Critics Reviews

Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle The Midnight Sky shines with Clooney's deep and abiding belief in the human condition, in compassion, in ... "redemption" is the wrong word, too Catholic. Rather, in connection, even if it is brief, even if it is seemingly one-sided. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 12, 2021 Full Review Rex Reed Observer The two-hour running time seems like two years as it drags on indefinitely. Rated: 1/4 Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian This is an odd movie overall. The pacing is slow - in the space sequences I started wishing for Darth Vader to turn up - and the music, by dual Oscar winner Alexandre Desplat, is overbearing. Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Brett Doze InSession Film While the film isn’t a total loss based on these areas, the lack of a convincing narrative and a connection to the characters makes for a tough sit. Rated: D May 2, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Netflix’s The Midnight Sky doesn’t quite border on humdrum, but lands on ambivalent. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “The Midnight Sky” is destined to be a divisive movie. For some it will be emotionally cathartic and fitting for a year like 2020. Others will find it to be shallow, derivative and lacking its own identity.

Elma G 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. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review D S 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. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Stephen B 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. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Prince d 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 Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Andrew P 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. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review rick d Very slow, very heavy, but brilliant.
