Aniara (2018) - Oct 21, 2019 - Arrow

I searched but didn't find a dedicated thread for the Blu-ray (there is a thread for the movie itself) and with no review on this site, I figured I'd add one and link it to the release.

Since this film seems to be highly praised via top Google results, and since on first glance it has a lot of promising concepts and checks a lot of checkboxes for me, I thought I'd offer a contrasting opinion and I've posted a user review.

Despite my criticism I don't think it's that bad a film... it just had so much more potential and I had higher expectations of it.

I enjoyed it... despite the semi

Like Avenue 5 but without the laughs.

I agree, it had loads of potential but it just kind of ran out of steam at the end. Still a pretty good film though.

Initially I couldn’t work out whether I loved it or hated Aniara, but I found myself thinking about it for a few days afterwards - which is always a good sign, so I bought it. I liked the end a lot, one of the best things about it.

I loved it, and the ending was great.

I can't get this film out of my head. It's one the most thought-provoking films I've watched in ages. And that ending!

I think it stumbled in a lot of ways and had potential to be a better film. The despair was there. You could understand the hopelessness that was in play, but there's a detachment to it by the characters in the end that seemed out of place. Perhaps there's a numbness that takes hold of them near the end, but it seemed like a missed opportunity the way it was presented.
