The most depressing sci-fi ever

>look guys we encountered incontrovertible proof of non-human civilisation
>nobody cares because it means we're all doomed and nobody's coming to rescue us

The only person who might have cared died soon after the spear was retrieved anyway. It was just meant as another layer of cosmic horror/dread.

Can someone please tell me when will films stop trying to push a social change agenda? MUST EVERY FUCKING MOVIE HAVE LESBIANS AND FAGS???

I'm not convinced the film said anything positive about either of those things. Or do you just mean you don't want to see it at all? Positive or negative?

Didn't they have enough fuel to cover more than three months though, so that they could adjust the trajectory after the deviation? Also imagine going into a space mission without having enough fuel resources for emergencies. more than anything else. Also why literally no one from Mars did contact them and send any kind of help or rescue?

I'm gonna watch it later. It seems normalfags dislike it a lot. Why? It looks interesting, almost like Dune. This is hard sci-fiction.

Due to the imminent meltdown of the nuclear engines they had to eject all of their fuel to not explode. Extra emergency fuel stored somewhere else on the ship would have been a smart idea but the way the film presents the journey to Mars it seems like it is considered a long bus trip from their perspective, so extra fuel would be seen as a waste of space.
The captain mentions that their communications where down due to the initial explosion and they had no way to fix them. I imagine Mars did not send a rescue because they did not know where the Aniara was in deep space.
It's not a pleasant film, so I imagine most people don't want their days ruined.

it did not feel like pushing an agenda, it was more like a female approach to story telling. Instead of a focus on events and the situation the narrative focused on relationships and the fragile and self centered emotions of the protagionists. It simply is how females perceive the world.

>so extra fuel would be seen as a waste of space.

Well, stupid enough. Less discos and casinos, more fuel to not drift into the void endlessly I guess.

In fairness the accident that did occur was astronomical odds wise. At a certain point being over-prepared for emergencies is a bad thing. They may as well have had laser canons on the ship in case of an alien attack.

I thought it worked well. The interpersonal melodrama was good wallpaper for the horror the film was trying to levy onto the viewer. Kept the tone nice and dreary too.

Does this man on man gay shit in it? If so, I am not watching it. Respond now.

Not that I can recall, no.

Is this basically Titanic in space?

No, they have very little in common.

Is it worth watching?

>At a certain point being over-prepared for emergencies is a bad thing

Care to elaborate? It's a journey-mission into space, the film is bad for portraying it as a holiday vacation trip.

this

From their perspective the trip to mars is like a Caribbean cruise from one nation to another. Which is why they have pools and game rooms and bars etc. The Aniara was never meant to be out in deep space longer than the 3 week travel period. Which is why things start going wrong.
Part of the reason was to take up the travel time, but I assume it was also to entice people to move to Mars. I wouldn't call it a mission until things went wrong.

what should i watch - Aniara or High Life?

Or should i watch them both back to back and blow my head off with a shotgun after that?

I didn't care for High Life personally but it is serviceable. I consider Aniara rather highly and would recommend it to any science-fiction fan.

Aniara was bleak, reflective and very well executed

High Life was shit

I have not seen the film, but I am a huge fan of the epic poem that it is based on.

>We came from Earth, from Dorisland
>the jewel in our solar system
>the only orb where Life obtained
>a land of milk and honey.
>Describe the landscapes we found there,
>the days their dawns could breed.
>Describe the creature fine and fair
>who sewed the shrouds for his own seed
>till God and Satan hand in hand
>through a deranged and poisoned land
>took flight uphill and down
>from man: a king with ashen crown.

Both just alright, but Aniara is a more interesting premise.

The poem is wonderful, and they do end up using lines from it in the film to good effect I think.

So what was that thing in the end?

just a thing, from somewhere
all that really matters is it's not carrying any fuel

The Spear? It's never explained beyond it being a kind of detritus from the perspective of the humans on board.

It looked like a giant dildo to me.

Some space titan out there has been denied her galactic-scale orgasm by selfish humans

Naturally the lesbians must be saved by a giant penis. The films commentary is astounding.

Beautiful.

Sounds interesting. Except for the part about the ship being full of normies having sex because this is the only thing they care about. And cult/religion shit

The sexual aspects of the film payed off for me, accept for one scene which went on a bit too long. The cults section of the film is the weakest part but thankfully is not too long. And still manages to have interesting imagery anyway.

There will be a day when children will born into another planet and their parents will tell stories to them about their previous planet home called Earth.

Damn... So deep...

I have my doubts. It's just not practical.

How can you know?

That's because you crave cock.

I don't know, I just doubt. As it stands cleaning up Earth would be easier than trying to change planets. Sure alien technology could crash into my backyard and thrust us into the space age of travel tomorrow but, it's just not very likely.

>incel opinion
disregarded

You stated the premise. The burden of proof lies with you.

Because there's no evidence that any civilisation has conquered space in the 13 billion years of the universe's existence.

The ending was a bit unbelievable because that ship would probably not last that long. Still, I would have liked to see more about the period between 10 and 30 years in. Looked like that's the time when the real shit went down.
lmao

>muh fermi paradox

I do wonder about that. It seems hard to believe even the outer shell would last half that time but maybe. It makes for a extremely memorable ending either way.

Exactly. These snowflakes can't enjoy anything that even suggests things exist that they don't like.

it also has niggers
why would you enjoy something like this?

What do you think would be breaking down the hill? Excepting any collision or GRB, the only thing it would interact with is cosmic ray's and interstellar wind.

Why do you keep existing? There are faggots and niggers in this existence. You should get out.

It's an engaging thought provoking science fiction story that stuck with me long after I had finished watching it. If anything it is an example of why hedonism (and homosexuality) aren't always great things. So why would someone who bemoans those things dislike it?

The sheer scale of time. I know the hull was built to deal with the temperature, pressure, and radiation but after a certain point you'd think it would break down.
Mind you I wasn't taken out of the film in the moment, if anything it drew me in more for the final shot. It's just something I mulled over after the fact.

this is the correct assertation.

not an argument
>If anything it is an example of why hedonism (and homosexuality) aren't always great things.
woah so deep

It's not meant to be deep. Again, I am unsure why you would dislike that message.

Why would the scale of time affect it? 100 years of not having anything to interact with is the same as 100000 years of not having anything to interact with.

All those white men killing themselves because they know something you don't. Don't you want to join them? No niggers or fags to ever deal with again.

#130251509
You are not funny. You are not shocking anyone with your /pol/tard edgyness. Not gonna give you a (You) either. Go fuck yourself you trollnigger.

There isn't a lack of interaction, as I said constant hazardous temperature, pressure, and radiation would be slowly eating away at it. Space is a vacuum but it is not devoid of things that would harm a man made ship. Even if it was built to last through those.
You can make the argument their future tech is solid enough to last against those factors forever but it seems unrealistic. Again, just a nitpick.

Well even with one Hydrogen atom per cubic meter is almost nothing it's something and even in space 6+ million years of outer bombardment and an internal atmosphere will rock your ship

Not him but are we sure it wasn't some alien-made tech? Maybe it was made by ayys.

I'm swedish and never heard about this movie.

So? I'm from a country with lots of movies per year and I haven't seen any of them.
Protip: not pajeet

France?

Thinking it over there are several scenes with large glass-like walls that do not seem to be thick at all. It is possible they had future tech far beyond anything we have and so would survive space for that long. It is science fiction after all.

>waaah people have sex with other people

How did they build that huge elevator to transport people from Earth to the spacecraft?

Man was I hyped for this movie
Man was I insanely disappointed

suicide is for the weak but if I would ever do it I would take people like you with me

>The concept of a tower reaching geosynchronous orbit was first published in 1895 by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.
>To construct a space elevator on Earth, the cable material would need to be both stronger and lighter (have greater specific strength) than any known material. Development of new materials that meet the demanding specific strength requirement must happen before designs can progress beyond discussion stage. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been identified as possibly being able to meet the specific strength requirements for an Earth space elevator.[2][4] Other materials considered have been boron nitride nanotubes, and diamond nanothreads, which were first constructed in 2014
>In 2019, the International Academy of Astronautics published "Road to the Space Elevator Era",[40] a study report summarizing the assessment of the space elevator as of summer 2018. The essence is that a broad group of space professionals gathered and assessed the status of the space elevator development, each contributing their expertise and coming to similar conclusions : (a) Earth Space Elevators seem feasible, reinforcing the IAA 2013 study conclusion (b) Space Elevator development initiation is nearer than most think. This last conclusion is based on a potential process for manufacturing macro-scale single crystal graphene [41] with higher specific strength than carbon nanotubes.
Technology that almost exists. Space Elevators are more practical than rockets it would seem.

That's an odd mindset.

>depressing
take it to /r9k/, sadboia

Ok, so how did it end? I didnt get it.
Honestly i kinda fast forwarded towards the end cause i didnt care.
Still they reached some soert of planet? and what happened to their eyes? Is it because of alack of sun or something? why not simply have UV lamps?

also i felt the visuals were really uninspired...and some of the smaller details really pulled me out of the film.
Like why the fuck did the captain voice sound so low fi on the speakers? Were talking about the future, even the cheapest sound playing mechanics would be producing very high quality sound at no cost...
Also the mima melt down was dumb as fuck..
Like is this idiocracy?
why didnt they just let it rest for a month, it made no sense since it would have been easy to explain especially since the captain understood it as well.

No, because I'm not him, you retard dumbo faggot.

Is this space comedy?

The ship reached the planet they mentioned in the start of the film, the one the astronomer/doomsayer said they would never live to see. The physical deterioration was due to indifference and misery on top of poor living conditions after years of floating in space with no hope.
Assumptions about audio quality aside I think you misunderstood the MIMA sequences and their purpose in the film. It may help to not skip through a film you want to understand.
Why not?

So what exactly did i not understand you shithead?
Youre making as much sense as the movie did.
I did not skip the mima part.

If you did not care enough about the movie to watch all of it, why should I care enough to explain it to you?

Also why the fuck was that fat hideous astronomer also the face of the project and in the video greeting?
That would never have been done.
The directing and camera work were boring as well.
I get they might have had budget issues but the way to solve that is not to simply shoot in existing places and pretend its suppose to be in space but to use smart and stylized camera work and directing.

sounds like you skipped everything, lmao

Your question about the astronomer is answered in the film.

>Also the mima melt down was dumb as fuck..
>I'm too dumb and American to get this film

i find it odd that no one is talking about the sentient dream machine, i found that the most interesting point of the movie and wanted to know more about it

>Ctrl f
>No Moon

GTFO MOON is kino

Tits or gtfo

ah well oops, you nerds are calling it mima

MIMA was a very interesting aspect of things that I guess gets overshadowed by later plot points. The suicide sequence was one of the better scenes in the film, in my opinion.
It was fine, for some reason it just didn't resonate with me.

nah, I found the spear more interesting

The film had a lasting impression on you I see.

In space travel "extra fuel" is not a luxury you can easily afford. Take a look at the rocket equation.

In space, extra "space" is cheap. No friction means the only constraints on the shape of your vessel are structural. What's not cheap is extra mass, and any fuel with enough energy density for flying people to mars is going to have significant mass.

What was up with that part where they were surrounded by weird lights and a bunch of people died? Was it an alien attack?

Some kind of space storm if I remember correctly.

It's not really that crazy for what you're talking about. it's in space, so no moisture, no bacterial action, no oxidation. just microcollisions and radiation.

I mean eventually, sure. Nothing lasts forever. But it could conceivably be out there as a hulk for a very VERY long time.

Om du aldrig hört talas om Harry Martinsson så är jag rädd att du är kulturellt efterbliven.

As I said, when taking into account those giant see-through walls the idea this future tech is far beyond our own allowing it to survive for so long is acceptable by science fiction standards.

It's the nurturing mother figure than abandons the crew when they need her most.

There should be fucking 10 emergency plans exactly because they're in space.
Why would there not be either backup power for engines or maybe escape pods or something like that? Also how were they powering everything else besides the engines?

>when will films stop trying to push a social change agenda?

Fags have existed since the dawn of history user. Ignoring their existence and preventing their inclusion in film would be affecting social change by hiding or distorting reality. Furthermore, tv and film generally document rare or exceptional events or scenarios. Restricting tv or film to only portraying the commonplace or majority would invalidate most media out there.

>its yet another dude space sucks just stay on earth movie
THING IS DIFFICULT SO DON'T DO THING OKAY

You should tell this to NASA, I'm sure it'll give them plenty to think about.

You are also in space. Where are your ten emergency plans?

what are you proposing, exactly? thrusting with electrical power?

>The most depressing sci-fi ever

I have no idea how their engines work. Reroute the power from living quarters. Both probably use nuclear generators or something.
Not having an escape vessel is the real problem.

Your autism is really starting to show now.

>Blindsight is defined by the Oxford Concise Dictionary as "Medicine: a condition in which the sufferer responds to visual stimuli without consciously perceiving them," implicitly referring, of course, to human patients.
> responds to visual stimuli without consciously perceiving them
How.

How could a movie called Analrama be depressing?

No clue, havn't seen Analrama.

use the air in the ship
>MIMA Calculate when we should purge air to correct our course

You do realise that I'm not the same user you were talking to before, right?
It's a nitpick anyway, I liked the movie.

9 lifeboats with beacons, 1 orgy

Ignoring the premise of the situation doesn't do much for your plan user.

that's not how moving around in space works. you need a propellant, right? so you can't just turn stored power in to thrust, you need some kind of mass to propel, ideally at an extremely high relative velocity. how are you going to do that?

>use the air in the ship
I mean, maybe. You'd have to rig up something pretty wild to not just go in to a spin. And probably not enough there for more than a small course correction, so you'd have to get lucky. The ship is fuckhuge, this isn't an apollo capsule we're talking about. And these also (mostly) aren't genius save-the-day heroes we're talking about either. Just regular humans.

No idea. They also had the ability to literally manipulate gravity as seen when they used some kind of gravitational beams to capture the spear. Not sure if that could help somehow though.

it's a documented thing, and not actually that unusual. your body actually does a fuckton of things responding to stimuli every day that don't require your conscious input. And of course lower forms of life are not (probably) conscious but respond to stimuli in all kinds of complicated ways.

In addition to being a thing, it's the name of a scifi book. The author built off research in to pre-cognitive processes. There's a bunch of experiments starting in the 70's with mapping nerves that seem to suggest when you, say, decide to lift your hand, the frontal cortex process that makes the decision fires *after* the signal to lift the hand has already left your brain. and experiments of victims of brain damage with these sort of disconnects where they can do things without realizing they are doing them. The implication is that consciousness is some kind of "side effect" of cognitive processes, and maybe not necessary to their core function.

So, the author of said book takes that idea and runs with it. Story focuses on the existence of aliens that are hyper intelligent but not self-aware, and how (if at all) humans could interact with such a species.

Attached: blindsight.jpg (278x420, 34K)

The fact they didn't science the shit out of it, is indeed a detriment to the film.

Sure but visual stimuli specifically is what throws me off. Very interesting concept though, may give this a read.

like why did they use that as the name? it's kind of a theme that runs through the book with being in deep space, and it's dark, and things you can see and things you can't, or can see but can't understand, etc. the author's a biologist so he's got a lot of fun little tidbits in there about like saccades in your eyes, how optics work, evolution of species in lightless environments and stuff like that.

No I meant in the condition. I know unconciously reacting to stimuli happens every day for most people but for that stimuli to be visual and for a person to consistently react to it despite not consciously perceiving it is hard to comprehend. I'm sure i've done it before but the consistency of it is scary to consider.

This book is actually online in its entirety, should you like a preview
rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm

The internet is a wondrous thing.

apparently there was some guy who had a head injury that had rendered him "blind", but he could still catch a thrown object. implication being that process "see ball - raise hand - catch ball" doesn't involve the conscious mind at all. lot of weird implications.

plus there's a fair amount of fun speculative sci fi / fantasy in there, like this bit:
>Theseus' fabrication plant could build everything from cutlery to cockpits. Give it a big enough matter stockpile and it could have even been built another Theseus, albeit in many small pieces and over a very long time. Some wondered if it could build another crew as well, although we'd all been assured that was impossible. Not even these machines had fine enough fingers to reconstruct a few trillion synapses in the space of a human skull. Not yet, anyway.
>I believed it. They would never have shipped us out fully-assembled if there'd been a cheaper alternative.

Is this any good? Preview looked bizarre

Why are people pretending this movie is deeper than it is?
Are there swedes here?

You're a "sci-fi fan" and your focus is on the production value of the film?

I mean at this very moment you probably know about Antarctica and amazon river through second hand experience and are quite fine with it. It's not that dramatic or tragic of a notion to only know about things through tales

>fastforwarding a movie, even one you’re not enjoying

You think so? It's a bit of a conceit but I think it weaves pretty well in to the theme. Plus I don't really see how the payoff works without it.

I thought it might have been a kinetic missile sent to put them out of their misery.

The astronomer/doomsayer states it wasn't meant for them, whatever it is. I trust her judgement.

What if it was supplies and she'd decided they didn't deserve to live to complete their mission?

They should have tried drilling a hole in one spot to break through the outer shell (presuming that the entire thing is not just made of that metal)

I doubt this mainly because she was also excited/happy at the prospect of turning the ship around. She cleaned herself up and was even wearing make-up for the event of pulling the spear in to the Aniara. If she did have a change of heart for some reason, I didn't see any clue for it.
I would have, but I guess her judgement of the object was enough to convince the survivors it wasn't anything for them.
And thinking about it, if it was filled with something there is no way of knowing that is isn't deadly to just drill into the thing. It might just explode.

At that point exploding isn't the worst option. Who would want to live like that.

It's hard to imagine but the people still alive were choosing to stay alive. Suicide had been an option for years. They wanted to live, even if it was in their own tomb. I assume eventually depression and lack of people prevented the continued sustaining of the crew, around the 24 year mark. But you have to keep in mind the spear had arrived over a decade before that.

I wanted to see what happened after the general populace realized that the spear is not going to help them like the captain said. People would crash hard after getting their hopes up. I would imagine mass suicides or attempts to overthrow the captain.

The jump to year 10 and what it looks like seems to imply most of the survivors shut down and where just going through the motions of life. Maybe suicide was too much work for them.

hello? based department?

I'm surprised that didn't happen after the swing around the planet thing

This. The ones left at that point are those that are straight up not wired for suicide.

>April 1, 5467892
>"haha, I got you good you fuckers!"

that doesn't hold

The premise being films have conflict. The fact a story with science in it has characters who go through hard times has little to do with the science itself and more to do with the general nature of storytelling.

the premise doesn't hold. Most films have conflict, but that conflict's cause is hugely varied. In films that feature science and science-fiction, overwhelmingly the cause of conflict is progress itself. Every space mission is doomed, every AI goes rogue, every genetic experiment creates a monster, every alien is hostile. Filmmakers are sciencephobic.

Ah I thought that might be your perspective but I wasn't sure. In that case I say you jumped the gun. The calamity that befell the crew of the Aniara was not due to a failure of science but rather astronomically poor odds. And were it not for science and the technology it created they would have died immediately. Science gave them food, air, and shelter. These are positives.

Now if you mean to argue that science was the one that put them in the situation in the first place i'd say you are ignoring the allegorical nature of the film. In that the Aniara is meant to be related to Earth as a situation. But beyond that I think you are also being a bit hyperbolic. If science does cause something bad to happen in a story it is usually also science that fixes the problem. Aniara just happens to bring up a "problem" that has no attainable fix, science or not.

>In that case I say you jumped the gun
you mean the gun belonging to anton chekhov?
the gun made specifically for anton chekhov?
anton chekhov's gun?

(science is the gun)

Like I said I think you're being a bit hyperbolic. All I know is I am glad this thread lasted as long as it did. Even if it was only a handful of users that kept it alive. This film deserves more credit.

High Life was one of the worst, best looking movies I’ve ever seen.

How did Mima function scientifically?

Basically a computer that can generate 'dreams' for you in your mind. A more primitive version of a holodeck.

It's far beyond my knowledge. Even basic AI are things I do not fully understand on a scientific level.
The fact it could even want to destroy itself means it must have some level of agency which would put it into TAI range. Why they programmed it to have that kind of freedom I have no idea, maybe it was required for it to function. At the very least it is by far the most interesting aspect of MIMA. A suicidal machine is somehow kind of frightening.

Never heard of it. Sell me on it.

>Imagine you are a machine.

>Yes, I know. But imagine you're a different kind of machine, one built from metal and plastic and designed not by blind, haphazard natural selection but by engineers and astrophysicists with their eyes fixed firmly on specific goals. Imagine that your purpose is not to replicate, or even to survive, but to gather information.

>I can imagine that easily. It is in fact a much simpler impersonation than the kind I'm usually called on to perform.

>I coast through the abyss on the colder side of Neptune's orbit. Most of the time I exist only as an absence, to any observer on the visible spectrum: a moving, asymmetrical silhouette blocking the stars. But occasionally, during my slow endless spin, I glint with dim hints of reflected starlight. If you catch me in those moments you might infer something of my true nature: a segmented creature with foil skin, bristling with joints and dishes and spindly antennae. Here and there a whisper of accumulated frost clings to a joint or seam, some frozen wisp of gas encountered in Jupiter space perhaps. Elsewhere I carry the microscopic corpses of Earthly bacteria who thrived with carefree abandon on the skins of space stations or the benign lunar surface—but who had gone to crystal at only half my present distance from the sun. Now, a breath away from Absolute Zero, they might shatter at a photon's touch.

man this is great

Oh, 100 percent. But the poster I was responding to up above was as well saying the moral of the film was "space is bad. stay home." This flick was a bit deeper than that, to put it mildly.

>every ai goes rogue

You can thank 2001 for that, as before that film all AI's were obedient.

It's relatively new. Basically a space cruise ship from earth to mars has an engine fire and ends up adrift. Crew and passengers have to fight to survive. Basically the Poseidon Adventure, only in space. Or anyhow that's what the American remake will be. This is the original foreign film though, so it's exactly like that only longer and more depressing with less music.

Hard sci-fi that focuses on existential horror and themes of doom.
I agree, considering the nature of "home" in this context.

AHAHAHAH PIC RELATED HAS ALREADY RUINED ANIARA FOR ME

This show has been brought up a few times now, what is the connection?

Its the exact same premise. A cruise-space-ship's trajectory gets fucked by gravity wells and is uncontrolable. Looks the same, except this shit tried to make it comedic. Its trash. So will be Aniara.

Seems a bit harsh. I can see how the general premise could be taken either way.

This looks cool.
Is it on Hulu or Netflix?

A quick search says it is on Hulu.

>ship's trajectory gets fucked by gravity wells
I know it's a comedy, so probably fairly mindless, but that sentence is barely coherent. That's like saying "the cruise ship sank because of water".

Fucking love that bit
>Burns-Caufield sings as we glide past.
>Not to us; it ignores our passage as it ignored our approach. It sings to someone else entirely. Perhaps we'll meet that audience some day. Perhaps they're waiting in the desolate wastelands ahead of us. Mission Control flips us onto our backs, keeps us fixed on target past any realistic hope of acquisition. They send last-ditch instructions, squeeze our fading signals for every last bit among the static. I can sense their frustration, their reluctance to let us go; once or twice, we're even asked if some judicious mix of thrust and gravity might let us linger here a bit longer.

>But deceleration is for pansies. We're headed for the stars.

>Bye, Burnsie. Bye, Mission Control. Bye, Sol.

>See you at heat death.

I have only seen the trailer, which looked a bit rough. That poster is extremely uncomfortable to look at though, high marks for that.

oh shit, I didn't even realise it's where the life in space camps pasta comes from
I've seen it often enough that I should have been curious and read the book already, wierd

do it then coward

Because the kikes need you to vote for lefty politics.

Cool. Will look on RarBG, thanks.

>Inside each of us, infinitesimal lacerations were turning our cells to mush. Plasma membranes sprang countless leaks. Overwhelmed repair enzymes clung desperately to shredded genes and barely delayed the inevitable. Anxious to avoid the rush, patches of my intestinal lining began flaking away before the rest of the body had a chance to die.

>By the time we docked with Theseus both Michelle and I were feeling nauseous. (The rest of the Gang, oddly, was not; I had no idea how that was possible.) The others would be presenting the same symptoms within minutes. Without intervention we would all be vomiting our guts out for the following two days. Then the body would pretend to recover; for perhaps a week we would feel no pain and have no future. We would walk and talk and move like any living thing, and perhaps convince ourselves that we were immortal after all.

>Then we would collapse into ourselves, rotted from the inside out. We would bleed from our eyes and mouths and assholes, and if any God was merciful we would die before splitting open like rotten fruit.
I'm going to go ahead and say the Blindsight movie would be worse
