I enjoyed the movie a lot. Not sure why the reviews are bad! The movie is not a full-on sci-fi but a combination of drama and sci-fi. Loved the story, music background, set, and mostly Goerge Clooney's acting. He did a really great job playing Augustine. The relationship between Augustine and the girl was a touching part of the movie.
Spoiler: The end when we realize that Augustine didn't evacuate the Arctic Station so he can alert Iris is the most emotional moment of the movie. Absolutely loved the climax.
