I've got a film for you."That was the recommendation that led me to Aniara. I went in expecting a fun sci-fi flick; what I received instead was a harrowing dose of existential despair that I am still thinking about months later.In this episode of The Acceptable Losses, we take a departure from our usual game-based topics to discuss a film that embodies the ultimate grimdark reality. It starts with a routine voyage: a luxury vessel carrying colonists from a ruined Earth to Mars. It was supposed to be a three-week trip, complete with shopping malls, gyms, and swimming pools.But when a piece of space debris forces an emergency ejection of fuel, the Aniara is set adrift, and a three-week cruise turns into a voyage into the void that none of the passengers are prepared for.
