I.S.S remains engaging as a suspenseful sci-fi thriller & there's much to like despite staying on the surface regarding its character dynamics.
When it comes to small space settings in film, developing an engrossing story takes a bit more effort. Other Tribeca offerings, like You’ll Never Find Me, do this remarkably well. I.S.S. is certainly committed to its premise and excels at building tension; it’s an example of the ways in which suspense and conflict can be developed in the story and between characters.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A team of astronauts, a mixture of Russian and American, gather on the International Space Station , and they’re joined by newcomers — Dr. Kira Foster and Christian Campbell . Things are going swimmingly at first, and everyone seems to be getting along great, though the score suggests that the harmony won’t last for long. And it doesn’t. A day after the final astronauts’ arrival, war breaks out between Russia and the U.S.
The film lays the groundwork fairly well before things go awry. There could have been more done to establish the relationships before getting to the crux of the plot, but Nick Shafir’s script wastes no time in establishing the tension. To that end, the intensity ramps up to 100, and it never lets up, with each action leading to strenuous and stressful circumstances that will leave you feeling on edge regarding what comes next.
While the film excels in driving the conflicts between the characters, they are lacking in development as individuals. The narrative tries to raise the stakes by making Gordon and Weronika a couple, adding to the conflict of one side against the other, but the film doesn’t take enough time to establish who these characters are as people before they’re in the fight of their lives. The more development they had, the deeper and more biting the tension could’ve been.
That said, I.S.S. remains engaging as a sci-fi thriller. And there’s much to like about the rising intensity and conflict, the terrifying premise, and the way in which director Gabriela Cowperthwaite builds suspense. The actors rise to the occasion and do their best with what they’re given, allowing us to believe that they would turn to violence against each other, even if the one of the early drivers of their disputes is less believable.
