Watched The Midnight Sky last night. I can’t recommend it. A few points really bothered me. Spoilers below.
First, it was predictable - Clooney has what I call “Shyamalan Syndrome.” Does he not notice the patterns from his other films? Second, I am tired of seeing movies involving space exploration with unbelievably small teams. Sure, exploring space is expensive and difficult. Is that really a reason not to have basic succession planning and redundancy? Accidents happen here on Earth. So, what is the point of sending anyone into space with a team so specialized that if one person dies, the rest of the team is fucked? Sure, you can develop a ship that only requires two people to pilot it, but let’s not forget the USCSS Nostromo.
Along the same lines, why would there be an escape pod that needs two pilots? WTH kind of thinking designs a craft like that? Yay, you’re the sole survivor - too bad you can’t escape! If only you’d managed to save one of your crewmates who can also pilot a ship. 
Finally, the lack of Earth contingency planning means the ones left on the ship will be the last humans. Sending people to explore a new world for colonization - check. Sending enough with them in case the worst happens while they’re gone - whoops. Unless some space-faring Bringloidi happen upon them to help with the gene pool, their children will be the end of the line. Better hope there aren’t any unfortunate accidents in the future, or the kids might wind up feral space spawn. A terrible ending for everyone.
