The limitless hubris of humans is a common theme of science fiction films, and Snowpiercer is no exception. Cargo was the first science fiction film produced in Switzerland, but after seeing the movie, we definitely hope it won't be the last.

What they find and the implications of their discovery are an innovative and surprising twist that is reminiscent of sci-fi favorites like The Matrix or Serenity. With her shift nearly over, Portmann begins to hear strange sounds coming from the cargo hold, and the rest of the crew is awakened from stasis to help her investigate. On such a long journey, the skeleton crew must each take months-long shifts on watch. To earn the cash, Portmann signs on for an eight-year stint aboard a cargo ship headed to an unmanned space station. Doctor Laura Portmann is desperate for money in order to pay passage to join her sister on Rhea, a paradise-like colony planet. The year is 2267, and the Earth is no longer inhabitable. The Swiss producers of Cargo obviously don't subscribe to that rosy view. Gene Roddenberry once imagined that in the future, humans will have left behind the concepts of money, greed, and deception. Director Danny Boyle and Cillian Murphy reunite triumphantly for Sunshine, taking all of the suspense and fear of 28 Days Later and distilling it perfectly for a sci-fi audience. With clear inspiration from films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris, Alien, and Event Horizon, this movie will take you on a wild psychological ride from start to finish. What they discover aboard the derelict ship could imperil their mission and the last chance for the human race.

As they near the end of their mission, the crew detects a distress beacon from another spaceship-a ship that disappeared while attempting the same objective seven years before. They must attempt to reignite the Sun with a nuclear bomb the size of Manhattan. The Earth endures freezing temperatures worldwide, and a small crew led by physicist Robert Capa (Cillian Murphy) is sent on a Hail Mary mission to save the Earth. It is 2057, and the Sun is already nearly dead. While most scientists agree that we have a few billion years left before our Sun dies, the plot of Sunshine moves that timeline up considerably.
