The Midnight Sky

 This is a film that could be better if it were dumber - there's some decent action moments in here, combined with some unsteady and vague world building and emotional moments - it splits between two stories, one starring Clooney as a radio technician left behind on a desolate earth, one set on a ship returning from a colony scouting mission returning to that same desolate earth. They both take their turns at being in focus, and both have their moments, but ultimately neither utterly satisfies, and the final twist in the tale is awfully forced and awkward.
