Lol exactly ‼️ that’s what happened with me

FR I only watched because I finished the show I'd been binge watching lol

same thoughts in there as yours

Same!! the reason why and how earth got into that form is completely irrelevant to the storyline. People hating for no reason.

earth was destroyed by nuclear war. augasteen in first contact says that it began with their small mistake. means- from a small human mistake. which cant be natural disaster.

The Midnight sky is what we indians call an art movie. I know it doesn't make sense but Basically for us an Art movie is a movie which is realistic and does not have musical songs , irritating comedy and that kind of random stuff which most Indian movies normally have Some movies show reality as it is. The way we see the world from that perspective , that way a movie is shown to us . I really like this movie, do all space movies need to be action packed?? It breaks my heart to see that this master piece did so badly in cinema . I suppose Americans like High school musical and John Wick kind of movies. 😒

It was a very good movie. SPOILER next! However I believe I know who the little girl really was, and I don’t think he was hallucinating. Maybe you’d agree. Remember toward the end when he was looking for the little girl in the snowstorm, he saw the image of his former beloved girlfriend as if it was a ghost, then suddenly, it was the little girl he was looking for. Then it became obvious as to who the girl really was. I believe that his deceased former girlfriend came back as the image of their little child in order to give him more comfort during his last days alive and alone, with him thinking that a little child was left behind. If the girlfriend came back as herself, it may have upset him, and brought back the reality of his past and the pain of leaving her and their child, that he never met when the last saw each other. And toward the end, talking on the sat radio to the woman on the spaceship, he eventually realized it was his actual daughter that he was speaking to for the first time, and so he finally found peace, one in finally talking to her, and two, realizing how much his girlfriend loved him that she came back to be with him as their daughter and let him spend the time that he missed out with her as she appeared as a child, with the same mannerisms. It was a good ending and storyline.

There are other voyagers they can contact that we’re out of range in the beginning. Augustine went over a list of them in the beginning it his satellite was too weak to reach them. I hope they make it. Otherwise we’ll have to go with your variation and go full Alabama 😂

I could not have said it better my self

So if Adam and eve were the first humans according to the Bible in genesis that means their offsprings went full Alabama. Makes sense based on current events taking place.

@@Noname-613 hehehehe the Bible you say? That’s nice.

"full alabama" lol

Well yeah....but also the bible

Humanity is in hiding only. Probably other will follow, or another craft is travelling there on another mission already?

@manditheos they can with i n c e s t

Not to mention the mixing of genes 🧬 over & over

So did my sanity !

what!?

What would u have done

@@DaTryHardCamper give the story a explanation as to why earth has radiation pockets everywhere, was it a thermo nuclear that went off or a nuclear plant went wrong, or maybe the ozone layer got depleted hence why radiation is running rampant on earth. Literally so many opportunities for them to explain and expand on the ending but i guess it is what it is.

@@Thedrlipa Clooney didn't want to explain the reason for why the earth was uninhabitable OBVIOUSLY. The story wasn't about why the earth was destroyed. The story was about Clooneys character Augustines regrets about not raising a family. About how he put his work before the people in his life. The story focuses on FAMILY and its importance to the father not about the disaster. This isnt "contagion" or WWZ. It's a story about the father and daughter relationship. If Clooney wanted to explain some of the things, as you said it could have easily been done, but he wanted the focus on something else. (Clooney was the director btw)

@@DaTryHardCamper thrown the script in the trash with a can of lighter fluid

I thought it was boring at the start and had a ok ending

the answers are almost all in the movie thought. 1. radiation levels are rising and i think i saw temperature rising rapidly aswell. my guess, the atmosphere is degrading rapidly. 2. noone left the earth. the scientists at the beginnig were just being flown out from the arctic research facility to "their homes". no contact to the colony ship also implies that what ever happend on earth, happend too suddenly. 3. i don't know the radar reflection properties of ice, but it looked like it was relativly small. 4. that's where i lost alot of interest, that was extremely unrealistic imho. 5. obviously.

@Nathaniel Ashley The soldiers on helicopters came from a safe place , they were able to to reach the survivors and took them to that place, that makes me believe there were able to survive underground but due to radiation and underground interference they cant communicate.

@@Rekcoj No contact with the colony ship could also imply that they are out of range. It doesn’t mean the ship is gone, maybe they can’t just communicate. Which would make the repopulation of the moon more logical.

S W E E T H O M E A L A B A M A

@@BurndTire lol

exactly!!! 💯

I'm thinking Sully is her last name. The other 2 astronauts went by Mitchell and Sanchez their last names.

Sully is Iris Sullivan, they just shortened her name to Sully. Much like Adewole who they call Ade

The movie was brilliant.

Her name is Iris Sullivan, people call her Sully in the movie. The little girl is a figment of his imagination, essentially a manifestation of his guilt, a coping mechanism. This approach has been used before, but basically in the end the point was he felt guilty that he neglected a daughter for work that never concluded to go anywhere, but when older Iris mentions her mother was Jean Sullivan, he realized she's his daughter he never bothered meeting, and that by complete accident, he was her role model and in a way was always there for her, just like he was there to inform the crew about the problem and give them a plan. The thing with this movie, the focus was really just Clooney's redemption story, everything else wasn't really concluded so therefore ppl will continue to pick this movie apart, but I honestly just enjoyed his character arc, and the space scenes were really well done.

@@ronaldchee3334 Doesn't make sense If the little girl is simply a figment of his imagination, then why did the writers make the fact that a young girl was missing from the evacuation fight such a prominent part of the early part of the film where they were setting out the 'layout of the world events ?? Everybody would automatically assume that the child he discovers at the base was the missing girl.

Same

My wife is pissed off at me for asking her to watch it with me.

Weird. Thought it was a great movie.

They vanished into the plot.

it seems like there was high radiation on earth, so they probably melted

Suffocated as soon as they landed and eyes popped out like in total recall

@@alefunzouzzle4049 what plot?

@@Brakdayton 😂😂

That show was called The 100.

Yeah I think they included that scene to try to throw off the audience for the upcoming plot twist. Also that lady who was looking for her daughter Ana was a reminder to Augustine of his regret to not go after his daughter when he had the chance. He had wished he was more a good parent and hero to iris than he is to the world.

Very bad film. Good visuals. All else is utter c***. Honestly, what was good or "great"?

I think it wasn’t supposed to be a twist. Cause if you have experience with psychology films. This show How lonely he was that create little girl who we dont know who is. That she is the source of his Hope. And they didnt wanted to male that so obvious and show the lost girl before to give us some doubt that she might be real

@@gv8460 you must be marvel action fans 🥛

shut up, pirate

@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 I have soo many questions....

Yes. You get the most out of it by not watching it at all.

Agreed. Not the greatest movie

@@peterm1240 😂😂

The people underground may go to the other planet. Being underground was just temporary

@@unusuarioimportante the underground settlements themselves were said to be temporary i.e. not suited for long term survival. If evac from the planet was an option - why go underground first?

... did no one actually watch this movie? The bulk of humanity fled to KD-23, Jupiter's moon, that's what the opening of the movie is about. The space station misson's back was merely to discover if Earth had recovered from "the calamity" enough to return...

@@larrywolf2509 you are wrong in every single thing you are saying.

do you know how the earth ended up like that?

Yeah, apparently a review of the reviews shows that it didn't take with a lot of people.

I think the remaining questions are intentional. So you can believe what you want to believe. I like that as it takes a different approach and doesn’t just straight up tell you. It goes for something different.

Amen

@@ALGARIC I second that Amen. Two hours of my life gone forever.

I know, right?

So cheesy. And on top of that, she happens to be pregnant with basically the last known human male in the galaxy. Horrible.

IN what way is this happy ending? 3 ppl on lone planet is.. happy ending?:D

Humanity will not go extinct. Some shelters are builded to support houndreds of people for houndreds of years. Propably radiation will end soon. Like in hiroshima ir evn in nova zemya in russia after tsar bomb detonation. This places are full of life now. AND it was only 50 years ago or 75. Also there are over 100 other crew mission in space. He just do not have communication equipement good enough to contact unless they are really close to earth. Amd idea of colonizing jupiter without permament moon and mars colonization is stupid as hell. I am sure they have moon, mars and orbital pemament colonies.

@Randy Baumery yep, my local graveyard also is much nicer than my home.

@Randy Baumery i do not know why you want to be burried in heaven. I mean it is a nice medium town, but You are from connecticout? nvm it is your decision, i only hope that you are from usa, because if you are not this will be difdicult for your familly.

@Randy Baumery you know where your soul will go? How?

The mysterious ilness could've been a lot of things, but it probably involved kidney failure in the latest stages. What happened to Earth? Most likely a failed EMP-technology based test that resulted in the detonation of all nukes in the blast radius. That's why he said, it happened with an accident and they knew it was dangerous. What about underground situation? As temperatures and radiation levels are rising, being underground even in a cave with protective layers won't last long before this poisonous energy penetrates and or oxygen (or water to make oxygen) runs out. Why did Augustine killed the man? Probably to save that man from a painfull death from radiation sickness. There was nothing else he could do, and when he wispered he probably made this request for a quick and peacefull death instead of the pure agony of cellular degration.

Nothing to do with expectations. It is all over the place. Horrible movie.

@@wilbimcshane2530 what u mean all over the place, I’m sorry but that has nothing to do with the movie and more with your iq m8

@@pascalmoll4834 Sure. Kisses.

Wilbi Mcshane I agree. It was anything but a resolution. You mean to tell me the one person on earth that is able to communicate with the two astronauts, just happens to be a father daughter? Cmon. And you send a massive space craft that appears to need manual interaction, years away to a moon planet with a crew of 5 people? Lol takes more people to operate a Starbucks store. Also him imagining the daughter was a lame twist. Given all the issues returning to earth they encountered how could they possibly think getting back would be an easier with 3 less members? Ridiculous.

@@wilbimcshane2530 thx

Lol you need to get out of the house and make some friends, it's called "science FICTION" for a reason.

They all went to the underground bunkers

Agreed

@@uzazil but u see them leaving in helicopters in the beginning, and there were little creatures in the snow that were spreading world wide so it wouldn’t make since

@@Jose-qy9lb There were no creatures lol the helicopters were taking people to the bunkers. The crows were dying and the wolves were hunting him. Those were the only Animals in the entire movie

sounds like you're talking about trashy Martian

I’m a sophomore in high school and I think it’s stupid they didn’t tell us what happened nor did they give us a story on if the human race survived. And now I think that the two left on the ship are gonna create a bunch of inbreads

So, why don't you fill us in why the science doesn't make any sense. For me, the movie was 9 out of 10. "just awful in my opinion because the science was so bad...none of it made any sense" Explain high IQ intelligent man!

Agreed, we can communicate with Voyagers 1&2 in interstellar space, but we can't contact or update a ship that is near Jupiter? Then the ship can't pick up space debris until it's hit by it. How in the hell did they make it that far? The plot devices did not match reap science. Also a haman swimming in the Arctic l and survive. That's some weird science 😂😂

I came here to see if there was anything in addition to what I got from the movie. Nope, boring

Sandstorm - Darude

mother for looking for Ana is a twist for us to think the girl is real

@@entropy22 at first, i thought iris was ana, the stories confusing but, what can we do?

It is slow when it needs to be slow, and it is intense when it must be intense. Movie not for popcorn happyending story lovers. Besides it faithfully follows the plot of the book it is based on.

Truly a horrible movie.

It was a prettt damn good movie

Yes , It was Criminally boring , well aided by the funeralesque music score .

We're lucky to even have movies.

Exactly. She was not a boy.

Her name is Iris Sullivan. They called her Sully for short

Wasn't it clear from the movie? Same kid in the back of the car at the end. And clearly the estranged relationship they had meant the mother didn't want her daughter to know anything about the dad that only cared for his work and nothing else. There was also the scene in the sinking habitat - the only words she ever spoke was asking if he loved his wife, and we didn't hear the answer. So we can assume that is also unanswered from his perspective as well. Even he doesn't know.

@@owiela So was iris already born during the first time "she gave him a speech"? where he didnt look at her and stuck to the computer? I find it odd to keep up a relation ship to the point of pregnancy, even if its broken like that and immediately get out once the child is there. so for him to have never see his daugher is far fetched to me. it feels constructed.

@@reneeschke That's fair. I mean, I liked the movie but I generally don't read into movies that much, not to the extent other people do. Like, he knows who his daughter is. He knows that Sully is Iris. My best guess is that he is holding on to the last time he missed introducing himself to her, that is why the girl is the age she is. He may have been involved when the girl was a baby, but went awol soon after. Not sure what the speech was about though... can't seem to wrap my head around the significance of telling him it never happened. Could have been a lie though to bait his reaction.

@@reneeschke Iris was born after the speech there’s a time skip between the speech and iris’s birth The mother lied to augustine about being not pregnant so augustine could continue on his work

It was his mind feeling guilty about isolating himself with his work and alienating from his wife and daughter. The little girl is how he remembers his daughter years ago, the woman on the ship is the real her, his daughter, which he alienated. Now he knows humanity will continue on K23 with his daughter to repopulate. He was also the inspiration for her to become an astronaut, when he brought a moonrock to her mother when she was little. Back then she probably didn't knew he was her father, as they were already alienated, but by the time they speak in the final scenes, they both know and aknowledge their relationship. It ends in him crying, relieved that he was able to speak to her and she basically forgave him for his abscense by mentioning he inspired her as a little girl when he brought his mother and her a moonrock back when she was that little girl and also telling him she is happy they could finally talk. Offcourse they both knew that this conversation was the last time they could ever talk to each other so they wouldn't waste it with regrets or grudges. He cries and probably dies because now he can let go of his terminal life with some peace of mind, having heard his daughter one final time and knowing humanity will life on through her.

They took the book (if you didn't know it) - Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton.

Agreed. Movie fans are so jaded nowadays, is seems like it's hats for anyone to enjoy anything.

Indeed

It was a nuclear winter

@@uzazil Cool, too bad they didn’t include a bit of that information and the story that lead up to it. Like how the good Dr apparently became so famous for doing something

@@martywilsonlife thanks so much

They might not have been married. Just things that happen on a ship when you're in close proximity to one another, which is why it's a surprise to both of them. I think there's something to be had about unclear endings. Not everything we have in life has a clear ending... we can just hope for the best outcome depending on your world view.

Maya

@@darrellpatton4008 nah cause they play Sweet Caroline song, and they mention that later in the movie again

Me too. Saw it yesterday, and still thinking about it.

I think people are disliking the movie largely because to fully appreciate the story, the viewer must think it through. (Such viewers are accustomed to everything being fully explained and wrapped in a nice package.) The first leap for me was deciding that little Iris was imaginary-to some degree anyway. Did Augustine really traverse hundreds of miles of the arctic on his own? I am still wondering about this aspect, but I am happy to do so. The drugs went down with the skimobile, so how much more time did he have? (After firsthand experience my wife's succumbing to cancer, I think he probably did have weeks or more.) Etc.

I found it boring and the plot full of holes that you had to either forgive or invent an alternative logic to try to give the plot some credibilty . Even the music was too often, too melodramatic , overly sombre and together with the long drawn out pauses sent me to sleep.

Other spacecraft did. It wasn’t just Aether that went to K23.

I think you did. there was a little bit about another ship (albeit hadn't made contact in a week) they also talked about the colony site. Either you can assume they'll - as another commenter put it - go full Alabama, or there is in fact already colonists on there and they were the ones tasked to come back to earth to report their findings.
