I just watched High Life two days before I watched this. I think I've seen enough European* Existential Space Movies for one week. But at least the sex scenes aren't nearly as disturbing as High Life.
I did like this one. I wouldn't recommend thinking about the science too much** By the end of it I was feeling claustrophobic, depressed and desperate, but in a good way.
* yes I know High Life is English language, but the director is French. And it feels like it.
** no extra fuel rods in storage or auxiliary rockets? How can they keep the ship powered up for years but have no power to steer the ship? No way to abandon the ship when it went off course? Why does a virtual reality type device have consciousness? Would it really use this consciousness to commit suicide? Why did they have so much algae again, other than as a plot device to explain feeding everyone when the ship sent off course? Wouldn't they run out of booze after about 2 months? Can you ferment algae booze?
