Earth is in civil war with an unnamed enemy. Six soldier are picked to carry a canister with unknown contents to a restricted government facility across a massive frozen archipelago— on skates. They believe the contents of this canister will end the war.
One of these soldiers is a woman who had her daughter ripped away from her as they were fleeing in a car going through a tunnel. Cars piled up, shots fired. Scary scene.
Now, the film is dark, and shot darkly on purpose. The premise is dark. Earth is in big trouble and may not make it. And yet, people are still shooting each other. Go figure.
And then you see six soldiers gracefully gliding along these frozen lakes and trails, sometimes stopping to look down at frozen corpses under the water.
Macabre, but something silently beautiful in those strong-legged glides and twists and turns.
This was not a bad movie. After I got into it, it was gripping. A mother’s love for her child. Lies from those in command. And the canister? It will end the war all right.
