ISS is a what-if drama set in space, where what if you were aboard the international space station while nuclear war broke out on Earth below.
Gabriela Cowperthwaite takes her best stab at making a mainstream movie but it's clear she has a hard time taking a good premise and getting the most out of every scene and actor in the film. She isn't known for much and this is the first movie I've seen her do. It doesn't help that the writer is also brand new. This certainly reeks of writer-strike writing.
Despite Ariana DeBose being gorgeous and a solid actress, she has little to work with as the writer and director are bringing her down. I know she's more talented than what this movie allowed and in some ways, I feel bad for her.
The worst offender was John Gallagher Jr. who I know has more depth in him from 10 Gloverfield Lane and Hush. Here is kinda of just goes through the motions or perhaps the director didn't allow him a second take. Pilou Asbaek actually doesn't do too bad. He's a solid actor and probably best known as Euron Greyjoy from Game of Thrones.
The movie passed the time, it wasn't good and it wasn't horrible. Result: C.
