience which ,for me, is a plus. Expensive..but I would buy it again at a lower price so long as the subtitles are included!

An den ganzen negativen Bewertungen sieht man mal wieder, wie wenig die meisten Menschen bereit sind, bei einem neuen und komplexen Film mitzudenken. Sobald etwas mehr Tiefgang als ein Eimer Wasser hat, wird sofort kapituliert. Bitte nicht mehr Anspruch als der normale 08/15 Mainstream Quatsch von uns fordert, also nix… sehr traurig. Kein Wunder das die großen Filmstudios nur noch so einen nichtssagenden Müll Produzieren.
Aniara ist ein sehr beklemmender Film, der auch vom Zuschauer etwas fordert. Darsteller, Effekte, Score und Story sind wohldurchdacht und hervorragend Inszeniert. Ja, es gibt ein paar Längen im Film die man evtl. etwas hätte kürzen können. Aber will man das wirklich? Alles in allem einer der ganz wenigen neuen Science-Fiction Werke die einen eigenen Weg bestreiten und zu begeistern wissen. Bei so einigen Momenten hat mich Aniara an den Klassiker IKARIE XB1 von 1963 erinnert. Wer von dem ganzen Mainstream-Schrott die Schnauze voll hat wird hier bestens bedient!

Aufgrund einiger guter Rezessionen habe ich den Film gekauft, das Potenzial wird aber leider verschenkt. Mit geringem Budget und ohne Explosionen und Rattafatzbumm komme ich gut klar, aber eine Depristory, eine lesbische Beziehung und eine Rudelbumsszene machen einen Film nun alleine leider noch nicht anspruchsvoll. Das ganze schleppt sich zäh wie Kaugummi dahin, die Hauptakteure versuchen entweder den Laden am laufen zu halten, legen sich eine gepflegte Scheissegal-Haltung zu oder bringen sich um. Irgendeine Charakterentwicklung findet auch nicht statt, alle bleiben genauso farblos und uninteressant wie sie am Anfang schon waren. Die große Masse der Passagiere spielt fast überhaupt keine Rolle und lässt sich anscheinend einfach alles gefallen oder begeht halt auch Selbstmord. Und irgendwann ist dann es (endlich) rum. Gähn.
