George Clooney’s Netflix sci-fi adventure “The Midnight Sky,” about a scientist’s trek across an arctic landscape to save a young girl has not exactly generated the warmest responses among either critics or audiences.

With just one day left before its release on the streaming giant, “The Midnight Sky,” which Clooney directed as well as starred in, currently holds a below-mediocre 56% rating on Rotten Tomatoes among critics and an even worse audience score of 39%. The consensus: a tepid, dramatic film that fails to match its narrative ambition, saved only by Clooney’s dedicated performance.
