So this is a dark, depressing look at what happens when humanity loses hope. It's a movie about what happens when the world you know is dying, and you're leaving to join a new colony else where --- and things go wrong. Terribly, terribly wrong. In a nutshell, a short luxury cruise ship is shuttling new colonists to Mars. The journey is supposed to take two weeks and instead starts to look more and more like the beginnings of a generational colony ship after something happens. They wait for rescue. They experience the stages of grief. Every time they get their hope renewed, it's crushed by something else. You definitely FEEL it in this movie. But the movie is still absolutely worth watching. This isn't a movie for everyone, and maybe not a movie for someone in quaratine already feeling alone and without hope, but it IS a good movie based on a poem the size of a small novel. It is in Swedish, but when I watched it on Hulu, it had English subtitles --- Subtitles don't bother me. The ending is beautiful. It is sad. It leaves a sense of sadness, don't get me wrong. But it was a beautiful ending to this movie and makes you feel the vast distances of space ever more keenly and how small and short our life experiences really are in comparison.
