I.S.S. brings a high-stakes fight for control of space to Hulu
The 2023 release I.S.S. is now available on Hulu for streaming. The action-packed science fiction movie combines breathtaking action with suspenseful elements and stunning visuals. Based on 169 reviews, the movie received a 61% critics’ score and, based on over 250 verified ratings, a 43% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The official synopsis for the 2023 sci-fi thriller I.S.S. reads, “Tensions flare in the near future aboard the International Space Station as a worldwide conflict breaks out on the Earth. Reeling, the U.S. and Russian astronauts receive orders from the ground: take control of the station by any means necessary.”
In a review published in Variety, Michael Nordine praises the plot of the movie, where an American and a Russian astronaut try to take control of an international space station after a nuclear war breaks out on the earth, and how the incident culminates in a suspenseful ending.
The critics also noted exceptional performances from the cast, particularly by Ariana DeBose as Dr. Kira Foster.
However, critics felt the film’s second half was less effective than its strong opening, saying it didn’t fully deliver on the tension established earlier.
The movie was written by Nick Shaffir. I.S.S. grossed $6.57 million in the United States and Canada and just over $31,000 in international markets.
