Don't Look Up (2021)

[Btone]

i like it also, it no classic but i do like the way they took the micky of all the people in today world that we know wouldn't look up. also noticed a lot of the types of people who wouldn't look up or who help promote not to look up. seem to dislike the movie

What I've noticed on Facebook is it's the people who come out with all the conspiracy theories of Covid, Climate Change, anti mask & anti vax that don't seem to be getting it.

I got it mostly and some parts were decent but it was all over the place.

It's not something I'd choose to watch again.

Out of principle, I don’t turn films off unless they’re really really bad.

This wasn’t quite bad enough for me but it was a struggle.

Some jokes got a laugh (the general charging for the free snacks etc) but it was mostly cringe and the entire “not take it seriously” premise really made me feel uneasy. Like some sort of anxiety-by-proxy thing, so in that regard DiCaprio did his job.

However, the true star of the film was the VFX team that fixed Jennifer Lawrence’s tooth (which was broken and couldn’t be fixed during COVID). She actually filmed this with a broken tooth.

Not much to say about this, other than halfway through I was rooting for the comet.

I swear satire used to be more subtle than this.

Wasn't bad though.

You have just summed it up a lot of people missed this.

We gave up after about 40 minutes, the missus found it a bit boring. I'll probably give it a re-watch, but as others have said, it wasn't great.

How subtle can satire be in a world where the actual President of the US was talking about bleaching coronavirus out of your body and fed the Whitehouse with industrial quantities of McDonalds?

Whilst watching it could not help but think that this is what would happen in a trump Whitehouse

It was a bit of a laugh for a brain off movie although the science of something like that happening in real life (impact event) is talked about by Brian Cox in ref to the movie:

Thought it was fine, some laughs. Could have been an hour shorter and made the same point.

 

[LOAM]

It could have been on the discovery channel as a documentary on modern day America. I've pretty much lolled all the way through it but I came from a point of knowing nothing about it at all, we thought it was a rehash of a deep impact type disaster movie so had zero expectations, I genuinely found it incredible lol.

Actual laughed out loud at the instant cut from open mouthed bar punters to full blown riot.

I'm rooting for the a comet to come in reality.

I've watched it 3 times now.

I thought it was great.

 

[gettothechopper]

its good, but its just kind of depressing that this is accurate rather than satire

100% agree, i watched it with frustration because society has really steeped to that level.

Humans are stupid.

I thought it was ok, but found it depressing rather than funny.
