Just a good simple thriller that is not over budget and dragged out. This film gets right into the plot and keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entirety, as it follows the group of astronauts at the ISS made up of Russians and Americans who notice what seems to be a war breaking out below, and after receiving a coded message from both countries chaos strikes into the plot. The characters are well casted, for the most part, and the plot twists are great. What was not expected was the humane message that it gave of how important it is as a human race to be there for each other and not let politics get in the way.

Despite all the good to high ratings, I just couldn't do it. There are 15 countries involved with the ISS. Despite the movie's BS it is a joint venture between US, Canada, the EU, Russia, and Japan. There are usually 7 scientists and crew. There are specific protocols and those definitely include potential war breaking out on the planet although it's unlikely any of that is public information. The idea that one of them would agree to kill the other astronauts is insane. Even if they were ordered to, it would be unlikely they would comply. They spend months up there together. As the film shows they know each other from previous stays there. They train together on the ground. It's just implausible. They are trained they have to count on each other, regardless of government affiliation. The boosters that they supposedly have to have the ground fire up is nonsense also. There's definitely controls for all systems up there. Even the food depletion seems improbable because each so brings in supplies. All that is basic hogwash. The script takes way too many liberties. One or two, sure, one every other turn? Not so much. The discussions they have with each other in the light of Putin's current effort to recreate a Tzar-dom or the USSR, and that fear in the premise is about the only saving grace.The idea that human nature is so extremely violatile from the suicide murder attempt, to the scheming to leave while everyone is asleep when he could've killed them in his sleep and left anyway,, etc just a very bleak view of humans as a whole. The acting is pretty good. Even the directing and cinematography are pretty good. But the script sucks, good in concept, terrible in what they ended up with. 1/10.

Why does he feel the need to apologise for assuming that she was in a heterosexual relationship, and why do we does she forgive him for his ‘mistake’? My point? There’s no need to go woke. 😣 Other than that the film is okay. Enough tension and drama to hold you for 95 minutes

To set the record straight, this movie is nowhere near "Woke." It deals with some of the issues covered authoritatively in the movie, "Judgment at Nuremberg" and several others, namely, when and why should you disobey orders, who can you trust, etc. Nothing new here. Just pretty fair entertainment.

This is a “b” movie so surprising it even made theaters.
