In the zombie genre, as exploited as it is overused, we have found all kinds of things, on the other hand, Cargo tries to bring a sentimental story to the scene with a unique touch that focuses mainly on the will of a man and his sacrifice to move forward in an apocalyptic world. Set in Australia, it follows the story of a couple who end up getting infected by the plague, but not before doing everything they can to save their daughter.
Cargo is also special because it comes from a famous 7-minute short film released in 2013. While the short manages to pack quite a bit of power into its short length, the film expands upon these concepts and introduces new dynamics and ideas. Unfortunately, I feel that these were not fully explored or narrated in a tactile enough way to fully encapsulate us within the story, that coupled with brief appearances from multiple characters that don't end up giving more substance. Despite that, the film has a nice touch and a solid foundation that accompanies an emotional cinematography through a story of emotional and moral clashes.
While I don't consider it one of my favorites, it is solid and entertaining in some ways.
