The Midnight Sky with George Clooney
 
Watched this last night on Netflix. Overall, I’d rate it a 3 out of 5. A bit slow, but good enough for an evening at home.

I wouldn’t pay $$$ to watch this at a movie theater.

I get Netflix so probably will watch it. Some of his movies are quite good; others not at all worth seeing. I almost walked out of The American, for instance.

Wow! This thread has really got me excited about the movie. According to Netflix, it's their number one movie in the country. Now, I don't know if I even want to waste the time. I still have 88 Golden Girl episodes on my DVR.

It was OK, barely OK. If you like fridgedness, snow, ice, Space views, spaceships, sloooow storylines, slooooow character development, holes in story, unbelieveable hokey space walk stuff, Hollywood being Hollywood - and did I mention sloooow - you will love this one. We even fastfowarded thru so many of the slow snow etc etc etc scenes, but still felt long. Only redeeming value was a character link at the end. I like Clooney, but sorry, 1 of 5 stars.

Well, I’d say it’s better than Golden Girls. Like I said, it’s good enough for an evening at home. It’s definitely not an action film.

I agree.

If we didn’t have NetFlix we would have passed on this one. As others have written “Sooooo Slow.”

Would totally agree. After watching this movie for I don’t know how long, I asked myself what is the point.

I thought it was better than what people were saying about it. I enjoyed it more than Wonder Woman 84

DougF 12-28-2020 08:14 AM

I agree 100%. It was deadly SLOW. I also fast-forwarded about 3 times, and wanted to turn it off, but kept thinking - it's got to get better, but ... it never did. i would give it at best one star.

Debbraham 12-28-2020 08:40 AM

Think I’d watch golden girls before Clooney movie...giving it a 3 was extremely generous. Kind of like watching paint dry!

Sooo sloooow..........
But an interesting little twist at the end

rlcooper70 12-28-2020 08:57 AM

My take is that Clooney got bored and made a low budget film for the fun of it ..... not a good movie ....
