The coded directives that follow the nuclear flashes constitute what Althusser called an “interpellation”: the crew are hailed as Americans or Russians first, scientists second. Each astronaut’s professional ethos collapses under the demand to choose a side, illustrating Orwell’s claim that nationalism subordinates moral universals to partisan loyalty #ISS #ISSMovie https://boxd.it/aghg97
A ★★★½ review of I.S.S. (2023)

Borders in Zero Gravity Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s 2024 space thriller "I.S.S." dramatizes a near-future nuclear conflict that transforms the International Space Station from a symbol of cooperation into a battleground of competing national commands. While Cold-War thrillers traditionally reinforce national loyalties, "I.S.S." reverses the pattern: it renders nationalism itself the principal threat. The six-person crew—three Americans, three Russians—receive simultaneous orders to seize the station “by any means necessary,” triggering a Hobbesian scramble for sovereignty where no borders formally exist. The ensuing violence invites a reading of the nation-state as an ideological construct sustained by myth rather than material necessity. George Orwell

'I.S.S.' is an inconsistent space-set drama that doesn't live up to its potential. #ArianaDeBose, #ChrisMessina, #CostaRonin, #ISSMovie, #JohnGallagherJr, #MariaMashkova, #PilouAsbaek

I was particularly impressed with #ArianaDeBose. I don't know how well this film is going to do, but I hope that the right people see her in this, as she shows why she deserves to be cast in more projects. And the film also shows how inclusion can be so easily done, though I expect some people will be triggered as well. Their problem. #ISSMovie 2/2

I was interested in #ISSMovie as soon as I saw the trailer because I thought it was an interesting premise. What happens when you're on the International Space Station and your respective countries go to war with each other? I was hoping it wasn't just going to be a good premise that just goes wasted.

It definitely wasn't. I liked this movie a lot. It's incredibly tense and suspenseful, and there are no easy answers. I think they did a terrific job all around. 1/2
