Don't Look Up

I would laugh a lot more in this movie if the satire didn't hurt this much.

A great disaster movie, probably the funniest, if something similar ever happens, it's going to be reminded in the same way we now think about the movie Contagion.

I came to this with very differing reviews from others.

For my 5 cents I felt this was utter genius and deserving of an Oscar.

I can see why some people didn't like it. It's funny, but not. It's uncomfortable and irreverent, It engenders diametrically opposed opinions, but that is it's very point.

When faced with existential crisis the human race fails catastrophically to pull together, instead politicising everything to polarised conflict, be it nationally or internationally. Opinions on this movie are no different, and I can't help think that's part of the point itself.

What I found really struck (forgive the pun) for me with this was that, for all its chaos, under the surface the flow of the movie is actually very clever, as the cast move through the different stages of grief, at different speeds, and handle them in their own way; making the end extremely poignant, warming, heartbreaking, terrifying and darkly funny all at the same time.

Oh how true this is when it comes to those who are asleep.

finally a film without happy ending. great story, great cast. dicaprio suprised me he was actually really good in this movie.

Worth watching just for the post credit scene

Brilliant. The beginning was frustrating, seeing their refusal to accept the truth. a reflection of our current reality. Then I just gave up and enjoyed the stupidity.

Am I just wondering, how do they get the inspiration for the greedy and shitty govt? :))

A very realistic description of the real world
