The year 2020 has played host to a nightmarish global catastrophe, so ending the year with a movie about a nightmarish global catastrophe may not be at the top of many people’s lists. That’s the divide which the new Netflix movie
The Midnight Sky must bridge, something made easier by the presence of a movie star like George Clooney.
Clooney, who both stars in and directs the film, plays Augustine, a scientist with terminal cancer who chooses to stay behind at a remote Arctic outpost when an unspecified disaster hits the entire Earth in 2049. Simultaneously, a group of astronauts — including Sully (Felicity Jones), Adewole (David Oyelowo), and Mitchell (Kyle Chandler) — who had been scouting a previously undiscovered moon of Jupiter as a possible new colony are on their way back to Earth with no knowledge of the conditions that await them.
