The Midnight Sky	comment	The Midnight Sky is a 2020 Science Fiction drama movie released by Netflix. It was directed by George Clooney, who also stars, and was written by Mark L. Smith, adapted from the novel Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton.In 2049, the world has been ravaged by a great disaster known as "The Event", which has saturated the atmosphere with radiation, leaving all populated areas uninhabitable and almost all of the population dead. An exception is the scientist Dr. Augustine Lofthouse (Clooney, Ethan Peck), who has stayed behind after his research base in the Arctic, Barbeau Observatory, has been evacuated. Realizing that a space expedition is about to return to Earth with no idea that it's no longer safe, he sets out to make contact with them and warn them, accompanied by Iris, a girl he finds at the research station (Caoilinn Springall). Meanwhile, the crew of the expedition (Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Kyle Chandler, Demián Bichir and Tiffany Boone) steers their ship, the Aether, back to Earth while navigating through their own dangers.

The Midnight Sky / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Heavily bitter, bordering on Downer. Augustine dies while talking to Sully, a.k.a. Iris Sullivan, who never learns that he was her father. Mitchell and Sanchez are flying back to Earth, but it's unlikely that they'll survive long enough for Mitchell to find his family. The only bright point here is that Sully, Ade and their unborn child survive and head back to K-23 to live there. Augustine also mentions underground shelters on Earth that should hold some survivors, but those are temporary, effectively making Sully, Ade and their child the last surviving members of the human race.

The Midnight Sky / int_e6558beb	comment	Artistic License – Space: There is simply no way that a moon orbiting Jupiter, large enough to support Earth-like life, could have remained undiscovered until 20 Minutes into the Future. Galileo discovered the four largest ones (Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa, only one of which is bigger than the Earth's Moon) in the seventeenth century, and modern science has documented dozens of moons down to the size of small cities. Any moon orbiting Jupiter as closely as K-23 does would have been sterilized by the planet's radiation belt long before developing an Earth-like atmosphere.
