Clooney lays everything on think (as star and director) in this apocalyptic parable about a lone Arctic scientist in contact with a crew of astronauts returning to Earth after a global catastrophe. Yet another derivative prestige sci-fi picture that asks big questions and decides the only answer is a dad hugging his daughter.
