    • Trivia
      At approximately 39 minutes, the black and white film they are watching is On the Beach (1959), a movie about the end of the world starring Ava Gardner and Gregory Peck; Peck's real life grandson, Ethan Peck, plays Augustine's (George Clooney's) younger self.
    • Goofs
      When Clooney's character falls into the water while making the trek to another communications/satellite station, he would likely have succumbed to after just minutes.
    • Quotes

      Augustine: You know, there's no rule that says you have to touch everything.

    What was that?

    Just a mess of disparite scenes stitched together with little or no narrative. The movie doesn't know what it is trying to be and therefore ends up being nothing new or interesting.

    I saw this in a cinema as I was hoping it would be a more immersive experience than waiting for it on Netflix. I have fallen alseep three times in a cinema. This was one of those films.

    George Clooney is a good actor and director. Good Night, and Good Luck is one of my favourite films. This was just a disaster.
