I thought The Midnight Sky was one of the best modern films I've seen in years. Clooney's direction was masterful: from perfectly framed shots packed with pathos to perfect pacing and beautful effects and gently-honed relationships. But above all, and so unusual for American films, it does not insult the viewers' intelligence.
OK, there is some whacky "science" such as the premise of a ready-made habitable moon of Jupiter and surviving a deathly experience in the Arctic without any obvious ill-effects - but I was more than prepared to forgive those lapses.
