Average Space Set Thriller - I.S.S. review by GI
A space set thriller that is watchable but hinges on a somewhat ridiculous premise. A few years in the future the International Space Station crew of three Russians and three Americans, all scientists, have their harmonious existence on board carrying out experiments thrown into disarray when a major nuclear war erupts back home between their two countries. The crew can only watch in horror as the blue/green Earth turns into a fiery red nuclear holocaust landscape. The tensions begin when both sides are instructed to take control of the station by any means. In other words science out, politics in. This is where the film is a little too unbelievable in that these highly educated and dedicated scientists very quickly change into murderous psychos. There is little attempt at a script where the six of them have to think about their predicament, not least of course going home to a nuclear decimated world; this is never discussed. Overall this is ok and there's some interesting visual delights and some nervous tension but overall it's forgettable.

Very Average Sci-Fi - I.S.S. review by LW
Astronauts witness a nuclear war from the International Space Station and turn on each other with murderous paranoia. This could have said something about the futility of conflict, the transcendence of scientific co-operation, the futility of humanity in the vastness of space or even been a tense thriller. It never really does any of these things, it leans one way, then another, it looks too cheap to thrill but not so cheap as to be embarrassing, a bit of action, a bit of paranoia and there is the usual band of characters so flawed you wonder how they survived training for space. The whole thing is average and non commital. It passes the time but is totally forgettable.
