‘The Midnight Sky’: Film Review
George Clooney is a well-known Hollywood actor and director who has directed and starred in the post-apocalyptic sci-fi survival drama on Netflix, 'The Midnight Sky,' alongside Felicity Jones. In the movie, he plays the role of a visionary astronomer named Augustine Lofthouse, who is battling a terminal illness and believes that the residents of Barbeau Observatory, where he is stationed in the Arctic Circle, will not last long due to the catastrophic event that has occurred on earth. The movie is based on Lily Brooks-Dalton’s 2016 debut novel, Good Morning, Midnight, and is a desolate elegy for a diseased planet and a prayer for the creation of life elsewhere in the universe.
