It's hard to know what this movie is about or what it tried to accomplish. Most of the time you just don't have any idea of what is going on or where the story is going.
After so many great movies like Interestellar, The Martian and others, it's incredible to understand why movie studios won't hire a physicist to advise them on the science portion of the movie. Very disappointing.
I mean, it looks great, filmed great, the actors are good but the story... dear god.. what was the point... it literally goes absolutely nowhere.
I've seen The Midnight Sky in pre release in Theater.
The movie is a combination of Clooney's appearance in Gravity (2013), as is resembles the remote isolation in (any) space. And the movie has some similarities with Interstellar (2014), as it plays with moments in time of a sort of endangered world.
However, in terms of quality The Midnight Sky is not even close to the movies mentioned above.
Watch this movie on Netflix at 11pm or later if you dont have anything to do. Or go to the theater when you love watching movies alone on the big screen!
A struggle to sit through this tedious behemoth of a movie.Nothing really happens and you feel ripped off at the end.Visually engaging space shots. That's it.
What was that?
Just a mess of disparite scenes stitched together with little or no narrative. The movie doesn't know what it is trying to be and therefore ends up being nothing new or interesting.
I saw this in a cinema as I was hoping it would be a more immersive experience than waiting for it on Netflix. I have fallen alseep three times in a cinema. This was one of those films.
George Clooney is a good actor and director. Good Night, and Good Luck is one of my favourite films. This was just a disaster.
