There is no momentum without saying relative to what. A train is moving relative to the people not on the train. The earth is moving relative to the sun. But if you are on earth the sun is moving and you are stationary and your viewpoint is not wrong! The reason is, that there is no underlying space we are moving relative to. Maybe this helps: Imagine a train in a train. Driving with the same speed but in the opposite direction. Now from the outside the inner train is not moving at all, but the outer train is. From the inside the inner train is moving and the world around them is. If there is now a portal inside the outer train and the inside train is passing through. What happens. Nothing because the inside train is not moving or it shoots out because it is moving?

I say its B, because if we jump in a portal we fly out of the other one. Now the difference is here the portal is moving and not the person, but in physics we are only interested in the motion of two bodys relative to each other. If you are standing on the train you would see the portal as stationary and the people coming towards it. Because the object/person enters the portal with speed it also comes out with the same speed.

You can find it on the wikipedia page of the film, but if you search for it on the internet you find a ton of sources https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Wilderness_(film)
