David H @Botty-face 6d Sometimes I’m very glad that I don’t take too much notice of Rotten Tomatoes reviews. If I had then I wouldn’t have watched this wonderfully-powerful and moving film. The cast is excellent and the movie is superbly-produced an excellently-paced. I’m going to watch it again straight away with my loved ones. Yes, it’s that kind of film!

See more Endre K @Endrek May 17 Beautifully made movie done at a slow reflective pace. Special effects are superb as is the acting. More for mature audiences. Though provoking. Not sure about the last 2 minutes where the sense of urgency was lost. Definitely worth watching. See more Gene D. @GDUVA Apr 27 meditative, gorgeous, brave. See more Jonathan L @RT68149114 Apr 20 "The Midnight Sky" feels like someone threw a bunch of great sci-fi movies in a blender, and then scooped out whatever that became. You couldn't register a single emotion on Clooney's face throughout the entire movie (until the very end) while at the same time the soundtrack is very obviously telling us "this is where you should be sad". However, you can't really blame Desplat, because litterally nothing else in the movie is telling us what to feel. This movie will have you pausing it, and staring at your phone at least twice as long as the actual playtime. This movie is great, if you have a todler who likes pretty colors and playful music. "The Midnight Sky" was clearly a cry for attention and praise, gone very wrong. See more Max L @RT19871702 Mar 30 This movie is filled with meaningless scenes and dialogue. Most of the setup does little to advance the story and instead feels like padding to stretch the runtime to two hours. Even 30 minutes in, the purpose of the main characters remains unclear. What do the people on the spaceship actually want? What is the scientist in the North Pole trying to achieve? What’s happening on Earth? And is there any path toward a resolution or a hopeful ending? Many of the characters’ actions also feel unjustified. Why stop midway through a snowmobile journey just to spend the night in a questionable cabin in the Arctic Circle—only to end up trekking two days on foot through freezing conditions to cover what was likely a 30-minute ride? Why play music during a spacewalk while attempting to repair critically damaged parts of the ship? And why do none of the pilots appear stressed after losing contact with Earth for days?
