Aniara is a eulogy to Earth and nature, while also serving as a commentary on how we numb ourselves to escape reality. Much weirder than I expected, but in a good way! It has an underlying energy of a climate disaster movie, with a baked-in message about our current exploitation of our planet's resources, reminding us of the insane gift that Earth is. The film was more artsy than I anticipated, too. As the movie goes on, it gets pretty moody, leaving space for some interpretation, especially when it’s exploring the theme of human insignificance in the vastness of space and time.

This is not your typical sci-fi movie. It has excellent cinematography, direction, writing and acting. The ending is not what you'd expect in a movie, but probably what you'd expect in reality.

Aniara is a sci-fi film currently streaming on Disney+. After watching it, I found the direction to be quite disjointed. The narrative jumped around so much that it was difficult to fully grasp the overarching concept of the film. The performances were lackluster, feeling more like placeholders than genuine portrayals. The actors seemed to be filling space in a storyline that never really materialized, likely due to a confused screenplay that struggled to establish a coherent direction. Overall, I didn't enjoy the film and wouldn't recommend it. It simply didn't resonate with me, and I found it hard to stay engaged throughout, regardless of how I tried to approach it. It ultimately fell flat.

D+ when i think of a movie that wasted my precious time I'll never get back,this will be it. The film begged to be taken seriously at the beginning but halfway through the director was more interested in bringing out their own adult fantasies and in most distasteful manner. totally lost the plot and i skipped to the ending.

It's a good story but it did feel slow.

Il film è girato con tecniche che oggi sembrano arcaiche. La storia è piena di incongruenze. Come si può pensare di usare oggetti usa a e getta su di una nave spaziale? E' lento, il ritmo inesistente. Due ore e passa buttate.

Wonderful film about purpose and home.

This film adeptly explores how fragile we are as humans. By placing the setting in space, alone, completely and forever unmoored from the rest of humanity, it strips away so many contrived ideas that we subscribe to as a species. Literally one of the bleakest endings I have ever seen in film and that's a compliment. The producers had the conviction to follow through on the premise. Excellent movie.

An excellent illustration of a story about humans moving to Mars inside a giant cruiser, that slowly gets turned into their coffin, while they turn hope into nihilism and then into their sunset.

A sci fi masterpiece movie from a bygone age, when the story was more import than the VFX, not that Aniara shies on the VFX which are exquisite, but the story is central. It has been a very long time since I watched a sci fi of this kind which was this good.

Waste of time. Everything is a complete downfall and depression. There was no advancement, learning or will to survive. Very dark and hopeless movie.

About spoilers: I won't write any direct spoilers, but allegories are made to the emotional themes. If you're not interested in that, stay away. A film that will stick with me for a while. I live in Sweden, but I rarely watch Swedish films. This one I didn't even know was Swedish until I started it up and all the characters were speaking Swedish (and the initial credits). It's got a flavor of ups and downs, but is in no way a film that raises spirits. It's one to ponder, to help us get to a place of considering the consequences of actions, and the fragility of life. I was really impressed with the attention to detail and toned down action of the film. There's a lot of tension, but it doesn't dabble in David vs Goliath or much of that nature. There's definitely a theme of hierarchy woven into the narrative, but it's not in focus. Instead, we follow the different paths that characters embark upon.

Downright pathetic. Terrible acting. Plot voids. Non-compelling characters. Plus the protagonist (whose name is so important that no one can recall it) screams like a butchered pig whenever the occasion is on. Gratuitous lesbian porno. Gratuitous etero porno. Had to skip all of that to avoid bashing the screen with a baseball bat. She is also ugly and irritating as fluck. Anyway: -there is no flucking sound in space -with such amazing technology, no one could send an SOS following the deviation -absurd and inconsistent ending -totally gratuitous plot: completely deprived of any content. Absurd someone paid to shoot this schit.

A decent watch. Nothing blockbuster. For me to watch a foreign film with subtitles, is speaking volumes. I mostly enjoyed the space-travel aspect. Yes....the Fi in Sci-Fi is obvious to a space nerd like myself, but it worked.

One of the bleakest, most depressing movies (pieces of art) one would ever see, hear, look at; and I LOVED every minute of it!

this movie was no doubt very weird, but kept me entertained the whole time. wild story. ending is fuckkkkked up tho

Mind-bending and spooky.

The most amazing movies I've seen all year. One of the only movies to make me cry at the end. Just watch it.

Slow, depressing, and typical bleak euro. Feels like a lot of the "rescue probe" thread got left on the cutting room floor, so that was rather pointless. Actors were good though. Felt a lot like other movies that were created from very short stories – etherial and disconnected. Difficult to engage with the entire runtime

This is a movie I won't soon forget. It's beautiful, and moving, and heartbreaking. I loved it but was also left feeling quite despondent and alone, as the timeline continued. It is both one of the most beautiful, but also most depressing movies I've ever seen. I appreciate that it didn't have a fake Disney-eque happy ending, because real life rarely does. If you enjoy Sci-Fi with a deeper meaning, give this a view.
