The ones claiming we'd see the iCar before 2020 were evidently false, but that doesn't mean an Apple Car isn't on its way.

Despite that lack of buzz, the gripping, atmospheric film was named one of the year's best movies by the National Board of Review and is a contender for an Academy Award nomination for its breathtaking visual effects. The Midnight Sky is directed by Clooney and has the actor portray a terminally ill scientist who must embark on a dangerous journey through the Arctic Circle in order to let a returning spacecraft know the Earth is no longer habitable due to a recent global catastrophe. Felicity Jones portrays a crew member on the Aether, a massive, deep-space exploratory vessel returning from a journey to K-23, a fictional moon of Jupiter capable of supporting human life.   Digital Trends spoke to Graham Page and Shawn Hillier, the VFX supervisors from Oscar-winning studio Framestore who were tasked with bringing the movie's unique vision for both long-term space travel and an environmental apocalypse to the screen. From the Aether's forward-thinking use of existing tech to the intense meteorological nightmare Clooney's character endures, The Midnight Sky tapped into a wide spectrum of visual effects artistry to tell its story.

At the bottom of its app, no longer will you find an option to compose a new post or even a tab to browse who liked and commented on your recent pictures and videos. Instead, these are now tucked away in a corner to make room for the photo-sharing social network's latest ventures: e-commerce and a bottomless pit of vertical videos. That's not to be confused with the clips housed under the TV-like icon or the row of ephemeral stories at the top of your feed.   Most of these didn't exist two years ago. So what happened?  The answer to that is flashed in all caps every time you open the Instagram app: Facebook.
