I was thinking the same thing. LOL.Such a-GREAT-movie too. I did 7 yrs in the navy ( served on air-craft carriers ) got to go aboard a submarine for a guided tour ( I was actually considering sub-duty ) but,decided not to after that tour. LOL.
I think it's very accurately rated. Not great, not terrible, above average in general. It's unique in some good ways that make it stand out but boring in others. I love all things space yet found it a bit silly, but I understand why some adore it. But again, as is I think it's rated exactly where it should be.
@@supermario8134 I like Jeremy because his reviews are less a breakdown of the film's aspects one by one and more of him just saying whatever came to his mind after he watched the movie as a list of no particular organized order. It's a very relatable thing as a typical movie goer in regards to hearing things that might stand out at initial glance which will affect enjoyment.
@@bathcat3759Chris obviously dislikes some films. He just doesn't like making negative review videos and has become more mature with age in terms of delivering criticism compared to other critics who built their entire channels out of rants.
Kinda brushed over the film’s ending / third act, eh? Jeremy Jahns mentioned the third act essentially ruined the film, and recommended movie-goers to walk out before the third act, form your own conclusion, and you’d enjoy it more. Would have loved to hear what you thought of its conclusion.
I don't understand how ANYONE can make a movie and consciously ruin the ending, knowing very well that will make everyone hate the whole movie and regret seeing it in the cinema. Just sit down and review the it! Just sit with your crew if you don't have enough brains and ask them what they think about it! Change it! Rewrite so it doesn't suck so badly! Why would you want to ruin people's lives? They paid to go see what you have made! And think about your mother for Christ sake! She will be mentioned so many times if your ending sucks!
@@id104335409"why would you want to ruin people's lives". Okay, calm down with the hyperbolic rhetoric. It's a movie. It's not life altering. I agree that I'd prefer a movie not to have a rubbish third act, but I'd be just mildly disappointed.
What was particularly wrong with the ending? SPOILER WARNING... The only problem I had with it was the fact that I had no idea what they were descending into. Russia? America? etc. But besides that I thought it was fine but I'd love to hear your thoughts
I think the final act, while weaker than the rest of the film, isn't anything different from what many thrillers do, where there's a final conflict. Do I think it makes no sense about the betrayal? Mostly. Do I think it's bad? No. Just average.
I'm surprised Chris has never reviewed/spoken on any of the films by Justin Benson & Aaron Moorehead. They're right up his alley of being weird, thought provoking, sci-fi lower budget projects made by two regular guys who just love making movies and their projects are stuff I usually only even know about because Chris recommends them. I just watched Something In The Dirt and the whole time thought "this seems like something Chris would have recommended"
I think your review is very even handed and thorough. However I want to add that I see it as a story about human nature and how we react under pressure. I think it was quite important the scenes with the mice. The mice at the beginning being so afraid of the weightless become aggressive with each other and bite each other to death. She finds them all bloody and missing parts. (Not that mice in real life behave that way). And at the end two mice that had stayed calm holding on to the mesh were peaceful and okay. I think was used as a symbol for the people. Kinda like saying that the fact of freaking out on paranoid distrust was their undoing and the two who mostly kept calm were able to weather the crisis. However I think that the most important line of the movie is the very last one, too bad it's said quite softly. She radioes NASA that they are going down, they answer that they are willing to welcome any US astronauts (in other words not the Russian guy). She looks at him, he asks her "Where are we going?" And she answers "I don't know"... and it ends with the important question unanswered... Because it is like nowhere will they be welcomed together as friends because the world has become so polarized.
As a NASA engineer this was a painfully hilarious watch. Worse than Gravity for sure. The micro gravity completely took me out of the movie. Everyone looked like they were wearing diapers to hide harnesses. They were so stiff and their centers of gravity completely off. The way they moved was so off. Also so so many technical inaccuracies that drove me up the wall. Specifically the "drill" known as the PTG has almost no torque and is not going to drill into flesh like that.
I dunno. Maybe it's a good movie. I just can't get past the misanthropic premise. The whole world explodes so the last humans alive (who are scientists that are explicitly trained to work together despite national differences) choose to fight to the death over a hunk of metal in space? That's depressing
Yay, Killer Klownz From Outer Space shirt! Now there's a B-movie that knows exactly what it is and has fun with it. And has some surprisingly good practical effects too.
I don't think her not having someone to contact at home wasn't to disconnect us, but to make us wonder what her life was like on earth to end up not having any loved ones left. I also really digged the zero-g camera, as it helped immerse me in the setting.
If you ask me, him not giving criticism and instead giving puff piece reviews, is the biggest middle finger he can give to any filmmaker. It's the equivalent of saying, "I'm not going to help you be a better filmmaker."
I have always wondered what it’s like to be someone that makes a comment like you did and have it be the exact opposite of what happened. He made criticisms throughout the review. He stated the things he didn’t like and why. I’m guessing you want some overly charged, redbull fueled, WWE style interview where he trashes the movie for no good reason. There are probably other channels that do that. Go find them.
I watched this last night. I had a good time. I enjoyed the tension throughout. I’m not one of those people who needs to connect with the main actor. I can go to a movie and watch everything unfold with absolutely no expectations. I didn’t mind the main character being a bit of an emotional recluse. She was actively keeping everyone away and I was totally okay with that. My only complain is that they weren’t consistent with special effects and makeup in that one violent scene. And that it needed to elevate the suspense from the already established status quo. I felt like it needed a little more umph in the end. Other than that it was a very decent movie and it didn’t totally play out like I thought it would. So the movie managed to surprise me here and there.

As interesting to me as Life, except you don't have a Gyllehnaall overplaying like he's sitting on nails. I fell asleep during Life... and was glad it was over after the very predictable ending. For claustrophobic "fun", I recommend 2020's Underwater since it was so underrated in my opinion. For paranoia, nothing comes enven close to John Carpenter's : The Thing. For fair reviews, I get Stuckmannized!
Watch Russian movie The Challenge from last year. It has a pretty good cast and a solid plot but why it's interesting is it was actually filmed on international space station, it is the first movie shot in space. You have real cosmonauts and main actress and director actually went through training and filmed up there.
"Voyage to the Planets" (2004) is my opinion the best space movie. The synopsis, a crew of astronauts aboard an international interplanetary spacecraft Pegasus (ala "Sunshine" (2007)) for mission to Pluto. Along the way, the astronaut visit & conduct exploratory mission on planets & asteroid (ala Star Trek). Some astronaut got what they want for on their mission, some don't, and dies too. Even the ground support crew grow & change as the spacecraft on decade long trajectory.
I went to go see this with a friend yesterday. She’s very picky about the movies that she likes so it was very difficult to find something that I thought both of us would like. And she still wasn’t a big fan of it but I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was pretty cool, and. I obviously cannot say much about the camera work, because as you know, I am totally blind, so there is that aspect.. that said, I thought it was a very gripping tail and one that is extremely cautionary and one that could’ve been avoided if they would’ve just communicated to one another. But then, if everybody was good at communication, we wouldn’t have movies.!
I don't blame your friend. This movie uses every regurgitated trope in the book. Once again, a film about two governments acting like a couple of jackasses on Earth, characters dying pointless deaths and using a tiresome, redundant Cold War trope. I kept thinking about a better plot for the film, and not involving pitting characters against eachother where it ends in paranoia and disaster. I could see the plot execution coming a mile away. This film is an insult to astrophysicists, astronomers, cosmologists and international joint organizations. I don't care how visually impressive, a stunning score or what complex filming techniques was used in this film, a polished turd is still a turd. This reminds me of "The Thing" in terms of self-preservation, tension and paranoia, and irrationality, but without the government intervention. Even the overrated 2001: Space Odyssey had better tension going against a rogue A.I than this uninteresting mess.
Saw it last night. It was OK, I only saw it because I see movies every week without watching trailers, just pick up key words. I love space and end of the world type movies so this was my pick this week. I was a bit bored. And yes, it was very hard to connect with the main character. I felt like she was spark notes on what they wanted her to be like before they put in other details lol. Anyhoo, it was okay. I wouldn't see it again.
You'll get a pass on the issssssssssss, I will personally never stop calling The VVitch "The ViVitch" (and I don't care if it's period correct or not!) Or RE7 as "Resident Evii: Biohazard" per the logo. Or RE8 as "Resident Evil: Viiiage" per the logo.
I don’t know how anyone came into this month being uncertain about whether this movie would be good or not. Obviously it would be enjoyable - some things you just gotta know!
Astronauts are some of the most professional people on earth (pun intended), so the chances for this happening are slim to none. Still going to give it a try.
3:23 - Actor here- usually when a film is made this way its because its "nameless/silent hero" ; so the effect of you putting yourself in this characters place. its like you have no backstory on her, so it doesnt cloud your mind- you think "if I were in their position..." and the movie gets more inclusive
Just saw the news about the 'SNL 1975' movie being done by Jason Reitman with Gabriel LaBelle playing Lorne Michaels. Super pumped! With his past connections to SNL, he'll do a great job. What do you think Chris?
I didn't see the movie, but from these images, the floaty cameraworks could help selling zero G when the production wasn't allowed to have actors on wires. i think its a clever strategy, but might also be tiering to watch the whole movie. I remember Gravity's camerawork was much more stable, but they most likely had a much bigger budget, and it mostly had just one actor on screen, so its easier to build a splecial effects shot, when there's only one 'moving part'.
The thing directors always forget about when filming zero gravity is the hair. The hair on the actors stays flat on their heads when in real zero-G it is floating too. I'd rather they just not do it at all and invent some plot device where there is gravity.
I saw on reddit that this movie script was on the black list for a while. It's surprising to me that a movie so many executives thought highly of would turn out so average it seems. But maybe that should be expected.
The WatchMojo channel has a list of 2024 movies that have buzz that are not sequels. In contrast to the movies that the studios make these days that are low risk.
I enjoyed the movie like 3.5-4/5 stars but the reviews pissed me off. For example, one is complaining about the fact that the lead is a black gay woman, another was that the inside of the ISS was too "realistic" and not interesting enough, another was that astronauts would never kill each other. Like the complaints felt dumb and yours are valid just I feel that this movie is getting trashed by some reviewers for no reason (again, not referencing you just people on Google.)
Just finished watching the movie, and I am actually curious about how this alternate Earth would be after nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia. Especially with the upcoming nuclear winter.
The movie's plot made no sense. 2 countries nuked themselves and also gave orders to those on the space station to take control of it by any means necessary... for what purpose, was never explained.
The kiss of death for any movie is chris stuckmann not smiling

Chris has entered his dad joke phase. This is going to happen for years people…
He's already been saying "Stuckmannized" as a verb for a while now. The dad game was already on point. 😂
Chris grew up with ISS
Same
The concept of high tension among two parties in an enclosed space, over cryptic military orders, immediately makes me think of Crimson Tide.
The plot in 2010 Odyssey 2 has a similar subplot.

My exact thoughts when I saw the trailer....Crimson Tide-in space.
"The majority of people who were in my theater were not astronauts" 🤣
The majority of those in my theater here in Cape Canaveral were astronauts.
I'll give it a watch I still think the sci-fi thriller Sunshine is severely underrated.
I think it’s underrated to the general public, I think. But to folks in ‘the know’ it’s a certified classic.
Minus the botched ending
It is
It's boring meh...why would you give it a watch? Because Chris says so? Haha

Jason X is a great space movie. At least it was different for a Friday the 13th film.
Watch the movie life with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds
I highly recommend this other directors movie Our Friend. Such a beautiful and tender movie.
Astronauts are some of the most professional people on earth (pun intended), so the chances for this happening are slim to none. Still going to give it a try.
The majority of people in my theater were not astronauts- brand new sentence.
In my teen years that stood for 'In-School Suspension'

Confined space, away from home, 2 different factions, ensemble cast, out in space, an outside conflict....makes me think of the movie 2010.

The movie, for me, was very good, especially the story, and the characters were ambiguous and tense between each other! My review of the movie 8/10
Glad they cast Masha Mashkova as one of the Russian astronauts since she did a great job for "For All Mankind".
ISS is such a cool thing as it's real. An excellent setting for a good script. (Is Tom Cruise still set to make a movie there in person?)
A totally acceptable time at the movie theaters is how I've been described by dates.

Chris…do a “top 10 January movies”
The thing directors always forget about when filming zero gravity is the hair. The hair on the actors stays flat on their heads when in real zero-G it is floating too. I'd rather they just not do it at all and invent some plot device where there is gravity.
Chris, “issssss” made me laugh far more than I probably should have
Yep you got that right! When just one look 👀 is all it took!!!!!
The only movie I've seen in theaters this year is Night Swim, so when I see I.S.S. tonight, as long as it's better than that, I will be happy .
It's wayyy better
Leagues better in my opinion
That shirt rules. That movie traumatized me as a child
Ok, so he's going to say every mediocre movie is better than it really is. Got it.
uh oh he’s cracking dad jokes guys
I miss the part when criticism was relevant... Everything is not awesome.
It's why his views took a dive, no point in checking out a critic who won't be critical of films
seems like it is worth checking out at least once
I saw on reddit that this movie script was on the black list for a while. It's surprising to me that a movie so many executives thought highly of would turn out so average it seems. But maybe that should be expected.
The WatchMojo channel has a list of 2024 movies that have buzz that are not sequels. In contrast to the movies that the studios make these days that are low risk.
I enjoyed the movie like 3.5-4/5 stars but the reviews pissed me off. For example, one is complaining about the fact that the lead is a black gay woman, another was that the inside of the ISS was too "realistic" and not interesting enough, another was that astronauts would never kill each other. Like the complaints felt dumb and yours are valid just I feel that this movie is getting trashed by some reviewers for no reason (again, not referencing you just people on Google.)
We appreciate your insights. Keep working hard.
Sounds like Crimson Tide in space. Can’t be near as good when one movie had Hackman and Washington.
The film had a lot of potential with a reliable premise & acting was decent but struggled to know how to conclude itself
Good honest and sensible review. Thank you.
I wish you would start doing your review grades again, like an A, A-, B+, B, etc. it helps me to know what the overall quality is.
This came out this weekend and my local theater was showing Interstellar in imax so it made for a definitely interesting double feature 😂
I saw it last and thought it was fine. Then I saw Origin, really enjoyed that.
Waiting for Shelby Oaks😊
Great Killer Klowns shirt.
I can't get over what an awful title "I.S.S." is. It's just an abbreviation of the structure the set piece is based on
Okay man, you absolutely gotta give us your opinion on the Indians Jones game trailer and how it’s looking for you
Love the Killer Klowns From Outer Space shirt
A movie about in-school suspension. Intriguing 😂
Dude!!! When are we going to see a trailer drop for your movie???
I totally enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to a part two.
Just finished watching the movie, and I am actually curious about how this alternate Earth would be after nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia. Especially with the upcoming nuclear winter.

@@spartan120_3 Duh, after WWIII, some guy makes a primitive warp ship and we meet Vulcans! I thought everybody knew that!
Thank You for the Review and Video 😀
Interstellar was EVERYTHING!!👍🏽👍🏽
…bad about movies.
You could say the majority of people on that theater were..... astronot
Love your shirt. Killer Klowns is my favorite 80s horror movie ❤️🤡
It had the worst dialogue I’ve seen in a movie in a really long time.
I've been waiting your thoughts on The Society of the Snow, amazing film you should watch it if you got a chance!
I'm just excited to watch Ariana after her knockout performance in WSS
Can't wait to see her in RSS
“The Challenge” 2023, to see actors in the real ISS 👍🏻
Diggin' the shirt!
The movie's plot made no sense. 2 countries nuked themselves and also gave orders to those on the space station to take control of it by any means necessary... for what purpose, was never explained.
If you are nuked how is that an advantage?
Sounds like they took the subplot from "2010: The year we make contact," but made a whole movie out of it.
I didn't know anything about this film but tbh it sounds interesting
Hi Chris can I ask how do you choose the films you review?
I'm proud of myself every time I managed to stop the video before the catch phrase. :)
This movie looks moronic- the Earth is destroyed and they are STILL fighting on orbit?? wtf???
Well let’s be honest that’s something humanity would do
I mean we literally started a war over a football match
