Needlessly convoluted script with a unexpected disappointing ending!

Wonderful scenery and incredible performances throughout. Slightly predictable but also endearing.

The Midnight Sky is a waking dream that keeps you in its grips.

Set pieces . . . are thrilling and judiciously spaced. The performances Clooney draws out are even better.

Shrouded in an elegiac reverie, The Midnight Sky is a frequently beautiful movie, from the mechanical ballet of the bird-like Aether to the brief glimpses of K-23, where Jupiter looms in a purplish night sky. But its inability to make a strong connection between the separated stories, and a tone that slips sometimes from poetic quietude to sentimentality, keep the movie from taking a long and honest look at the devastation its reticent mood only suggests.
