Cargo

Cargo dwells in the bridge between death and reincarnation. The concept might be novel but the lack of solid plot makes this film a snoozefest.

But having said that, this film is perhaps a unique take on the genre. We don't see much content in this genre.

With not so strong performances by the actors, it feels like another hit and miss to really impress the audience.

The only thing worth watching is its concept. Apart from that the film has nothing else to offer.

If you are really into slow movies then go ahead, otherwise just reading the plot somewhere is enough.

This movie based a unique story , you can watch this film but if you like action film then this not good for you.

Movie without any logic and sense. A good plot wasted with some childish logics behind it. Waste of time

This film is an original film. It has a new and path breaking script Indian cinema is finally taking baby steps into the world of science fiction. This movie deserves the applause for being a new and original Idea. Many more filmmakers will then attempt this genre. Don't write something off. People rate Salman Khan's brainless films higher than this and they don't understand the impact of original cinema. This is not a perfect film but it is a brilliant film.

Cargo review :

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Fikar not. We finally have answer to the 'After life' theory - What happens to humans after they pass away??

Seems there is no after-life at all. No heaven or hell to worry about.

Once you die on planet earth, you just get transported to a spaceship hovering some 35,000 kms away; You are welcomed on board by two docile astronauts who cordially inform you that you are dead. Then after taking your finger prints (probably to delink your Aadhar card down here!!!), you are nicely escorted to a cell where they heal your injuries and body marks, then erase your memory and extract you back in to your next life. So very easy peasy, isnt it?!!

Cargo, the latest sci-fi film on Netflix, has an interesting concept and probably may have sounded great on paper but unfortunately, has translated in to a dull and amateurish endeavour which feels a drag even at just one hour fifty minutes of its run time.

Truly, there is nothing and absolutely nothing beyond its core concept. All you get to see for close to two hours are some random people dying in our world, arriving at the spaceship and going through the aforementioned punar janam process. This goes on and on and on...

The two astronauts, Vikrant Massey and Shweta Tripathi, both fantastic actors, just go through the motions with zero chemistry between them. The screenplay is to be blamed here!!

As for the spaceship and its interiors obviously inspired by 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968), it is disheartening to see that we are still (in 2020) unable to match the greatness that the legendary Stanley Kubrick could achieve in 1968. Sad!!
