Cargo (2009) Grimy Swiss space thriller - protagonist signs on as doctor on a cargo ship carrying construction materials to Station 42 in order to make money to join her sister on the colony world Rhea. Of course nothing is what it seems; not cargo, crew or destination. The first two thirds plays like a German-language rehash of Alien, with lots of creeping with flashlights slowly down oddly-shaped hallways of a dirty dripping half-broken spaceship, and everything is made insanely ominous by continuous booming, clanging and hissing noises. However, it won me over at last by the sophistication of its conception and execution in the last third. Not a great SF film, but it eventually becomes a pretty good one. 7/10
