The Midnight Sky

"Flanked by a strong supporting cast, Clooney delivers a thoughtful reflection on the toll of environmental devastation (...) This quiet, meditative new film is emotionally involving from tense start to poignant finish" 

"An uneven but ultimately thoughtful and moving survival story (...) [It] can’t help but recall several other similar films (...) and the script’s themes can sometimes be rather pedestrian" 

"[It] has a generically functional motor (...) Some viewers will surely be moved. To me, though, 'The Midnight Sky' just proves that a movie that reaches for the stars can still come up empty-handed." 

"George Clooney’s gorgeous and derivative apocalyptic vision. Equal parts "Gravity," "The Martian," and "The Thing," Clooney's Netflix thriller is engaging but overly familiar. (...) the movie unleashes a mostly welcome stream of sci-fi pastiche" 

"The astronaut-drama stuff isn’t top-tier within the recent annual tradition of sending stars to the stars, but it does the job" 

"It's a visually striking, emotional and bold sci-fi (...) George Clooney is as good as he's been in years (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"It rockily bounces between survival thriller and familiar space drama until the story lines finally mesh. Still, Clooney manages to stick the emotionally wrenching landing without all the parts falling off. (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
