Movie : The Midnight Sky Year : 2020 Edit : Yes it's snowmobile

A random child popping up in a isolated location just screams hallucination.

Then genetics kicks in and you realise you need at least 500 different people to realistically rebuild a civilisation.

I love how they can do a round-trip to another solar system like you went to school on a holiday only to find it closed and get back home.

An inbred planet. We need a sequel in comedy or horror form.

So instead of George Clooney being a figment of someone's imagination, this time he's the real one.

Jet skis are for water. The contraptions for traveling in snow are called “snowmobiles”; or if you’re in Alaska, “snowmachine”.

I actually liked this movie a lot. It was so sad when he realized his daughter was on the ship and he'd been imagining the girl the whole time. It's not anywhere near as good as Interstellar but it was a really good film. I love movies about outer space.

I remember watching this movie and as soon as I saw little Iris, I immediately thought, "She's either a hallucination or supernatural to have survived this long undetected." But then they show the scene where she's completely on her lonesome to get a better look of the wreck of the plane's cabin and seeing the corpse of the boy. This threw me off because I didn't anticipate that this scene was just probably Augustine imagining her actions the whole time, even if she wasn't actually physically near him. Certainly threw me off the hallucination theory

I guess they’re completely immune to the cold being able to take quick swims in Arctic temperature ice water with the ability to easily recover in the middle of the freezing night out in the snow with no food or a wink of sleep, not only did they just spend the previous night in a tent on the icy snowy ground but they are also about to walk aimlessly through a blizzard for hours with absolutely nothing but their jackets, How do they have no long lasting effects at all?

It is a common mistake in many movies like this, you can not restart humanity with just two people.

I like how EVERY space ship EVER made for space never takes into consideration GIANT ROCKS of every size from small to planet size

Every single space movie has astronauts going outside the spaceship, invariably dying. You would think by now one of them would’ve seen some of the other movies and just stayed inside.

logically, its great that augustine focus most of his time on his work, knowing that possibility of Earth"s death is near, situation would probably be worse if.....you know family (his also doing it for humanity eitherway)

Is no-one going to mention that they found a wrecked plane that had clearly been there for a while already and was completely exposed to the elements. Yet somehow a badly wounded and possibly trapped man was able to survive in there for god knows how long? Also wasn't the old man supposedly the last person out there? The wounded guy in the plane would imply a very recent crash. As in within a day or two if the guy got lucky and managed to at least find some way to keep warm. Which would in turn imply that there's still other people on earth surviving to such an extent that they can still maintain planes and get fuel for them. Which would make the old man a liar.

So how did he recover from being soaked in a zero temperature? This is the real mystery of this movie. Saw it …enjoyed it.

It was an interesting film, although the idea that the two remaining astronauts could potentially "rebuild" civilization was scientifically problematic. Perhaps there was a backstory that was left on the cutting room floor (i.e., there was already a colony on that planet). Also, folks on Earth were presumably "evacuated" to some sort of safe deep underground military facility, so it wasn't clear why George Clooney was somehow the only person on the planet capable of communicating with the astronauts.

Family is more important than your work. Take time out of your day to be with the ones you love.

The book this film is based on, "Good Morning, Midnight" by Lily Brooks-Dalton was amazingly paced, wonderfully nuanced, and such an intimate telling of the end of days (of which we never find out the cause, source, or magnitude.) It's a wonderful piece of fiction - as much character study as a sci-fi story - and I was so thoroughly disappointed by the film adaptation which took nothing from the character-strong narrative and tried to make it more of an "action flick." It's NOT a sci-fi action story. That was the beauty of it. Very sad this story got the Hollywood treatment :(

With a story line like that it’s no wonder I’ve never heard of it. Written by people who failed high school science.

Movies about space : exist Asteroid : Well sir let me introduce my gang

It looks like this is the first future spaceship with no troublemakers among the crew.

I saw this movie when it first came out and I always thought the little girl Iris was a hallucination. Glad you confirmed it. You did a fantastic job. I came across this by pure chance. Again my thanks...

Honestly this was not a great movie, but it has a special place in my heart. It was the only new release that weekend, it was my birthday and having just left a state under COVID lockdown, it was the first movie I had seen in a theater in a very long time. The experience was a touch of normal in a very abnormal time.

There’s a book by Joshua Dalzelle called Blueshift with a very similar premise. A crew of explorers takes the first exploratory spaceship out to Alpha Centauri and returns a few centuries later to find Earth and modern civilization collapsed while they were away

10:00 “Potentially rebuild the civilisation” Only two ppl are there….. Sooooooo……

Leaving humanity completely dead and killing all the characters except for 2, in hopes they can rebuild humanity? Reminds me of Snow Piercer. All I could think was "did they really have to have the train explode and kill the last 1000 people on Earth and leave only 2 children?"

I never heard of this movie at all - but apparently it received an Oscar Nomination for Best Visual Effects. Other groups nominated it for Best Score and Art Direction as well.

Did I miss something ? Was the ship a colony ship?? Did they have people in stasis? How are three people going to repopulate the species?

It's like SOMA but in Arctic Station instead of underwater base. Humanity went extinct

You know, this channel has been the best thing I've found on UKposts thus far. Watching movie clips is all I ever watch on UKposts now😭🙌🔥

I haven't seen the film but I'd be intrigued enough to see why the Earth failed. Mainly because most climate scientists agree that if Humanity died out, the Earth would recover relatively quickly.

Enjoyed the spoiler. I gave up on watching The Midnight Sky. It was a little slow. But your summary made it an interesting story. Thank you. I'll definitely watch more.

I think it's funny when he calls things not by their real names. Like the snowmobile being a jet ski.

Did you just call a snowmobile a jetSki?

I like how she has a “JOVIAL” relationship with the crew just as Jupiter is in the background.

Damn, the girl was a hallucination all along.

Nice story and visual effects. Too bad the guilt Clooney had wasn't resolved by telling Iris he was her father and he loved her.

I never even heard of this movie until now. But I'm glad I haven't watched it, the child being a hallucination was so predictable. And the ending of never finding out what happens to those two guys and their families? So depressing! Sounds as though the whole thing would have left me wondering what the point if the movie was in the first place.

“Iris was a hallucination all along” - I had a feeling the ending was going to be rubbish

What did you just say? The hallucination actually makes sense in this movie? How rare

calling a snowmoblies a jet skis was drving me crazy the whloe time.

Can't believe they didn't activate gravity first before opening the injured astronaut's helmet. That's basically letting the blood out of the body system even more rapidly.

I love this guy’s channel. He covers some fine masterpieces.

nice movie i wish there will be a part 2 released

i loved this movie but really wish i had seen more of what was happening to the rest of the world, since a guy in a plane gets near him so that means there has to be stuff happening.

This movie seems to be very emotionally painful to watch. I am glad we have these movie summaries instead to save us time and stress.

To rebuild civilization with 2 people you need an almost impossible amount of luck avoiding most of the problems related to incest

How the hell are they gonna rebuild civilization with only 2 people?

wait WUT, iris was his hallucinations? damn that hit hard!

This is just a guess but, it might have the same basic premise of Interstellar. Instead of live humans, a genetic bank of human (fertilized embryos) could have perhaps been placed aboard Aether. When the arrived at K23, they would have ascertained the viability of the planet, perhaps established an automated outpost, and sent the Aether back to establish survivors, survey the Earth for damage, and if any survivors found, train them to assume duties aboard Aether to continue the journey. Now for anyone interested in seemingly how fast the ship got back and forth so fast, that's kind of easy really. They may have discovered "near light" or relativistic travel. Simply put, the closer to light you go, the more "time dialation" within the ship occurs. So say we travel to Alpha Centauri, it is about 4 light years away, but a ship traveling at near light speed, will only experience about a year of actual "aging". So relatively speaking, say 4.2 years have passed for the ship traveling through spacetime, but for the time dilated crew, only about a year or so has passed. Because the closer to C or the speed of light you go, the slower time is on the ship relative to time on Earth. So yes, they could have been in space for a century, and only a decade for them has passed on the ship. Well within the lifetime of a crew. So they may have left Earth decades, even a century before, and because of time dilation, they experience little time passing. It's bizarre, but well within Einstein's framework of General Relativity. As for communications, it also is subject to the barrier of light so depending on their distance, every transmission is delayed depending on how far they are. It takes 5 to 20 minutes to even contact Mars (depending on the position of the planet). If this isn't enough to deter you from thinking interstellar travel is incredibly difficult, even impossible you are not alone. But, many scientists are now beginning to believe that perhaps there may be "shortcuts" that can be used to to reduce travel time. The Alcubierre/White Drive is one possibility, another is the discovery of the "warp". But these may take longer than we might have to develop, and with that in mind, something along the lines of what was depicted in the film might be more viable (near light, cryogenic sleep, orbiting genetic bank with AI to recreate humans) or even as a last ditch effort, a starship with 50 men and 50 women of all colors and creeds may be launched to possibly habitable planets near Earth (up to the 20 light year radius).

Had I not see the low score from the critics and movie goers, I would assume this was a really awesome movie. But, thanks to you, I really want to see it

I saw this film, very interesting and well done for a small cast. Except that it takes more than two people to create a new civilization.

So...where did all the other people on Earth evacuate to? It was specifically stated and shown multiple times that the other people left on Earth were evacuating to somewhere but never stated where.

This movie didn't get the enough amount of Recognition it deserved...I fell in love with this Movie the first I watched it

I see it's on Netflix and will check it out. Thanks for the upload.

I watched this movie with my dad! He and I enjoyed it, it was a really interesting movie!

Fun-Fact: Space-Denial and Flat-Earthers are on the Rise. But brave man like Sci Man Dan and other content-creators fight back.

OMG... The actor who cast as Tom is the main protagonist of a TV series named The Early Edition! Each morning a cat would deliver morning newspaper from tomorrow to him!

Earth devoid of life? AWESOME!

The movie was surprisingly good. Only few weaker moments, I honestly expected much less from it.

This film is an example of why I miss authors like Arthur C. Clarke and Phillip K. Dick and film visionaries like Stanley Kubrick and Gene Roddenberry. Something is missing in these modern attempts at science-fiction. The plausibility is off. It's uncalibrated and there doesn't seem to be anyone at the helm to flag these screenplays before they're committed to filming. Comms that don't work, bunkers falling through ice (all of a sudden) and general idea-theft that is rampant in writing these days. It's like these people writing this stuff don't even try to be creative. It seems they just copy stuff they've seen and add a little scene of high-predictability here and there and...PRESTO...here's a movie. Mediocrity is the norm now. I feel where Saul (Edward G. Robinson) was coming from in Soylent Green when he said, "What have we become? Oh, what have we become?!"

THANK YOU I have watched the whole film, but I still don't understand parts of it, but your video has saved the day.

Looks like a great movie! I'll have to watch it soon!

Eating alone is probably one of the saddest things, especially being a social creature :/

My heart dropped at the ending

Great recap, thank you. I now fully understand a movie that I had found quite confusing. :)

The whole "lone survivor finding a friend that provides the moral support to help them succeed but turns out to be a hallucination" is an overused trope. I knew that's what the little girl was the instant she was introduced. I mean it's used a LOT. So much in fact that Clooney himself was Sandra Bullocks hallucination in Gravity.

Love the recaps. They remind my failing memory.

These 6-man crews on a true exploratory potentially colonizing ship is so unrealistic. Thats like cold-war era style space mission ideas at the bare bones. More realistic interpretations would involve hundreds, if not thousands of people, and they’d be in at least pairs or trios of arks, like a small migrant fleet. Murphy’s law may hit one ship and kill everyone on board, but that ship then salvaged by the others or even put back into service with multi-generational crew from the other ships.

Did someone mentioned you have a storytelling voice people cant hate or love but listen until the end....we so captive you cant help but hear until the end.... Thanks for the video...🥰🥰

WHAT A GREAT MOVIE !! i have seen this movie so mean times that i lost track ..

You know outer space is actually so devoid of material, so devoid of particles, and so empty that you could go in any direction in a straight line forever without the chances of probably hitting anything.

I watched this with my ex girlfriend last new years eve. We disliked it so much that we make ourselves late going to her friends house because we were sitting listing the things in it that either made no sense or were just bad

Jet Ski- I will never call it a Snowmobile again. Thank you for that :D

Good recap as always.

My biggest problems with this movie... -What happen to Earth -You don't simply just take a swim in artic waters and wait out a snowstorm...

Damn bittersweet ending

Wow, i loved the explanation more than the movie ☺️😊

The little girl survived without basic requirements. Amazing.

when you realize that you need a gene pool of 160 women and at least 16 men to rebuild civilization

4:22 Why is the tent wiggling? 👀👀👀

"Repair her wounds" Like she's a car or something 🤣

Went ahead and called that snowmobile a jet ski , twice lol.. What is a Ski Doo would have also been correct.. great vid, thanks uploader!

A good film but I refuse to believe at least 1 nation wouldn't throw everything they have establishing a lunar base until ships to reach k23 could be assembled with at least 200 souls and a gene bank.

Aether finds out K23 can sustain life, but decides to travel back to the dying earth. What logic is that? On their trip, they get their ship damaged and one of them dies. Now they have to turn back, wasting more time and risking more damage (and possibly more casualties)

Thats amazing he and the little girl were able to travel through the snow on a "jet ski" LOL

Thankyou wonderful film story acting

“To potentially rebuild civilization”? Really? From 2 people?

That ending was so sad yet nice at the same time

“Afterwards a woman approaches him to flirt…” The most sci-fi element of this sci-fi movie.

thank - you .

To all the people complaining about two people not allowing for enough genetic diversity of rebuilding a human population, remember, many humans were evacuated from Earth and the other explorer ships could likely head towards the habitable planet too.

2 people left alive... to recreation civilization. They have a LOT of work to do xD

What a way to be woken up with freezing water.

Damn, that jet ski sank pretty dang quick. Thought those float better then that.

What happened to the people on earth again? Are they planning to rebuild the civilization on K23 with just 2 people? They know that doesn't work right?

Thank you for this. Better 10 minutes wasted than however long this senseless move must go on for.

This film was the best film of 2020! It’s a must watch

I loved this movie all the actors are amazing
