I liked the cast interactions when they weren't struggling with the shoddier parts (as in 95% of it) of the story. I really wasn't sure what the motivation for anyone was other than the mom who wanted to see her daughter... that she blew out and left on earth five years ago, but hey, take what the script gives you. I guess the director came in every day with "Okay this is where you are at on your crazy level today."
And what was with the life countdown clocks? 91 percent then 55 percent. The computer knows when each is going to die? The ridiculous escape pod scene with the computer counting down how long to station collapse. Of course it reaches 1 and then, whew, the door closes and it's all better now. Golly instafix by plot armor is awsome!
I guess Netflix bought this one so when they show one of their crappy home made movies they can always point at this one and say. "Hey it's not as bad as 3022 is it?"
Seriously do yourself a favor and pass this one up. Even if you are the last person on half a space station with your girlfriend on the other half.

Good cast. Bad everything else. Avoid it.
Not as bad as expected
I wasn't expecting much from 3022, a low budget sci-fi thriller set entirely on a spaceship in the deep reaches of outer space, but it's not too poor and certainly better than I was expecting. Omar Epps leads a crew who discover they are the only survivors of mankind in the whole universe, but they're soon affected by all manner of psychological problems and breakdowns. It's an ALIEN type film but with a more realistic flavour that doesn't resort to simple man-in-a-monster-suit antics. The film is hardly amazing but isn't not too bad as a time waster, and the cast are certainly committed.
Time to let go
First off, the film takes place in the year 2190 and never 3022. Plot Spoiler 3022 refers to the number of days John Laine was captain of the ship Pangea. I found it confusing. The entire film takes place on a four-person refueling station located between Earth and Europa One. John is having mental issues after being out there for five years or the ten-year assignment. The medical officer recommends he return to Earth, killing everyone's career. Then something happens. Comet? They lose all contact with Earth and the ship has mechanical issues too.
All happening inside the ship, occasional spacesuit jump. People bicker back and forth until the numbers are crunched when they realize how much longer they could survive with fewer people.
I liked "ARQ" more. This science fiction was too much character-based and not enough sci-fi plot. It was how do you come to terms with being the last people alive with not much time to live? "Aniara" had better characters and at least more of them.
