I.S.S. Movie Review | Ariana DeBose | Chris Messina | Sci-Fi

We have an early review of "I.S.S.," a tense sci-fi thriller that accomplishes a lot on a low budget. The movie takes place on the International Space Station, where three American astronauts and three Russian cosmonauts must figure out how to survive once nuclear war breaks out on Earth below them. Directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite ("Blackfish"), written by Nick Shafir. Starring Ariana DeBose, Chris Messina, John Gallagher Jr., Masha Mashkova, Costa Ronin and Pliou Asbaek. In theaters Friday, Jan. 19.

Respect for Arianna for taking this role.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Such a surprise!

[@MichaelMoorePDX]

Chris Messina is o e of the most underrated actors around. He gets praise from critics, but rarely any award nominations. He's always good, frequently great.

[@niktour352]

I love Chris Messina. Have you seen 28 hotel rooms?

[@langleymneely]

I’ve been a Messina fan since The Mindy Project! He’s so good.

[@MichaelMoorePDX]

​@niktour352 No, I haven't. One of my favorite Messina roles was in Devil's, a surprisingly good little horror film that also featured a great Jenny OHara.

[@commandZee]

I love this type of plot, where the hostile environment of space itself becomes the weapon or threat. _For All Mankind_ has been telling these kind of stories well, but no one has AppleTV so no one's talking about it.

[@Stefarooh]

Thanks guys for the awesome review. Didn't even know this film was coming out but now after having seen your review, watched a trailer of it, I am definitely sold.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Let us know!

[@waynedexter]

Mental note: grade on a curve if it’s a B movie and it comes out in January

[@user-friendly-b6q]

Thank you guys for a positive review and a positive attitude about a movie that opens in January. I love movies that take place in space. Seat reserved in a theatre to see ISS.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Let us know what you think!

[@brianng8350]

This and Civil War are stressing me. Too close to possible real life scenarios. Based on what you both said, I expected at least an 8.

[@chessbwler2480]

I hated the movie…i had zero attachment to the characters…it was shot well…but butcher knives, blow torches, vodka…what bothered me was…this movie seemed to be based on reality and I kept saying huh, what , so they up in the space station getting plastered lol…they have butchers knives to make a sandwich..🤣…i rather john cena starred in it in some kinda fantasy alternate future…then they left you hanging in the end🙁

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Sorry to hear it!

[@Phantoma3]

I'd give it a 5/10. It's a streaming movie not a theater release.

[@Rainbowxpride89]

Had no idea this was coming out. There's been zero marketing for it.

[@devonellesse]

Hi Christie. How about doing a couple of solo shorts every week where you can just talk about your newsletter.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

That is a very good idea!

[@v1deo.hunter.d317]

Cool concept but I don't think they did much with it and it felt very Netflix or Amazon prime original movie with a bunch of TV actors running around

[@crithon]

there were a lot of cold war paranoia films during the 80s. Surprised with this.

[@jmason61]

Damn that's a scary setup... everything is cool until the nukes start going off & they watch it from low space....

[@blackkcinamacritic]

Don't make me nervous I'm really excited😅 Bonamassa concerned cuz this could be a career center for Ariana debose if it tanks badly😢 still can't wait to see it

[@kinghutt79]

Ok, I.S.S., you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention. I'm in!

[@You2be4life]

I saw this last week and thought it was okay. Nothing earth shattering but still entertaining

[@Mister_Rooster]

Saw this movie today, it was pretty good and most people will like it in my opinion. This movie is more of an action drama than a sci-fi flick. The ending of the movie fits perfectly with the plot of the movie

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Glad you saw it!

[@SkolneyVikings]

Solid movie, but that ending was terrible.

[@tinabeckel950]

Just watched I.S.S. and it missed the landing for me, but it was so well acted, very well shot, and the tension was high … it just seemed like it missed its mark by a few degrees. Not terrible. 5/10 for me.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Glad you caught it!

[@BobSullivanAKABuffy]

Loved the tension in this movie. Tight quarters with folks you can't trust! Pretty good audience for a Monday matinee too.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Glad you had fun, Bob!

[@Ali-gb7mf]

I've never seen these actors before....

[@bavakian42.0]

now all we need is some realistic prestige drama about russian and US astronauts on the ISS during the ukraine war

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Probably lots of Ukraine movies being written as we speak.

[@christianh9794]

I love this movie! Idea just so good!!

[@langleymneely]

Thanks for reviewing this! As a sci-fi & Nasa dork I really couldn’t figure out what to think about this? The premise is intriguing but I couldn’t tell how good it might be by the trailer.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Let us know what you think!

[@jeremyslather]

5:21 well actually, in space there is no "up" or "down", so technically you can't sleep upside-down or right-side up, or even standing up. You just sleep.

[@stevelanthripp5567]

Besides 10 Cloverfield ln, John Gallagher Jr was also in Underwater and Belko Experiment. He likes being stucked. Lol

[@Jimvanhise]

I don't know. I don't see the point in why it would matter who is in charge on the International Space Station when Earth is being turned into piles of radioactive rubble. Considering they reveal that the space station is going to fall to Earth I think it is easy to guess that to be saved they all have to put their differences aside and work together!

[@toms5996]

I.S.S. is such a cool thing in itself it can be a magnificent place for all sorts of drama. Thanks for the review.

[@moviemike44]

I love Blackfish and her narrative film Our Friend from a few years ago, so I'm really looking forward to this. I love genre movies.

[@alphacause]

I am so looking forward to this movie! The trailer came out of no where, and I was so intrigued by it. It is rare that you get a film, set in outer space, that actually presents an interesting moral quandary instead of space just being used as a backdrop for spaceship battles, pyrotechnics and lasers.

[@25DoubleDare]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This looks really exciting. I'll be on the look out.

[@skatealex1]

Looking forward to this. Feel like it could be a fun AMC Alist movie.

[@kellybrincks]

I love B movies with a big budget. Since a '90s film vibe

[@yasinradee]

I totally enjoyed this film. I need a part two.

[@Ballbagsaggins]

Oooooo, first I'm hearing about this - sounds great!

[@amandal5545]

I happened to see the trailer this past weekend while watching Anyone But You- which btw I liked your review for that as well! When I heard the Scorpions playing in the trailer I was hooked!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

They use that song in the movie pretty effectively as well!

[@urdaughtersbf]

What a cool concept.

[@BonzoKilbourn]

What exactly defines a B-movie?

[@christianh9794]

Amazing film!!!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Glad you had a good time!

[@bev9708]

Ohhh that sounds like fun!!!

[@HelplessMammal]

I was hoping this would be a good movie to see and is not woke

[@AllInTheGame01]

Will y'all be reviewing Society of the Snow, True Detective S4 & Monsieur Spade?!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We just started True Detective S4 over at our Patreon! Come join us there: patreon.com/bfastallday.

[@AllInTheGame01]

​@@BreakfastAllDay Thanks, Society of the Snow?

[@christophercobb249]

But the most important question: do Ariana DeBose and John Gallagher, Jr. sing any ballads in space? :) They both got their start in Broadway musicals!

[@jasoncarrick5461]

Sounds interesting,

[@ranestorypictures1738]

This looks good.

[@wolflarson71]

Sounds fun.

[@paradisecity0406able]

Really thought the movie was called I.S.I.S

[@Pupeyes]

Usually, when we see astronauts in real life, they tend to look mature like, in their 40s. The crew of the ISS looks young and sexy. I would believe these people have an OF account before I believe they were left in charge of a space station.

[@nevetsny1]

Most of the cast in 40s or late 30s. Nice to have good genes.

[@Pupeyes]

@@nevetsny1, I mean… shit haha

[@ttttypes]

I find the nationalistic pro-war sentiment of the plot so disgusting that I'm gonna have to skip this one. I also am *completely* unconvinced that scientists on the ISS would ever fight each other, especially after having witnessed the absolute idiocy & moral depravity of nuclear war unfurling below them

[@RykComerford]

Antifa is in the house. You're judging the politics of a movie you haven't even seen? Do you boycott all Bond movies because Bond spies for the British Empire?

[@colonelweird]

I often feel the same way about films that function as U.S. propaganda, but I don't see anything like that in the description of this film, or in this review. The movie doesn't seem to be portraying Americans as heroes vs. Russians as villains. And I think it's quite plausible that nationalism could override morals - this movie may well be a critique of such attitudes (though from this review, it sounds like a very basic critique).

[@charleswind8298]

Lost me at “ she’s a lesbian “. Seems to be a rule now in movies that this demographic has to be identified.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Well Ariana DeBose is queer in real life, so it’s nice to see her playing a queer character. Thanks for watching, though.

[@timothybenn313]

it looks dorkyto medoreviewsofbeekeper andboysinthe boat

[@WaitingtoHit]

I'm making a film about the American Space Station. Guess what it's called!

[@tlovehater]

Hmm no idea 🤔, please tell us! Lol.
