More focus on the arctic journey and Augustine's past & relationship with Iris would have been been way more interesting than spending half the film (and I guess most of the budget) flying a spaceship through asteroid belts and hitting every possible scientific inaccuracy along the way.

Well that was underwhelming
Absolutely no point
This definitely could've worked as a series. Netflix could've done their usual. Great/popular first season then cancel it immediately and create 10 low budget foreign movies and tv shows in its place. What the hell is happening in this movie? Basically the crew of an expedition to a fictional moon of Jupiter called K-23 is returning to earth and George Clooney, in the Arctic circle, is trying to warn them about the uninhabitable conditions on the surface due to some unknown apocalypse. Let me save you the immense frustration you'll inevitably feel after watching this... What happened to earth? Apocalypse...Never explained. What happened to the crew of the ship? Turned around and went back to k23...no other information. Are there survivors on earth underground? Never explained. Little girl? Doesn't exist..obvious in first 10 mins. What happened to the pilot who returned to earth to find his family? Never explained Does the crew have the resources to create a colony on k23? Never explained Why does the crew seem to have such a nonchalant attitude towards the destruction of their home and families? Never explained Why did I watch this movie? No sufficient explanation.
What's the point...
I mean, it looks great, filmed great, the actors are good but the story... dear god.. what was the point... it literally goes absolutely nowhere.
