Review of Cargo

Cargo (2009)
3/10
No substance scifi

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this movie based on the glowing reviews on IMDb.

I was somewhat disappointed. I was hoping that euro sci-if would offer something new, but there are no new ideas in this film. The acting is poor and the idea development is non existent.

While the effects are B grade this is not the biggest issue. The shortcoming is the lack of dialogue, there is perhaps no more than 10 words uttered in any conversation. There is no exploration of the ideas or the characters. There are plot wholes throughout. For instance, the Marshall never articulates what he is doing on board and what his agenda is. The way he floats off into the distance is very cliché and is not convincing. Also why are people using what looks like current guns so far in the future?

After watching this film I have to wonder about some of the reviews written on IMDb.
