en.wikipedia.org Cargo (2017 film) - Wikipedia

The film stars Martin Freeman, Simone Landers, Anthony Hayes, David Gulpilil, Susie Porter, and Caren Pistorius.[3] It follows a couple and their baby travelling in remote Australia amid a deadly disease outbreak.

A decent film, I enjoyed it, emotionally i felt connected to the characters, but the scenario and logic was fairly low. 4/10, worth watching on a slow afternoon.

The atmosphere was good, the cinematography looked nice.

Thank you for posting. Been thinking of adding similar threads myself but always end up getting distracted with something else. Will take your lead and see how it goes with my next movie.
I considered this movie when it came out but with so much amazing content and mid-reviews I ended up passing on it at the time.

The short film it was based on (link below) was a lot more concise and powerful, in my opinion. I liked some of the world building in the 2017 film like the suicide kits distributed by the government, but to me it ultimately felt like a short story that went on too long after having seen the original.

- I see what you mean. That short is very good. Direct and too the point. No frame wasted.

I felt sad at the end, but didn't really have much to think about after the film. There were some really terrible non-logical plot choices that had me mentally screaming at the screen....
