After having watched this really good movie, the only observation I would like to add is for the scene at the 24th year. Movie Recaps mentions that "they go back to cultish and mystical thinking". All previous shots of the ship's exterior show a brightly lit space ship. At the beginning of the 24th year, the exterior of the ship is shown as completely dark. A close up of Mimaroben's eyes show that she cannot see. The way she is going on and on about bringing back the light makes me think that the fuzzy light in the room where the people are sitting is only illuminated so that we the viewers can see the people in that room. In other words I believe those people are living in a pitch-black environment.

Agree. Outstanding movie. The dark "sarcophagus" the ship has become in year 24 with the last few starving pathetic dying people is shocking, but outdone in the next scene as the lifeless, 6 million year old ship with its weightless cargo of dust and human bones orbiting a perfect earth-like world is one of the most powerful images I have ever seen in scifi.

[@fulalbatross]

Titanic was expected to take less than a week to reach it's destination, and the amount of luxury and amenities built into that ship is mind-boggling. The original poem was published in 1956, a time when people would be well aware of the concept of luxury on longer trips (Titanic wasn't the only luxury liner, and the concept wasn't exactly abandoned in the 44 years since). And not very aware of the actual dangers and limitations of space travel, seeing as the first human in space was still 5 years away. You can fill any vessel to the brim with safety features alone and nothing else, and there'll always be a way for it to go down regardless. Only design that is guaranteed to not suffer a critical malfunction mid-trip, is a design that never moves in the first place. Simply can't cover every single possible and impossible scenario. Titanic had a whole plethora of new, highly advanced safety features built into it. It would've stayed afloat in almost any circumstance except the one that occurred. It's quite blatantly pointed out in the movie, that that's exactly what happened. The sequence of events was so ridiculously unlikely, that all the safety features had failed to save them. Just like how modern designs generally considered safe, sometimes go down anyway, luxury or not.

Because the communication antenna was damaged? And since the ship is moving off course at max speed, kinda impossible for anyone on Earth or Mars to send cargo or recovery to them. Earth to Mars takes 9 months with our current tech, they only need 3 weeks. So the probe thingy WAS probably the newer tech that can vessel that can reach them, and even that took 6 years.

"All communication systems will be down until we've reached our destination." is said before their departure. That's purely a plot decision, IRL telemetry would be continuously transmitted to either Earth or Mars or both through redundant communication systems, for the exact reason to inform those at "home" if an anomaly would happen. In the accident none of those systems were lost, so Earth would be informed about the dire situation and also about the new course. With that information they would be able to launch a smaller, faster rocket carrying fuel to intercept the drifting spaceship. How long that would take is unclear, but it's sure the opening instructions would be written on the rocket, or better transmitted to the spaceship. The chances of meeting a rocket (or anything) in space is near zero, thus the only reasonable explanation is that the "spear" is this rocket, but it's rather unexplainable why there's not a single mark on it saying "open here". If the "spear" originates from a different source, that would be E.T. topic, which wouldn't fit the film. It's hard to find sense in this part of the plot, but the false hope given by the "spear" was an important phase in the story, albeit one that's not developed to its full potential.

Although depressing, the movie has a very interesting and original premise and presentation. The base material is a (book-length) poem, this can be felt in the film's focus on the emotions rather than the story. The low budget setting of a "hotel flying in space" (very few custom sets) directs the focus from the sci-fi element to the humans' ways of dealing with their unexpected fate. The story itself is built on a necessary, but unrealistic plot hole: the lack of communication with Earth and Mars. "All communication systems will be down until we've reached our destination." is said before the departure, without explanation. That's purely a plot decision, IRL telemetry would be continuously transmitted to Earth and Mars through redundant communication systems, for the exact reason to inform those at "home" if an anomaly would happen. In the accident none of those systems were lost, so Earth/Mars would be informed about the dire situation and also about the new course. With that information they would be able to launch a smaller, faster rocket to intercept the drifting spaceship and resupply the fuel. How long that would take is unclear, but it's sure the opening instructions would be written on the rocket, or transmitted to the spaceship in advance. The chances of meeting a rocket (or anything) in space is near zero, thus the only reasonable explanation is that the "spear" is this rocket, but it's rather unexplainable why there's not a single mark on it saying "open here". If the "spear" originates from a different source, that would be E.T. topic, which wouldn't fit the film. It's hard to find sense in this part of the plot, but the false hope given by the "spear" was an important phase in the story, albeit one that's not developed to its full potential. Earth wouldn't give up on a spaceship this size and thousands of its inhabitants that easily. Neither would a collision avoidance maneuver turn a spaceship almost 90 degrees off course. The ship would be unable to slow down at Mars, but it would pass quite close to it. Depending on the technological advancement and the availability of rockets, a rescue/resupply mission could be achieved in the 23 days until they approach Mars. But that's not the story this film tells.

To anybody still thinking about the spear drone One of the movies points is to point out how ridiculous humans can be. The old lady is basically the movie writers telling us what they think. The spear is not a human probe, and it would have never saved the people in the ship, it was just an extreme coincidence they bumped into it. We try to give it a reason, but in reality the spear has no deep “reasoning”, it just *is*. the Astronomer was always right. Nothing makes sense, everything is just meaningless coincidence. We humans are lost in a world that HAS to make sense to us, but in reality it doesnt. BUT, in the movie, it’s heavily implied that the spear was of alien origin and was heading to either: the habitable planet the ship ends up at the end, or, another habitable planet the spear missed by a hair (it’s mentioned in the movie) This movie has several one-in-a-trillion coincedences happen. First, the Ship getting hit by the screw. A freaking screw that is so small, encountering something like it is ridiculously unlikely. The Spear is an event so unlikely it shouldnt happen, and it doesn’t even occur to the crew or the viewers that they are not part of a plan involving that object. It doesnt matter what it is or where it comes from, its just there to play a cruel and silly joke with Aniara, but that joke was planned by no one and no one is laughing about it. And then at the very end of the movie, just to re force the point, the ship was in course to an earthlike planet the whole time. All that really shows how insignificant and random real life can be, especially somewhere like space, we as a race and as an individual really are not relevant. Basically, the old woman was right!

[@interstellarrock9713]

This movie while a depressing and interesting movie, does throw realism out the window in favor for a plot. Let’s go through some of the more stupid things Not having communication until they reach Mars - it was said early in the movie that the communication would be down until they completed their journey and if I’m correct their communication goes down later in the film anyway. Now I’m no scientist or space engineer, but I’m pretty sure that in any situation with travel, that you would have communication between the ship, the planets, and other spaceships in the area. Right now with out technology, it take around 20 minutes (give or take) for a message to be sent between Earth and Mars, meaning that at any point the ship should have decent communication with the planets even if it takes longer to send and receive messages, and this wouldn’t factor in any other ships flying by. So instead of trying to explain the lack of communication, the movie just says that they can’t communicate from the start, which is dumb. They can’t get rescued by anyone - now this plays into the “no communication” bit, but is there seriously no one keeping track of ships around here. This whole journey is reminiscent of a cruise ship voyage, so I’m pretty sure that in any normal situation you’d have multiple people keeping track of things like this. Also the fact that no passing ships every stop to try and help, since they just don’t appear to exist, which either means that earth is completely void of life and this is the last ship leaving, or it means that all the people responsible for this voyage are heartless monsters who care more about money than human life. Think of the Pr nightmare you’d have because of something like this This is just two things I saw while watching, their probably many more

So... This is a puzzling question. The ship is massive. Its also going really fast. Its clearly not going lightspeed or else the ships matter would warp. I also imagine you can't warp speed around a planet. Convenient Warp tech or not, unless this is star wars, they need a way to slow down. If they don't, they would just smash into mars. The back thrusters would be for acceleration obviously, but they would need front thrusters for deceleration. [They could turn around and decelerate with the back thrusters I suppose.] I would imagine that since the thrusters are so far apart, that each side would have its own fuel storage. [Maybe even backup fuel]. Using the front thrusters they could reorient themselves towards mars or at least to the nearest orbiting body. Seeing as they lost all control of the ship, I'm assuming they only had back thrusters, like fools. Here's another idea. The ship is pretty big right? That ship probably requires a lot of maintenance. Its bound to have drones and small ships that fly outside the ship. If they don't, they could just salvage parts from their massive ship to make more. The idea is that they could attach small ships to the side and use them like tug boats to slowly re-aim the ship on course. [Tugboats are small fisher boats that can pull along cruise ships.] There's no friction or gravity, so pulling the ship shouldn't be too hard. Improvised or backup fuel could be used. Even if they couldn't aim in time, they would just have to play the long game. It would at least be better than floating aimlessly in space. If all else fails, then the game will have to be played over centuries or millenia. Don't they have human embryos in stasis? What about inserting human conscience into ai? They clearly have super intelligent, even conscious ai. They could upload people's minds, even if its just a copy. in a philosophical sense, the human spirit lives on.

so wait, did we ever find out what was the probe sent to Aniara?

Given the trajectory, maybe some rival nation took a pot shot at them shortly after they departed. :p

Imagine if earth was actually the only habitable planet in the entire universe...how scary

[@percycat213]

Great premise for a scifi film, with many different alien species trying to colonize the earth and oppressing humans, almost like a parallel of european colonizers in other continents.
