Review: Clooney s The Midnight Sky a cold, alienating experience
George Clooney directs and stars in this story about a post-apocalyptic Earth
Adam Graham
It s lonely out there in space, on Earth after a global disaster and in The Midnight Sky, a solemn, snail-paced sci-fi drama from director-star George Clooney. Gravity it s not. That heart-racing action epic (also starring Clooney) explored similar themes of isolation and finding the will to live in the face of surefire death. The Midnight Sky is a much more dour, downturned film, and while it may fancy itself headier or more cerebral, in reality it s an emotionally obtuse and disconnected experience.
