In George Clooney's The Midnight Sky, the journey across Arctic's snowy expanse literalises a hero's self-redemption. A grizzled old scientist treks through an icy wasteland to contact a crew of astronauts. He must prevent them from returning to an Earth destroyed by a mysterious catastrophe. Clooney's imposing vision of a dying world brings to mind Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Only, if McCarthy explored the depths of human nature, Clooney barely scratches the surface. Where films like Solaris and The Midnight Sky gets stuck in shallow soap opera. So his adaptation of Lily Brooks-Dalton...

(Things didn't turn out as they planned).  However, when Aether crewmember Sully (Felicity Jones) is unable to make contact with NASA, and the ship veers off course, Augustine decides he must trek across a frozen tundra to a weather station to reestabl...

     It’s mere coincidence George Clooney resembles Santa and dwells atop the North Pole while on a not-so-jolly journey to the ends of the Earth in “The Midnight Sky.” So don’t be fooled by the long gray beard and icebox setting for a dour end of the world mopefest in which it’s 2049 and climate change is killing off all the girls and boys, both naughty and nice. Father Christmas his oddly named Augustine is not. He’s actually a celebrated astronomer fed up with his fellow humans, who he rightly credits with failing “to do our job” in protecting the planet from self destr...
