Great acting. Visually stunning. Interesting storyline. Boring as fock good lord. Literally couldn’t care less about any of the characters. Found myself fast forwarding multiple times through the most unwatchable boring scenes. And I love this genre of sci-fi.

I’m truly sorry to see this film receive so many negative reviews—I’m very surprised. To me, it was a wonderful masterpiece. The performances were subtle, never overacted, and the finale was beautiful. Sadly, many people can’t grasp the depth of its spirituality and emotional richness. This film excelled in both. Thank you to George Clooney for gifting us this cinematic pearl.

Long and drawn out. Decent story line. But the worst part was the little girl in the movie. Nothing wrong with her or her acting. But she was a figment of his imagination or possibly delusional thoughts. Like when Clooney was with the guy in the plane. It showed the girl outside the plane and nowhere near Clooney. It showed her walking around and reacting to the dead pilot. They gave that character life by showing her away from the other actor. They showed her having reactions to visual stimulus that she would have never saw because she's actually not really there. Then they "reveal" she's just a delusion. Sorry, not buying it. Clooney falls through the ice in a blizzard and yet survived? He'd really been dead in like 10 minutes.

A solid story with a subtle twist that felt natural yet a bit inevitable. Clooney put on a great performance! The pacing was great and the cinematography was appropriately enhancing.

This film had an intriguing premise with plenty of potential but ultimately fell flat. The performances were decent, but the execution lacked impact and left enough space for me to lose interest. The plot felt disorganized and at times confusing, with sluggish pacing and overly drawn-out dialogue that left the story feeling hollow. It often seemed like two separate films awkwardly merged, resulting in a disjointed narrative. I really enjoy George Clooney, but even he couldn’t make this a worthwhile watch.

The film lacked proper character building. You follow two different storylines that drag on their sluggishly slow path to nowhere.

Well paced, thoughtful and absorbing movie. Very much underated. Clooney puts in a great performance.

Not for me, I found it to be quite boring. I wish they would expand the story in the opening scenes, where I believe they were on K-23. Pretty much the whole movie is set on the spaceship and a few scenes on the Arctic.

Definitely not as exciting, meaningful or fun as I expected, but not terrible. The first half is one setting, the second half is another, and then we sit through a drawn out 30 minute ending that’s supposed to be meaningful and emotional- but it’s just not. The characters, their relationships with eachother, and the overall background storyline were never developed so you just don’t care. What could have been powerful is just boring.

Enjoyed the somber and slow story. Don't always need to see action-packed, uplifting movies. Not every part needs an explanation, The movie worked.

It was a slow burner and gripping and sad. Watched with my son and we both ended up in tears at humanity's stupidity and loss.

2 stars is about right based on reality. *SPOILERS* ahead. There is absolutely no way in heck he falls underneath the ice into the water and lives without getting hypothermia. How does he magically dry in a super blizzard by the time he gets to the next station? Even if his daughter is a figment of imagination, surviving a blizzard after falling into freezing cold water with no food or water all while dying of cancer was not in his imagination. The end was pretty lame too where they just click on buttons on the control panel and the movie fades out. 1st half of the movie was OK, last half was a waste of time.

This movie's plot was a real shame in that it had huge potential. It felt like an episode of a show but you only got one long one. Also, there were some scenes that would just never occur in real life as filmed (the ice water/blizzard bit). The acting was solid, but it felt like they were fighting a weak plot line the whole time. There'd be some real solid moments followed by an inexplicable full minute committed to a space singalong.

Generally a good film, worth watching, but very frustrating. George Clooney doesn't make any effort to develop good character, and the reason for the destruction of the Earth was never made clear. It was disappointing

The first 25 minutes of the film were perhaps the best and from there it sort of meandered along without any impetus to draw the viewer in. They're going through a blizzard to get to a bigger radio dish... why? To talk to a space craft. The space craft get's caught in an asteroid field and sustains some damage that has to be fixed. What are they doing and why? Who knows. The earth is suddenly uninhabitable and all space stations but one are lost. Why and How? Who knows. The movie became like a kind of back drop of space and ice scenes some of which looked pretty cool. Stil left me wondering what the hell was the film actually about.

Very slow, very heavy, but brilliant.

Brilliant. Unfortunately, most of the American public has too short an attention span to appreciate a film that doesn't follow the predictable, canned movie pattern with formulaically timed tension spikes, quick edits, and showy car explosions designed for the sensory overload junkie, but if you prefer good storytelling to fast food cinema, you will love Midnight Sky.

If you're a science fiction lover. This is a great movie to lose yourself in. However if you are not, you may not enjoy this as much as I did. Phenomenal surprise at the end. I just feel that the movie could have been directed better, I feel that some holes could have been filled. Or maybe add more realism to some aspects. Like the whole surviving s blizzard no problem and was in freezing water then dried and no hypothermia at all. Idk. But it being fiction. It still worked but I can see how it would lose people. I truly think the visuals saved the day, and if you don't think logically, just think fictionally and romantically with this genre. It's a great film!

Starring Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Kyle Chandler, and George Clooney who returns to his space roots from 'Gravity'. Taking place in February 2049 3 weeks after an Earth-shattering event. Mankind has established intergalactic space outposts on various planets The Aether space shuttle is on its way to the Barbeau Observatory run by Augustine. This is based on the book by Lily-Brooks Dalton with George Clooney producing and directing. The new planet K-23 was supposed to be the future of civilization off world but fell through. Now Augustine with a little girl named Iris have to trek to a new station to maintain communication with Aether. It looks now that earth is no longer habitual due to large waves of radiation. So does the Aether crew go rescue Augustine and Iris or turn back? The space scenes look marvelous and deserve to be seen on giant screen. The movie is more of a sci-fi drama than an outright space adventure. Won't bode well for a lot of viewers but Clooney's performance is enough to hold it together. There's good thoughtful themes as well with fantastic visuals. A small little plot twist toward the end too that might shock some. 'Gravity' was much deeper but Clooney shows he still has a lot of human elements in the hopes of space exploration to mankind's salvation.

There was a lot about this movie that was great like the acting, the overall story, the effects, but it could've been significantly better with better pacing. This movie could've still made sense and have been a lot more entertaining if it was about a half hour shorter.
