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

At least the earth wasn't destroyed by climate change. That seems to be a popular theme these days.

We watched it last night as well. I was excited as I like this genre of movie - space, light sci-fi. The movie has so much potential, but IMHO, fell pretty flat. In addition, in the end, we felt it was very depressing. I watch movies to be entertained, lifted, etcetera. This movie didn't do it for me.

Contrast this with Gravity, where I was tense - I mean physically tense - during several of the scenes, and the movie left me upbeat.

I know that not all movies have a happy ending, but this movie needed to be better to end the way it did.

Whew watched it too. I’m sure glad I didn’t pay to see it. I’d give it a 1 out of 5. Not much plot. It was hard to follow and unrealistic. Just my opinion.

Great movie for insomniac.

Not one for George Clooney movies BUT if one ever gets the chance to watch Monuments Men, I think it was the best he ever did.
It was also based on actual historical events. (Some parts loosely I’m sure, but basic concept was factually correct)
Really excellent movie I’ve seen it more than once.

Great movie to fix insomnia. Zzzzzz

Thanks for the critique. It's getting to the point that Netflix just isn't worth it.

I started watching it also. After about 15 minutes I switched to Bridgerton.

Very good movie. I wrote a FunTrivia quiz on the book of the same name-- They Stop Nazi Art Thieves, Don't They? Quiz | 10 Questions

I thought the 1st Wonder Woman was good, but I like most all of the comic book hero movies.

Unfortunately, because of George Clooney, I made the mistake of watching this. Plodding, lots of lingering pauses, hardly any action. Actually, quite boring, in my opinion. Glad I didn't have to pay for it.

As many have said.....sooooo sloooowwwww......one star

Tripngirl 12-28-2020 12:53 PM

SO SLOW.........it took forever ..........there are other movies to watch.

Another disappointed viewer
 
Netflix has been hyping Midnight Sky, so I fell for the hype and watched it the other night.

This is a science fiction story. The science was shaky, and the fiction was so-so. Took a long time to set up the plot twist at the end. This seems to be a vanity project for Clooney to star and direct, although he didn't look like his usual handsome self.

With my thick gray beard and gray hair, I actually look somewhat like Clooney in this flick, but I still wasn't impressed.

Midnight sky was a wonderful movie I would give it a 5 out of 5. The ending was really important, quite thoughtful
