The Midnight Sky Film Discussion Questions
The Midnight Sky film is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story that stars George Clooney, Felicity Jones, and David Oyelewo. It is a Netflix movie. October would be a good month to watch the film as we are thinking of scary things like the apocalypse anyway. However, this is a thought-provoking and sad movie about how the world might end.
The Midnight Sky Discussion Questions
1. Do
we know what happened to the earth? What do you think happened?
2.
Who is Augustine Lofthouse?
3.
Why does Lofthouse want to warn the spaceship returning
to Earth so it would not return?
4.
The abandoned child appears and does not speak. What
happened that may have caused her to not speak?
5.
Describe the crew onboard the Aether.
6.
In the book, Sully was not pregnant. In the film,
they built the fact she actually was pregnant into the story. Do you feel it
added tension and depth to the story?
7.
Lofthouse goes to great lengths almost beyond human
endurance to warn the people on the spaceship about the problems on earth.
Why?
8.
Lofthouse loses his dialysis equipment in an accident.
How did that affect the story?
9. How does Sully describe K-23 to Lofthouse? When she says her name is Iris, what did that imply?
Screenwriter Mark L. Smith also co-wrote the Revenant. Previously, we posted discussion questions about the Revenant movie and book. Does this information tell you The Midnight Sky might be serious?
