“How can we make 2021 even worse than it is?” Qoute by OBig Boy (not a joke) in Google Reviews of Don’t Look Up.
I will not lie, this movie is probably harder to critique than Titanic. With two sides of the coin standing by “leftist propaganda” or an “important message to humankind”, Don’t Look Up gives us lot to unpack. The flick itself is no more redeemable from any other disaster show in theatres.
The ending, predicted, is a bad one. Nothing gets solved, because no one was willing to listen to the astrologists who discovered the very comet. Now, take apart all of those fancy adjectives.. This movie is not far different. Although, I personally would not rate it one star, it’s not deserving of a 3 either.
The plot does get depressing fast, hell, the whole story does. I couldn’t take the stress included with any character crying.
Like, we get it.
The three are repeatedly trying to save the planet, and no goddamn government is listening. And also, pop-stars and their breakups somehow (?!) connect us as a whole. The desperate, sad even, reality of it all makes sense — This is the world we’re living in right now. This situation is not impossible to happen one day.
But, why? Why make a movie that’s less of a calling to stop climate change, instead, more of a long, tired sigh? I’m not trying to be biased here, alas, coming from both sides. This movie just has to suck.
It does.
I didn’t learn much that I didn’t already know. This could be a documentary for those “motherfuckers!!!” out there.. Who aren’t “woke” enough. It wouldn’t change a bit of what’s actually going on. Side characters that were never fully explored upon until the end. Two, or more like one, main character that no one really gave a shit about. Politicians, rich CEOs predicting how “boring” Mindy’s death was gonna be, and a fucking dinosaur ending.
Not to mention, the continuous crying and moaning (wait, i mentioned that).
1 and a half star. $75 million dollars put into the budget and an all celebrity cast can’t save such a wreck of a dump-fire this was.
