Review of The Midnight Sky (2020) by Jesfsf — 29 Dec 2020
If you liked 'Ad Astra' you'd probably like this, but not as much. The pacing is glacial. it's dark, it's depressing. It's s l o w. Reasons to watch: we're hard up for entertainment; it's free on Netflix; some of the visuals are stunning.
I'd almost recommend watching it for the visuals, except that it's agonizingly slow and disappointingly pointless. If 'Ad Astra' offended you because of its random-plot-tricks-masquerading-as-science, this will offend you more, because at least 'Ad Astra' had some urgency in its pacing.
The dialog dumb, the "emotions" forced. Cut it down to twenty minutes of visuals with some nice music, it would be a beautiful screensaver.
