  • “I.S.S.” Review

    I.S.S.: Directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. With Ariana DeBose, Chris Messina, John Gallagher Jr., Masha Mashkova. Tensions flare in the near future aboard the International Space Station as a conflict breaks out on Earth. Reeling, the U.S. and Russian astronauts receive orders from the ground: take control of the station by any means necessary.

    If you ever want to show someone what “foreshadowing” is or are in need of some great examples of “Chekhov’s gun”, then buddy have I great news for you, as I think this movie sets up the most dominoes I’ve ever seen in a film in the first act, then hits all of them down in the third. I’m a huge fan of such things, even when there’s a few that the actors involved might as well be turning to the camera and winking, specifically at the point that the main character finds a science experiment all fouled up and asks “oh why would you do this to each other”. We already know there’s a distinct aurora of paranoia and distrust between the two crews, at least we do if you saw any of the trailers, so maybe it would have been better to go in blind instead of knowing exactly what was coming?

    Regardless of how heavy handed they were with the foreshadowing, I absolutely loved the end result of a film that suggested there was an apocalypse happening down below, then proceeded to follow through on that suggestion in an interesting way. The only real negative aspect was their version of zero gravity, which at times felt like they were in a boat that was rocking from side to side and it seemed the characters were swaying when zero-G would likely have them just drifting away. If you can get past the suspected line work though, this is another fine film to add to the “space station in distress” genre.

    Remnant II on Steam

    Remnant II pits survivors of humanity against new deadly creatures and god-like bosses across terrifying worlds. Play solo or co-op with two other friends to explore the depths of the unknown to stop an evil from destroying reality itself.

    My review of this game is overshadowed by the fact that I did not play the single player version of the game at all, so my opinions are shaded by the fact that I had no clue what was going on for most of the levels, had no motivations for my actions in the game, and was greatly confused by many of it’s story elements that showed up in the multiplayer version of the game that I ended up playing with my buddies.

    It’s a great “souls like” looter shooter, which is to say, you better be good at dodging and returning fire from gorgeously crafted bullet sponges that can (and will!) kill you in just one or two hits, causing you to replay the same sections over and over again. Once you figure out any particular opponent’s strategy though, it’s easy money. The shooting and game mechanics are all rock solid, the graphics are pretty ok, but I did struggle mightily with my poor gaming laptop and it’s NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. There was something about the game that would limit it to 5-10 frames per second if I didn’t do a fresh reboot every time I played the game. After a reboot, and playing on 1920×1080 with “potato” quality graphics, I got a solid 30-60 fps, depending on how foggy or sparkly the area was. When it was playing good though, it was a great experience and fun was to be had. Having to jump through all those hoops was a real bummer though.
