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.

More focus on the arctic journey and Augustine's past & relationship with Iris would have been been way more interesting than spending half the film (and I guess most of the budget) flying a spaceship through asteroid belts and hitting every possible scientific inaccuracy along the way.

I postponed watching this movie for a long time just because of the extremely negative reviews it got on here. I shouldn't have though. I was expecting the worst but after watching The Midnight Sky I can only conclude I was entertained for almost the entire movie. I agree there are a couple unnecessary scenes but overal the rest wasn't bad at all. Okay it's not George Clooney's best movie but it's watchable. The movie got nominated at the Oscars for Best Achievement in Visual Effects. It didn't win, and even though the visual effects were good, there was still better than this one for this year. I can only say you shouldn't pay too much attention to the reviews rating it the lowest possible. Those are from people that watch five to ten movies per year. Take it from somebody that watched thousands of movies, there are uncountable worse movies than this one.

When writing a script, a book or creating any sort of story-telling medium, every scene MUST have a purpose to further develop the plot, characters, or atmosphere.

The beginning of the movie starts well-enough. The pacing of the movie, atmosphere and the beginning of the plot is set. You fully understand what is happening and have a general idea of what challenges the protagonist might face. However, after about 30 minutes, the movie slows down. A lot.

Each and every scene thereafter is meaningless to the viewer and useless to the film director. Every challenge the characters face is short-term and has nothing to do with the overall story (oh no, I lost my luggage!) It is only until the last 12 MINUTES of the movie, does the story advance albeit very little.

After sitting through the movie for an hour and a half, I was debating on looking for another movie, but I stuck with it. If not for me, then for my readers.

Pass on this movie. It's not science fiction, but more of a B grade movie with great sci-fi visuals. I enjoy slow-paced science fiction (Interstellar, Gravity), but this is not slow-paced. It's no-paced.

Those that say this movie didn't have a point, completely missed the point. Life, choices, relationships, and death are human experiences, and somewhere along the way we learn, know beauty, love, and catastrophe, make difficult choices, and question our purpose. Enjoy it for what it is.

I don't understand why people are giving this film such bad ratings, I really enjoyed the whole thing.

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.

It seems that many of the viewers are the wrong one's. For once this is a no bumbum lazer tju bang story. This one is about human relation. One persons journey inwards. It has a deep psychological story. Very calmly told. Silence being a big part. It reminds me of "all is lost" (Robert Red.) although not reaching the same fantastic level it is still very good. As far from "deep impact " and many other idiotic action movies as you can get.

Dont understand why there are so many negative comments, sure there are some flaws and unbelievable scenes but overall the movie has great drama and provide admirable insight about us ... humans

It never ceases to amaze me what people will give one-star and ten-star reviews to. THE MIDNIGHT SKY deserves neither.

Outstanding production values boost adequate performances and a fair script featuring two distinct storylines that slowly converge, and they do so in a way that makes enough sense to be watchable. That said, odd subplots and the occasional flight of fancy lend an absurdist air to an already disturbing story.

Complaints in IMDb reviews primarily target pacing and bad science. Yes, this film has a slower pace, but it's entertaining enough if your attention span can withstand more than a music video. My scientific education is in health sciences/surgery, so I'm no expert on space or the environment; however, nothing in this movie stretched me beyond my willingness to suspend disbelief.

Thematically, THE MIDNIGHT SKY is reflective of the dismal year that is 2020. As we suffer through quarantines, lockdowns, and legitimate worries about the viability of our immediate future, we can see ourselves easily in the characters, all of whom, at some level, experience alienation, pervasive regret, and a sense of creeping dread.

As movies go, this one isn't particularly uplifting, so if a happy ending is a must for you, think about looking elsewhere. The filmmakers do offer a scintilla of hope for those who really need it to get through the night. But not really. The extinction event that pessimistic determinists or fatalist thinkers see as humanity's inevitable destiny. As the credits roll over a mundane vignette, we know our species is dead, and we're simply waiting for a few stragglers to catch up.

Current events have led even the best of us to nurse the occasional defeatist sentiment, so THE MIDNIGHT SKY could be a tough watch for some. Otherwise, it's a decent, if imperfect, effort.

This is a drama first, set in a sci-fi scene. Not an action sci-fi!! That's what a lot of people screaming "BAD MOVIE" or "BORING" fail to keep in mind.

So keeping that in mind. This was a good movie. So if you're looking for something different this is definitely worth a watch.

The Midnight Sky keeps you hooked by raising a lot of questions. It reveals little of what is actually happening and let's you wonder. The cast's performance therefore feels more natural and doesn't force any unnecessary "gibberish". I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the actors. All of them sold it very well. Sometimes managing to create a distinctive personage in just a few scenes.

The only downside is the action. Mostly the one that happens on the ground. The one that happens in space is actually pretty ok.

And it's a winner for the vfx department!

To recap. A well made drama. An intriguing scenario. Good actors. Sometimes lacking in the action scenes. And some tasty eye candy for a sci-fi passionate.



Definitely a good movie night.

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.

Did I just watch the same film all these commenters saw? Where they saw tedium, I saw minimalism. Where they saw a lame plot, I saw an elegy. Yes, it is slow but every moment meant something. Yes, there are holes in the plot but they don't affect the overall narrative. I couldn't help but think of one of my favorite films, Signs. Clooney is Gibson and young Iris nearly looks identical to the young girl in Signs. But long story short, if you like Sci-Fi and contemplate how it all will end.

Seriously I am surprised Netflix would produce something so terrible. So many holes in the plot and nothing is explained properly. What a waste of 2.5 hours of my time!

It felt like over 3 hours - and that's me fast-forwarding the uselessly long 15 min outdoor repair/karaoke scene as well as some other long pointless scenes. Someone forgot to hire an editor to at least chop this down to 80-90 min max runtime. This film was based on a novel - was it as slow and boring as this film? It could've been much better with some "Hollywood" added into the writing whilst cutting down/out some of the long dragged out and useless scenes. And the screenplay needed to be tighter and lean more towards one genre; if you separated the "arctic adventure" from the "sci-fi", you may have had two much better short films. Combined, it was a lot of filler, with very little substance. Don't get me started on the very predictable and cliched writing-in of the absolutely adorable Caoilinn Springall as Iris in her first ever role. The awesome score also needed to be toned down, as it was too constant and overbearing - something you'd expect in a B-grade film. The S/VFX, set visuals and cinematography were absolutely stunning. The casting was excellent, but their talents were wasted in this poor story-telling that really didn't require much acting talent. Sadly, it's a very generous 6/10 from me, all going towards the visuals and effects.

So if you're looking for sci-fi, it's not really a sci-fi. It's a drama. A good one. I see some comments saying 'what's the point' of this story. I assure you there is a point, if you just think about it for a bit. First of all, and obviously, it's about raising awareness about ecology and future of humanity. Secondly, it's about seizing the moment, some people are right now giving away their whole lives to fight for something that other people don't even value - physicists, biologists, ecologists, etc. - people who are gaining the knowledge on how we can survive and thrive not only as individuals, but as humanity as a whole. These people who do not devote their whole life for consumption, rather devote themselves to creating and making new things, discovering new things. These are the people we should listen to and follow. While most of people rather care about hatered, looking for someone to blame for some silly material stuff that doesn't really matter. I see this movie is not really a sci-fi I was hoping to see, still it was a good watch and it provokes thoughs people need to have the sooner the better.

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.
