With Earth in disrepair and no longer inhabitable, the human race begins to leave the planet for a new home on Mars. One of the departing vessels, the ship Aniara, runs through a field of space wreckage shortly after takeoff and is damaged beyond repair. With Aniara knocked off-course and drifting powerlessly out of control, the crew and passengers alike must wrestle with the reality of their fate. Crew member MR (Emelie Jonsson) operates a sentient computer that allows humans to experience idyllic memories of their lives on Earth. As the ship drifts further into space, the passengers begin to lose hope and sanity amid the growing sense of disaster. Pressure builds on MR as she is the only one who can keep the burgeoning insanity and lethal depression at bay.

Mediocre at best. The premise was good but poor execution plus they have all the Social -liberal Swedish political ideology. Forced diversity is a huge turn off. Not everyone like the woke politics. Now, years pass and no one looks older? Plot twists are meaningless, the dream holodeck goes no where, they find something in space and again meaningless, and even the ending meaningless.

It's not perfect, but it's a very good exploration into existential dread. It, in no way, deserves the 1 star reviews it's getting - interestingly several of those mention the film's diversity and socialist ideals as reasons for it being bad? Anyways, give this a shot if you're in a melancholic mood and want a movie that will subvert your expectations.

Previews oversold it, not worth the cost and barely worth the time. Started off with some interesting ideas, but ultimately went nowhere. There was *tons* of meaningless filler and some of the major plot points make no sense. Bad sci-fi, middling story of isolated people facing oblivion in general.
