Movie Review: ***^The Midnight Sky (2020)

 This movie was produced by George Clooney and stars George Clooney and Felicity Jones as Augustine Lofthouse and Sully Sullivan.  It is a futuristic show about a post apocolytic earth due to a disease.  Lofthouse has been living in the Arctic.  When they were evacuated he refused to go as he is dying.  With his time left, he discovers a ship in space returning to Earth from a mission to one of Jupiter's moons.  They do not know of the problems on Earth--just that they have lost communication.  Lofthouse takes it as his mission to let them know and to turn around.  However he discovers the communications on his base are inadequate.  He must travel to another base.  Meantime the space ship is hit by asteroids and a dear friend is killed.  Lofthouse is finally able to contact them; but they are not sure what to do with the information.  They do land to bury their friend and take off again for Jupiter.  Lofthouse many years earlier discovered the moon.  He also fathered a child and it turns out he saves her.  

This movie is available through Netflix.  Likely because of Covid it did not do well at the box office.
