Weak, pulseless movie

"The Midnight Sky" ... George Clooney gets lost in outdated thoughts

We said three years ago in this space that the rules of the game in cinema have changed in this decade, and we say today that the change that has occurred in the past three years only goes beyond the change that occurred at the beginning of the decade. This is not a mystery, but Netflix is ​​insisting on ousting Hollywood from the throne of cinema. .

The determination is clear, and the plan is in full swing. Netflix competes on all levels, and is not specialized in something. .

"Netflix" included George Clooney, after David Fincher, among the group of cinema giants who made their films under its umbrella, and today he is the hero and director of the science fiction film The Midnight Sky, "Midnight Sky" from its original productions, with a budget of 100 million dollars, and the first attempt at imagination Scientific branch of space films.

The attempt was not successful, but as we said, Clooney is freed from the pressures of the film’s revenues through the box office, and the film will be seen in all parts of the world regardless of its level.

We have a scientist named Augustine Lofthouse (Clooney), dying on our dead planet due to an environmental disaster, the film written by Mark Smith, adapted from Lily Brooks Dalton's novel, and produced and directed by Clooney himself.

This is a movie that was alive on paper and died on screen, because Clooney did not make one correct decision. We say this despite our respect for the man’s experience. Science fiction is a class that requires extraordinary creativity and wild imagination from its maker, and not just a clone of the most important science fiction films of the last decade.

Clooney thoughtlessly reproduces whole parts of the films "Attraction", which he is also his producer, "Interstellar", "AD Astra", "The Marchand", "The Road" and "Children of Men", and a few non-brand films. Like "The Revenant."

Then he ends it with an outdated cliché used in every season of the 1970s Soap Opera series, such as “Dallas”, “Notts Landing” and “Beauty and the Beast”, and this cliché was intentionally repeated because the audience of these series of women loved him at that time!

Reproduction is not a mistake if Clooney was adding something new, but the man is empty hands and nothing new to introduce, and there is no left for his film of any kind of originality, in the field of originality in which a part of creativity, this is the first appearance on the screen of Clooney four years ago in the movie "The Monster of Money", but Bring it out as cool as the arctic cold in which his character lives.

This scientist Lofthouse decides to stay at his station in the Arctic because he is sick, and to warn humans on another planet against returning to their former planet because it is not fit for life.

The strange thing is that the film's time is in 2049, the same year that Blade Runner took place, and a year that will come 28 years from today.

The strangest thing is that science fiction films in the past used to imagine the end of the earth after a century or centuries, while today's movies imagine it after less than 50 years, which is really something to worry about because it is a pessimistic fiction.

Augustine discovers that a spaceship called Ether is approaching the Earth, and decides to inform it to move away, because the planet is uninhabitable, but the problem is that the antenna it uses is weak, so he must search for another point with a stronger transmission to reach its message.

These are the first weaknesses and contradictions in a movie whose director has lost between ideas used, there is no real motivation for the character to do anything useful!

A scientist lives his last days and has not taken any precautions to strengthen his station's transmission.

The second weakness is that the world is accompanied by a girl whose family forgot her during the evacuation of the station, and she does not speak, and the girl is only there to serve the cliché in the end, the film is cold and devoid of any emotions, and the hero accompanies a silent girl, and his motives are weak, meaning there is no one reason that makes this movie interesting .

The other story in the film takes place on board Ether, and it has nothing to do with this movie except that Augustine wants to warn them, all the events of Ether are cloned parts of the aforementioned films, this is a weak and unbeatable movie.

A film without personalities, and its flashback scenes are devoid of any emotions, and make you yawn and look for something to bite in your neighborhood, because the taste of what you bite is more amusing than Clooney's handsome face despite his thick beard!

Save your time and watch another movie.
