Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Kevin Harley

The International Space Station becomes a microcosm for global tensions in this clumsy sci-fi thriller. Ariana DeBose plays a scientist who, on arrival at the ISS, is met with camaraderie from her five crewmates. Everything changes when nuclear war breaks out back home, and the Russian and American teams onboard receive mirroring orders to "take control" of the station. Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite initially creates a contained atmosphere of throbbing tension, with plenty of symbolic foreshadowing. The zero-gravity elements impress, too, and there are engaging performances from DeBose, Masha Mashkova, and Pilou Asbk. However, the thudding metaphors are unnecessary, and the escalation into paranoia and betrayal feels too sudden, making this a film that's stronger on the narrative lift-off than the melodramatic landing.
