I.S.S. (2024)

‘I.S.S.’ is a thriller that gets lost in space (and melodrama). Gabriela Cowperthwaite directs the new science fiction thriller, which begins plausibly, but descends into pulp even as the station threatens to fall.

Opening in theaters on January 19th, ‘I.S.S.’ might be set in the near future, but it seeks to channel some very real and current fears of division in politics and the world in general. Not to mention the spreading notion of conflict around the world. The concept is certainly a compelling, but the film itself takes a wrong turn at one point and boils away the tension it has created like an astronaut exposed to space.
