I watched a movie called The Midnight Sky. It stars George Clooney and Kyle Chandler who played the head coach in the TV series version of Friday Night Lights. The movie is about a scientist (Clooney) who is in the arctic in a research center who has been burdened with trying to contact the crew of an American spaceship to keep them from trying to return to Earth because of a worldwide disaster which would kill them. Good idea for the storyline, bad script. I thought it would be a bit like Armageddon. Nope. It was nothing like it. Don’t go into this movie expecting it to be a thriller/action movie. It’s a slow moving and somewhat disappointing movie. Great acting, terrible screenplay. I give it 2 ½ thumbs up out of 5 thumbs. The sun is definitely not shining on The Midnight Sky.
